Stir-frying is a cooking technique in which ingredients are fried in a small amount of very hot oil while being stirred or tossed in a wok. The technique originated in China and in recent centuries has spread into other parts of Asia and the West. It is similar to sautéing in the Western cooking technique.
Stir-frying has been promoted as generally healthy and nutritious. Writers extolled the quick cooking at high heat for retaining colour, texture, and nutritional value.
A study by researchers at the Department of Food Science and Nutrition at Zhejiang University compared the effects of boiling, steaming, and stir-frying on bamboo shoots.
Boiling and steaming decreased the amount of protein, soluble sugar, ash, and total free amino acids by more than one-third. With 78.9% retention, stir-frying preserved significantly more vitamin C than boiling.
