     The high temperature required for stir-frying sears food 
     quickly and preserves the natural juices. It takes only 
     minutes (two to five, usually), so vegetables stay bright 
     and crisp, meat browned and succulent. When the heat is high
     and the cooking quick, the Cantonese describe the result as
     wok hay―loosely translated "the breath of a wok." It's a
     difficult quality to define, but you can experience it in the
     first few moments after food is removed from the wok. The food
     tastes vibrant and fresh, characterized by concentrated, harmonious
     flavors with a hint of smokiness. To appreciate wok hay, serve 
     food immediately.
