# Expert Hints:
01 -
- The smoky char from the griddle gives it that authentic campfire flavor without needing a full smoker setup
- Everything cooks in one lightning fast session so you spend less time prep and more time eating
- The sauce hits every perfect note sweet, smoky, tangy and coats everything in glossy goodness
02 -
- Do not overcrowd the griddle or your ingredients will steam instead of developing that perfect sear
- Let the griddle get properly hot before adding anything, otherwise you will end up with a soggy stir fry
03 -
- A few drops of liquid smoke in the sauce takes this to next level smoky flavor territory
- Work in batches if your griddle is small rather than overcrowding and sacrificing the sear
