Continue stir frying until the vegetables are all tender crisp, about 2 minutes more. Add the remaining stock, soy sauce, and cornstarch mixture and stir fry until vegetables all look lightly glazed with the sauce, about 1 minute more. At this point you can already smell the sauce mixing with the vegetables and are being cooked to produce that wonderful aromatic and flavorful scent throughout your kitchen.
