Stir-frying was first developed in China as a cooking method that worked efficiently on simple brick stoves. Oil and chopped food were stirred and tossed in the skillet, cooking in minutes.

Nowadays stir-frying fits hectic lifestyles and health-conscious tastes. Vegetables retain their color and texture and remain crisp. Meats and seafood are flavorful, tender.

Happy cooking and eating!
