Adam Liaw Instagram – Tonight’s dinner. Beef, asparagus and capsicum with oyster sauce. Stir-frying is all about technique, but that’s not to say that it’s difficult. I’ve changed the way I stir-fry over the years to make things more efficient for home cooking. While restaurant cooking usually fries or oil-blanches the meat first, for home cooking I think it’s better to cook the vegetables first and then remove them from the wok to fry the meat second, returning the vegetables to the meat later. This avoids the need to wash the wok if any meat sticks to the metal (which it usually shouldn’t). This recipe fries the asparagus, capsicum and onion first, then the beef second, tossing everything together with simple seasonings of oyster sauce, soy sauce, wine and sugar.
