Southern Stir Fry
At Our House

Stir-Fry Cooking is considered Chinese Cuisine.


I find it interesting that years ago, boiled vegetables swimming in water, were dipped out of their large cooking pot on the stove and placed in an iron skillet to which bacon fat or some other type of  oil for seasoning, had been added.

It was then stirred and fried and to cook the excess water out and enhance the vegetable flavor.


This was especially how we cooked vegetable greens like cabbage and collards.  


Stir-fry without the sauce was Southern cooking at our house.
