Mastering Chinese Stir-Frying

Chinese stir-frying is all about the preparation. Once you have all your stir-fry ingredients cleaned, cut and ready to go, the rest should be easy-peasy and super-duper fast. I mean really, really fast. The key to great stir-frying is heating your wok or skillet up very hot so the proteins are nicely seared and the veggies are tender but crisp. You want to keep things moving. The term stir-frying is a bit of a misnomer because the action is more about tossing and flipping than it is about stirring.
