Avoiding Bitter Garlic in Stir-fry

Do you find that when frying garlic it goes bitter? It's not the garlic's fault. It's because its over cooked. 

Usually during stir-fries, you're often directed to add onion and garlic to a hot oily pan. This is where you're going wrong. Garlic takes less time to cook than onion. 

So next time, add the onion first, when its about to go translucent, then add the garlic. If you forget to add the garlic then, you can add it while your other ingredients are in the pan (meat, veges etc). No dramas and no burnt bitter garlic.
