Stir-Frying: Chinese foods get a bad reputation for excessive oil use and fried items. But any of your Chinese friends will tell you that they don’t eat like that at home at all! Stir-frying is the easiest cooking method – it’s fast and it’s tasty. All you need is a non-stick pan (or a wok). Toss sliced meat with cut-up vegetables into your pan. If you are concerned about oil, use broth instead. When the meat and veggies are almost done, add your favorite Chinese sauce into the pan. Most stir-fry dishes can be completed within 10 minutes.

Recommended Tools: A non-stick wok, ready-made Chinese sauces
