Stir-frying is a quick method of cooking meat, as the thin strips cook in only a few minutes.

It is only necessary to use a very small amount of oil (1tbsp) when stir-frying. Use a vegetable based oil which can be heated to higher temperatures. Use a non-stick wok or large frying pan. Always ensure that the pan or wok is really hot before adding meat a little at a time - it should sizzle when the pieces are added. The meat should ideally be trimmed of excess fat and cut into approximately 1cm strips.
