I want to learn about stir-frying. What is it?<|im_end|>

Stir-frying is a cooking technique where you quickly cook ingredients in a wok or large pan over high heat, constantly stirring them.<|im_end|>

Common ingredients include vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, and broccoli, proteins like chicken, beef, or tofu, and seasonings like soy sauce and garlic.<|im_end|>

Can I use any type of oil for stir-frying?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
It's best to use oils with a high smoke point, such as vegetable oil, peanut oil, or avocado oil, as they can handle the high heat without burning or smoking.<|im_end|>
