Stir-frying Category
Stir-frying is a fast cooking technique originating from Chinese cuisine that involves cooking small, uniform pieces of food quickly over high heat in a wok. This method preserves the food's texture, color, and nutritional value while enhancing flavor through rapid searing and caramelization. Essential to stir-frying is the use of minimal oil and constant stirring or tossing to ensure even cooking without burning. Vegetables, meats, and sauces can be combined seamlessly, making stir-frying a versatile and healthy cooking method.
