Stir fry is a quick and easy Chinese dish. Many people can stir fry without any recipes because stir fry sounds like just throwing every in the pan. But that is WRONG… Yes, stir fry is quick and easy to cook but it’s not frying everything together all at once. Many people mistake that and their Stir Fry ended up being very watery or overcooked.
