Cultural Context

Originating from Chinese cuisine, stir fry is a quick cooking method that emphasizes fresh ingredients and vibrant flavors. Traditionally, it was a way to prepare meals quickly over high heat, making it ideal for busy households. Today, stir fry has become a global favorite, with countless variations incorporating local ingredients and flavors.
