So, what's the secret to good stir fry, just a high heat wok? and where can I get Rice noodles cheaply in the states?
Also this is a stir fry thread.

Yes, oil heat and atir it all the time, nevrr let it be stationary. Dont use shit like olive oil or it wont catch fire.
Buy rice noodles at your shopping center? Or asian mart?
What a terrible thread

OMFG i thought i was the only one who watched this. I love/hate the fact he uses vague everything.
I always like to add eggs. Apparently it also avoids your noodle to become sticky.

So when you make a stir fry you're supposed to burn the oil?
High heat, thin carbon steel pan and good seasonings. Oil depends on personal taste. I've used peanut, vegetable, canola, olive, shortening and bacon fat. There is so many different way its fucking unbelievable. You have to know what you want to cook and eat. Look up simple stir fry recipes with a few ingredients and start from there.

Sounds decent, except the 1/2 cup oil. That's a lot of fucking oil
>>7069125
you can use less, but for the most part everything is going to soak it up or its going to evaporate.
>>7069132
Most of it will be absorbed. Use less or low cholesterol oils.

Yeah no thanks.

ramsay did not make his fame and fortune cooking asian food
>>7068995
not unless you're doing wok bao
ignore ramsey and his olive oil shenanigans, you want peanut, canola, or avocado oil for stir frying, as these have the highest smoke points and arent shit otherwise
you can float around that point where the oil starts to smoke, like ramsay does with his olive oil, but you dont want to break it or stay there because burnt oil does not taste good

I never noticed his intonation being slightly sexually charged.
This annoys me.
>>7068410
Why do chinese people like to drown everything in soy sauce?
>>7070665
Its their version of ranch dressing
When you're cooking, turn your gas stove as high as it'll go, and cook your food in batches (one vegetable at a time etc). Add a little bit of oil with each batch. Dump everything in a bowl and combine in the wok at the end with your sauces.
If you do it this way you get that smoky wok flavour in all your ingredients which is awesome.
