What are the essential tools and/or ingredients used in stir fry cooking?
What are some good items to have on hand for stir frying? Such as spices and sauces, oils, etc. I plan to do a lot of oriental recipes, FYI.
Thanks in advance!
Answer:
1. A wok or non-stick frying pan
2. High temperature cooking surface for fast cooking
3. A sharp knife for cutting ingredients into bite-sized pieces to speed cooking process
4. One or two stirring implements (wok tools are best but wooden spoons or spurtles can do the job)
5. Basic ingredients for wide range of stir-fry:
a. Soy Sauce (Kikkoman is best if you don't want to have different types on hand. It is a balanced soy between light and dark
b. Sesame Oil as a flavoring agent, not a cooking oil
c. Peanut Oil as a cooking oil
d. Cornstarch or arrowroot or potato starch as a thickener for sauces
e. Garlic (fresh minced is best, garlic powder or granulated garlic next best...never use garlic salt, it is a waste of money
f. Imagination and persistence.....enjoy it and do it often, you will become an expert in no time.
