Low-Fat Tips | Chinese Cooking

  • Use flavorful stock in place of oil for stir-frying.  
  • Use lean cuts of meat and trim all visible fat before cooking.  
  • Poach in stock rather than in water.  
  • Accompany all main courses with plain rice and plenty of steamed or lightly stir-fried vegetables.  
  • Use a well-seasoned wok or cast-iron skillet. Season your wok by making an infused oil or cooking french fries (for the unconverted), then wiping the wok clean.  
  • If you do a lot of steaming, invest in a stainless-steel wok.
