Stir-fry is the English term for 炒. It refers to a Chinese cooking technique where ingredients are quickly cooked in a wok over high heat with hot oil. This method allows the food to retain its colors, textures, and nutrients while being cooked quickly. Stir-frying is a popular technique in many Asian cuisines and can be used with a variety of ingredients such as vegetables, meats, and seafood. The key to a successful stir-fry is to have all ingredients prepared and ready to be cooked quickly in the wok, ensuring that they are evenly cooked and flavorful.
