Step 1: Chop Ingredients

First chop your veg into manageable bite size pieces

Step 2: Heat Pan

Heat the pan on a medium to low heat for 1 minute

Step 3: Add oil

Add around 8 tablespoons of oil. You may need more depending on how much veg you are using. Heat this through for 1 minute

Step 4: Add ingredients

Add your food making sure your pan is big enough to hold all of it easily. You could use a skillet or sautee pan but a bog standard frying pan will do the job nicely too

    This is not a saute. It is a deepy fry. To saute by definition involves caramelizing your food as it sticks to the bottom of the pan. It releases from the bottom when it caramelizes...while leaving behind fond (brown sticky bits) that forms the base for sauces.

    there's no water involved in the sauté technique. sauté means cooking very fast small pieces of meat, veg etc in a few drops of oil on a high heat with a continuous moving of the pan and finished with a knob of butter. Pan-Frying means cooking medium-large pieces of meat, veg etc on a medium-low heat using oil or oil and butter. Deep-Frying means cooking meat, veg etc in a large amount of oil in a duch-oven or in an electric/gas friteuse
