You can make things boring by preparing them the same old way or try something new every once in a while.

1. Cut the vegetables in relatively uniform shape.
2. Make sure most of the veggies have the same cooking time.
3. Take any white oil, odourless oil to fry your veggies.
4. Once the oil is hot, add chopped garlic.
5. Do not overcook the veggies. Make sure they retain a part of their freshness and crunch. Soggy and overcooked veggies do not taste well in a stir-fry.
6. Add soy sauce and stock and toss well.
7. Since the stock and soy sauce has salt, do not add additional salt.
8. Add some corn flour slurry to thicken the gravy; it is optional.
Serve the dish on a bed of hot rice. Here's the video to make stir-fry a fuss-free deal.
