Metal woks and stir-frying were already widespread during the Song dynasty, and the wok reached the rounded, thin-walled shape still used today during the Ming dynasty; the technique later spread throughout the rest of Asia and, in recent centuries, to the West.FactsStir FryingConnectionsIn the Other AtlasesSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsOrigin Period, From (Year)Well-attestedfrom 500 1Origin RegionWell-attestedChina 2Heat LevelWell-attestedHigh 3Stir FryingFilter Results4 entriesCuisineAllChinese Cuisine (1)Cuban Cuisine (1)Indian Cuisine (1)Peruvian Cuisine (1)CourseAllMain Course (3)Side Dish (1)Dietary SuitabilityAllContains Meat or Poultry (3)Vegan (1)Main IngredientAllChili Pepper (1)Okra (1)Potato (1)Red Onion (1)Rice (1)Soybean (2)Tomato (1)Dish FamilyAllEast Asian Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes (1)Latin American and Caribbean Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes (1)South Asian Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes (1)Southeast Asian Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes (1)Format/TypeAllEast Asian Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes (1)Latin American and Caribbean Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes (1)South Asian Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes (1)Southeast Asian Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes (1)Origin RegionAllChina (2)Peru (1)Era (Origin Period)All1850 (1)1903 (1)TraditionAllStreet Food Culture (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 4Bhindi fryStir FryingFried RiceStir FryingKung Pao ChickenStir FryingLomo SaltadoStir FryingConnectionsAssociated WithKung Pao Chicken, Dishes Well-attested Pad Thai, Dishes Well-attested Prepares DishesBhindi fry, Dishes Well-attested Source Bhindi fry (Wikipedia)Char Kway Teow, Dishes Well-attested Source Char Kway Teow (Wikipedia)tier 3Chow Mein, Dishes Well-attested Source Chow Mein (Wikipedia)tier 3Drunken noodles, Dishes Well-attested Source Drunken noodles (Wikipedia)Fried Rice, Dishes Well-attested Source Fried Rice (Wikipedia)Japchae, Dishes Well-attested Source Japchae (Wikipedia)tier 3Kung Pao Chicken, Dishes Well-attested Source Kung Pao Chicken (Wikipedia)tier 3Lomo Saltado, Dishes Well-attested Source Lomo Saltado (Wikipedia)tier 3Minchee, Dishes Well-attested Source Minchee (Wikipedia)Nasi Goreng, Dishes Well-attested Source Nasi Goreng (Wikipedia)tier 2Pad Thai, Dishes Well-attested Source Pad Thai (Wikipedia)tier 3Rendang, Dishes Well-attested Source Rendang (Wikipedia)tier 2Swikee, Dishes Well-attested Source Swikee (Wikipedia)In the Other AtlasesOriginated InChinaAlso in Geography Atlas: where this subject originated.Source Stir Frying (Wikipedia)Sources1.
