Do You Know?
Stir frying is an umbrella term used to describe two fast Chinese cooking techniques: chǎo and bào. The two techniques differ in their speed of execution, the amount of heat used, and the amount of tossing done to cook the food in the wok.

In chao technique a wok is heated to a high temperature. A small amount of cooking oil is then poured down the side of the wok, followed by dry seasonings including ginger and garlic, then at the first moment the seasonings can be smelled, meats are added.

The food is stirred and tossed out very quickly using wooden or metal cooking utensils. Using this method, many dishes can be cooked extremely quickly.
