Stir Fry

I have an expat friend asking me about stir fry. She mentioned that it's good to see so many kinds of greens in the supermart and she wanted to try doing stir fry.

Basically, before starting a stir fry. You need a wok. It can be single handle or double. It can be non stick, stainless steel or whatever so that you can find in the market nowadays.



Then you prepare the greens, making sure that the greens are almost drip dry. You do not want extra liquid from washing the greens. The greens itself will produce liquid when you cook them. But if you are stir frying root veges(eg: carrot), stems(eg: celery) or leaves(eg: cabbage), they do not produce much liquid or no liquid at all.

Now you make sure the wok is hot, pour in small amount of oil and some chopped garlic. Then put in the greens and stir them quickly till they are soften, Add salt and pepper to taste and is ready to serve.

Anyone can do stir fry. It is the easiest way to get food cook quickly. But of course, cleaning up the kitchen is the biggest headache........
