  13. NOTE: Make sure you don't overcook the vegetables. They should still be a bit crispy, and not mushy, after cooking. The cooking times given in this recipe are just guidelines.
  14. Remove the wok from the heat and serve immediately.
  15. Use rice paper wrappers (i.e. spring roll wrappers), flour tortillas or pita pockets to make vegetable wraps.
  16. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days.
