Best pan for stir fries (when you don’t have a wok).

Although it’s preferable to have a wok, it isn’t mandatory for making good stir fries. What’s more important is cooking the ingredients well – vegetables should still yield a little crunch while the meat should be moist and tender. I don’t have a wok since my small NYC kitchen barely has any storage space. I make do with the pans I have and though I dream about owning a wok someday, I’ve been doing just fine without one. My recommendation is to get a large frying pan – the most surface you have, the easier it will be to toss the ingredients.
