Cooking Tip
Long Grain White Rice
Shorter rice varieties tend to be stickier and harder to work with when stir-frying. Avoid a possible mess and use a long grain white rice when preparing Chinese style stir-frys.
Oil For Stir-Frying
While the temptation may be there to use a lot of oil, it really istn necessary with a hot wok and properly prepared and cooled rice. Use a tablespoon of rice and as it reaches its smoking point, swirl the rice around the wok bowl, before adding rice
