The tenderness of juicy meat and crunchy vegetables always attracts person to kitchen cooking. One of the most popular ways of preparing these ingredients is stir frying. In order, to stir fry, it is vital that you own a Chinese wok as its ability to catch the splattering of oil and to cook quickly places it miles ahead of an American wok. In addition, it is very easy to clean. Just follow these steps to learn how to become a stir frying master:
- Before you begin, heat the wok up to remove the ferrite taste. Then, use a wet towel to wipe away the accumulated dust and grease off.
- Then, heat the wok again. Usually, you will put about 1 – 1 1/2 tablespoons of cooking oil into it. Add the marinated meat to your wok and stir for about 45 seconds or until the outer gets cooked and darkens.
- Add vegetables that take a long time to cook (for example, if peapods and bok choy are going to be cooked, add the bok choy and THEN pea pods).
- Here is where any seasoning is usually added. If you have any seasoning, add it in while lightly stirring the meat. If you don’t have any, add in any ingredients that you have left. Continue to stir until your meal is cooked.
