Continuing on with our Chinese cuisine dinner
meal, we will make a stir-fry meat dish: Pork Vegetables
Stir fry. Stir-frying is probably the most popualr Chinese
cooking technique. Used extensively in Chinese cuisine,
stir fry focuses on the speed at which food is cooked. Normally
in Chinese cuisine, a stir-fry dish will be cooked in less
than 5 minutes. You can learn
about stir-frying and Chinese cooking techniques in detail

Remeber, speed is very important when stir-frying.

is very important. The meat is cooked first because it takes
the longest to cook. The vegetables don't take long to cook,
so they're add last. Complete Chinese cuisine and cooking
