Chinese stir fry is an incredible cooking method to cook food at high temperature. Stir frying is a speedy paced cooking without overcooking the food, which can lead to lost of vitamins and minerals. With high heat over a wok, stir-frying gives the recipe a delightful "wok hei" aroma along with retaining the pure taste of the food.
My family loves to eat Chinese cuisine, particularly the stir fried dishes. Beef-broccoli is the most loved, a very popular American Chinese dish. The tasty beef tenderloins along with the crispy broccoli coated in the flavorful ginger-garlic sauce will make those who have tried it asking for more.
