If even just one of these are missing from the kitchen, then the whole house becomes out of wack.

There are so many restaurant technique to control the crunch of each veggy. Blanching is a technique in restautant for time saving. When cooking pad pak (ผัดผัก) at home, I would cook mushroom with oil in super high heat first to give charred flavour. Then drop fire to medium >> add diced garlic (don't burn your garlic 😂) >> Add carrot and sweet pea. >> cook them half way >> turn on the highest heat >> wait for oil smoke >> quickly throw the rest of the veggies and flip your wok quickly. This way, *cabbage will release steam and cook all the veggies.* If the wok is dry, add a dash of water to prevent sticky pan and deglace flavour. Add condiments to your liking❤ Observe your Padpak. Normally wok veggy will shrink by 50% but remain colorful. It shous be shimmering with oil and flavour. If veggy looks sad and brown, then the heat isn't high enough. Flip the veggies couple times Serve. 👍

If you're worried about excess moisture in your veggies after blanching them, put them in your salad spinner for a few rounds and your veg will stir fry without going soggy. I use my salad spinner to dry mushrooms after I wash them as well. I can't imagine eating dirty mushrooms without washing them. And the salad spinner takes all the excess moisture out of them so you don't end up with waterlogged mushrooms.

No. Honey is typically not used in Asian stir fry vegetables. It is not necessary to pre-blanch vegetables before stir frying. Just chop all the vegetables into similar sizes, put in cooking oil, some aromatics like chopped garlic, onion or ginger or all 3 of them, followed by the hardest vegetables first since they would take the longest time to soften, then followed by the softer vegetables, add in seasoning, such as salt. Not necessary to add lime or lemon juice (that's not very Asian), as not making salad dressing.

You already cooked the mushroom, carrot takes much longer to become tender, snow pea requires very little cooking, that means the rest of your vegetable is only the cabbage which takes the longest of all the vegetables to become tender. If the cabbage released the steam, you wouldn't need water and it won't release steam if it's the last vegetable you put in and it will over cook the snow pea. I'm sure with all these idea's, not many people could tell the difference between the different styles.

At what point should one be conscious of mixing water with oil, like how the blanched vegetables got thrown into the cooking oil without drying? Is it more just not adding a ton of water at once to it, dependent on how high the heat is, etc? I've lived in fear of doing this but realize it's probably overblown, based off the amount of people I see not drying wet food before putting it in oil.
