  1. stir-fried

    Stir frying (Chinese: 炒; pinyin: chǎo) is a cooking technique in which ingredients are fried in a small amount of very hot oil while being stirred or tossed in a wok. The technique originated in China and in recent centuries has spread into other parts of Asia and the West. It is similar to sautéing in Western cooking technique. Some scholars think that wok frying may have been used as early as the Han dynasty (206 B.C. – 220 A.D.) for drying grain, not for cooking, but it was not until the Ming dynasty (1368–1644) that the wok reached its modern shape and allowed quick cooking in hot oil. However, there are researches show metal wok and stir-frying dishes were already popular in Song dynasty(960–1279), and stir-frying as cooking technique is already recorded in Qimin Yaoshu in 6th century AD. Stir frying and Chinese food have been recommended as both healthy and appealing for their skillful use of vegetables, meats, and fish which are moderate in their fat content and sauces which are not overly rich, provided calories are kept at a reasonable level.The English-language term "stir-fry" was coined by Yuen Ren Chao in Buwei Yang Chao's book How to Cook and Eat in Chinese (1945), to describe the chǎo technique. Although using "stir-fry" as a noun is commonplace in English, in Chinese, the word 炒 (chǎo) is used as a verb or adjective only.
