Stir Fry Tips



Technical pointers to help you wok like an expert.

• Use either a wok or a large, nonstick skillet to make stir-fried meals
  
  
• Partially freeze meat, so it’s easier to slice into thin strips for stir-fry
  
  
• Before you begin cooking, chop vegetables and meat, and assemble all ingredients. For best flavor, stir-fry just before serving
  
  
• Heat the wok or skillet before adding oil. Start with small amount of oil and add more sparingly, as needed. Make sure the oil is hot before you add the remaining ingredients
  
  
• Cook chicken thoroughly during stir-fry process; it should be white all the way through
  
  
• Do not overcook shrimp; they become tough and rubbery. Remove shrimp from heat once they turn pink
  
  
• Stir-fry meat, poultry and seafood over high heat in small batches, to sear the flesh and seal in the juices
