Stir-Fry Top Tips
- Ensure good mise-en-place, i.e., cut everything in advance and prepare it in containers. Stir-frying means acting quickly, and you don't have time to cut anything else.
- Use small portions and little fluid. The intention is to keep the wok as hot as possible to get a good result, but this is no longer possible if portions are too large or there is a lot of moisture. Your wok should crackle when frying. If it starts to hiss, there is either too much in the wok or too wet.
- Initially, add a tablespoon of oil. Usually, it is enough to stir-fry your entire dish. You can add something extra if necessary. Furthermore, use an oil that can withstand high heat: sunflower oil, grapeseed oil, and soy oil are very suitable. You can also use peanut oil, but that is a peanut-based oil, which people with a peanut allergy can react strongly to. Olive oil is not a good oil for stir-frying.
