I have decided to fry food in my small pot. Surprisingly and much to my delight, it works! No sticking of food to the wok. I get to cover the pot and prevent oil from splattering, without having to use a big cover (for the wok). This means less washing for my hub and less effort in mopping the floor for me. :)
Anyways, I was trying to 'replicate' the delicious Sweet and Sour Chicken balls we had at the kopitiam tze char. I didn't manage to get the exact taste but the product was just as tasty, especially when the chicken strips are still piping hot from the pot. :) Eh? Hot. Pot. It rhymes. Heh...

Why don't you get a stainless steel / nonstick pan? They work great for frying stuff.
I don't want to get a teflon pan due to health reasons. Mine's a stainless steel, but it still sticks! I wonder if it has got anything to do with the temperature of the oil? Any idea? :P
I was planning to buy a green pan, it's better then the regular non-stick and it says not to stick at all + can take high temp when cooking.
Oh really! I have not heard of a green pan before. I have just done a search and realised that it's not only environmentally friendly, non-stick, but also does not release toxic substance at high temperature! Thanks for recommending this! Are you now using it? I am not too sure where I can get it in Singapore and for how much. Any idea?
Oh ya, btw, care to add me to your xanga blog? Would like to know more about you too. :)
