Stir fry is the technique of cooking and naming a dish at the same time. Quickly fry vegetables, seafood, meat, nuts, tofu and sprouts in a new way - not in a lot of boiling oil, but in a barely greased pan or in a wok. In the ideal healthy version, the vegetables should remain semi-raw, brightly colored and slightly crunchy. Meat, seafood or tofu - cooked. Spices, sauces, nuts, other superfoods and condiments are optional. In winter, do not hesitate to use frozen vegetables. Because it is better to eat a cooked thawed portion of vitamins and fiber than not to eat vegetables at all.
