Stir fry is said to be a Chinese cooking process which dates back for over 1500 years. The basic stir-fry involves a quick frying of meat over high-heat with some vegetables in oil using a wok. Meanwhile, the popularity of stir fry became global and many people are adapting this cooking process because of its ease and quickness in preparation.
