The Ideal cuts for a stir-fry are fillet, loin and leg. These cuts can be diced, minced or cut into portioned strips ready for stir-frying. When cutting meat, always ensure you cut the meat across the grain.
Preheat wok to a high temperature. The wok is ready when a heat haze is visible. Cook strips, diced pieces or mince on a high heat for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
