Stir-frying is a technique where ingredients are cooked in oil at very high temperatures. The method began in China, then spread throughout Asia and now has taken over the world. Originally stir-frying was done in a wok, although now, in the West, we tend to also do it in a frying pan and still call it stir-fry. The great appeal of stir-frying is its simplicity and versatility. The ingredients you combine are only limited by your imagination.
