Stir frying is one of the most common cooking techniques used in Chinese dishes. But for those who want to do some home cooking, this technique can be quite a challenge to do at their own kitchens. In reality, stir frying is hard but it is not impossible. So if you want to perfect this cooking technique, then here are simple tips that you can easily follow! Read on and learn!
- The cardinal rule for stir frying is to prepare all of your ingredients first. This is because if you don’t, you will end up running around looking for the next ingredient and your entire dish could end up overcooked. Never attempt to start coking if you have yet to slice or chop up some of your ingredients.
- Make sure that all of your ingredients are equally cooked by cutting them up the roughly the same sizes. This evens up the amount of heat that enters into your vegetable sizes and assures you that everything is cooked thoroughly and equally. The best size would be to cut them up in bite-sized pieces.
- If you do not have a non-stick pan, it is recommended that you preheat your wok in medium heat for a minute or two just before you add in the oil. This way, your ingredients will be introduced into the pan with the right temperature and hasten to cooking process.
- For added flavor to your stir fried ingredients, sauté the oil with some garlic and onions – remember to turn down the heat to keep your spices form burning. Burnt garlic can emit a very bitter flavor and ruin the whole dish.
- And finally, if your stir fried dish involved both meat and vegetables, then it is best to cook the meat first, set it aside and cook the vegetables next. When all you your vegetable ingredients are almost cooked, stir in the meat, fry for a few minutes and you are good to go. This will keep the meat from being overcooked and retains the individual flavor of you ingredients.
