Taste & Role
High-heat cooking fat that lets ingredients speak.
What it is
Chinese stir-frying needs an oil with a high smoke point and no flavor of its own. Peanut oil is the traditional favorite (nutty, handles 450F), while canola or grapeseed are neutral workhorses. Save olive oil for Western dishes — its low smoke point and grassy flavor fight Chinese aromatics.
