Cook’s tip
The key to successful stir-frying is to prepare all the ingredients before starting to cook. Heat the oil until almost smoking before adding the food. Stir the food continuously with a spatula or long wooden spoon.

Egg fried rice and a carrot and spring onion salad make tasty and authentic accompaniments to this oriental favourite.
