COOKING TECHNIQUES

Stir fry tips 

• 

Buy meat strips from your butcher or 

supermarket, or prepare meat strips from 

recommended cuts by removing any 

fat and slicing thinly across the grain 

(across direction of meat fibres).

• 

Slicing across the grain optimises 

tenderness. Cut into very thin strips, 

approximately 5 to 6cm in length. 

Partially freeze meat (approximately  

30 minutes) to make slicing easier. 

Ensure meat strips are fully defrosted 

before cooking.

• 

Stir fry meat strips in small batches 

(approx 200 - 300g) to stop meat 

releasing juice and ‘stewing’, avoiding 

tougher meat results.

• 

When adding meat strips to the wok, 

the strips should sizzle on the non-stick 

surface.

• 

Stir fry meat strips for 1 - 2 minutes. Any 

longer cooking may toughen meat.

• 

Remove each batch when cooked and 

allow wok to reheat before stir frying the 

next batch. By cooking in small batches 

the heat of the wok remains constant, 

ensuring the meat does not release 

juices and toughen.

• 

A small amount of oil can be mixed 

through the meat strips before adding 

to the wok, together with any other 

flavouring such as garlic, ginger and 

chilli. A little sesame oil can also add 

flavour. Mixing meat with the oil rather 

than heating the oil separately in the 

wok eliminates using too much oil.

• 

Drain thin marinades from meat strips 

before stir frying to prevent stewing and 

splatter.

• 

Peanut oil is traditionally used for stir 

fry Asian style dishes. However other 

oils such as vegetable, canola and light 

olive may be used.

• 

Do not over fill the wok. If necessary 

cook in batches and reheat at the end 

of stir frying. If using this method 

remember to under cook slightly to not 

overcook the end result.

• 

Serve stir fried foods immediately to 

retain their crisp texture.

• 

Stir fry vegetables, after searing the meat, 

in a little oil (or sprinkling of water) until 

vivid in colour for:

3 MINUTES

onion quartered, broccoli flowerets, 

carrots sliced, soaked chinese  

dried mushrooms

2 MINUTES

snow peas, capsicum, sliced 

zucchinis, sliced water chestnuts, 

bamboo shoots

1 MINUTE

garlic, minced chilli, minced ginger, 

minced shallots, chopped bean sprouts

STEAMING

Recommended temperature setting 4-5.

Steamed foods are tender and juicy and retain 

most of their nutritional value when cooked 

in the wok.  
To steam foods, follow the following 

procedure:

• 

Add approximately 2 cups of water or 

stock to the wok. Place a suitable sized 

steaming rack into the wok. Liquid should 

not cover the rack. Cover with lid.

• 

Preheat wok on heat setting 4 - 5 until 

liquid simmers. Remove the lid.

• 

Place foods to be steamed on the 

steaming rack.

• 

Cover wok with lid and simmer until food 

is cooked as desired.

NOTE

A steaming rack is not included with 

this product and can be purchased 

separately from homeware shops.

Steaming tips

• 

If using a metal rack take care not to 

scratch the non-stick surface.

• 

Do not allow the water or stock to touch 

the rack or food.

• 

Check liquid level occasionally. Add more 

hot water if further steaming is required.
