    Not chinese, but you sure there was a coating? Basic stir-fry process is

    1. Deepfry or blanch everything for however long you need to cook the insides

    2. Set aside for however long

    3. Throw some of the oil a hot pan with garlic and other aromatics, cook like 30 seconds

    4. Throw pre-cooked ingredients in, crank heat to max, making sure not to burn anything, but still let it cook.

    5. Throw in salt, sugar, soysauce, whatever.

    6. Add water+cornstarch mix

    If you don’t pre-cook, you have to use lower temp and everything spends more time in cool oil and makes the whole thing greasy.
