• Stir-Frying: Heat a small amount of oil in the wok over medium-high heat. Add ingredients in batches to avoid overcrowding, stirring constantly until cooked.
• אידוי: Use the glass lid to create a steaming environment. You can place a steaming rack (not included) inside the wok with a small amount of water at the bottom.
