| Pork stir fry Produced to
meet the growing demand for quickly prepared meals.
Lean, tender meat, cut into thin strips which may be
sold ready-seasoned and with chopped vegetables added
(called ’value added’). Beef and Lamb Stir-Fry also
available.
Stir-Fry. This is a fast and healthy method of
cooking, becoming increasingly popular. Use a
heavy-based pan or wok, over a high heat and toss and
stir ingredients continuously for just a few minutes.
Virtually anything can be added to a stir-fry, from
spring onions, bean sprouts and shredded cabbage to more
exotic ingredients like baby corn and mange tout. Choose
colourful combinations and slice to cook quickly. Ideal
for all kinds of occasions, served with rice or noodles.
Stir-frying is a healthy method of cooking because it
uses very little oil and the vegetables are cooked
quickly, retaining their crispness and vitamin content.
Made up in a marinade is likely to be cheaper than
meat alone, since the inclusion of other ingredients
lowers the price per 450g (1 Ib). Very convenient for a
tasty, nourishing meal when time is short.
