The key is to let them simmer, then turn down the heat and let the food work its way to eating temperature, or thereabouts. I put whatever sauce I am using in just before the simmer, and flip it in.

I get easy and consistent results. For lager batches you stir fry longer, but the simmer is pretty much always the same. This is a simple way to get edible food.
Simmering is not Stir Frying. Steaming is not Stir Frying. What u are making is mush. Simmering is what I used to do and that is why I never thought I had cooking the yellow peoples food down.Now I have a better understanding of the process.
