Etymology
The term "stir fry" is a calque of the Chinese term chǎo (炒), which literally means "to stir-fry". The term was first used in English in the mid-20th century.
Technique
Stir frying involves the use of a wok, a versatile round-bottomed cooking pan, and a high heat source. Ingredients are added to the wok in a particular order, allowing each one to cook properly without overcooking the others. The process often begins with the frying of aromatics, such as garlic and onions, followed by the addition of other ingredients according to their cooking times.
