Stir-frying is healthy. Over high heat, with very little fat, meats become tender and vegetables retain their color and texture. The secret is in the constant stirring and tossing. If you don't have a wok, a large heavy frying pan will do nicely. Chicken stir-fry is cut into narrow strips from white breast meat. It is cooked quickly over high heat in a small amount of oil. To avoid burning, stir constantly. Usually, it is cooked in combination with vegetables and seasonings such as garlic and ginger. When cooked, it can also be added to pasta or soup.

Tip: Coat wok or deep skillet with 1 tablespoon oil. Use a folding motion to stir ingredients quickly.
