Real-life information

An image of a wok being used to stir fry.

A wok (Chinese: 鑊; pinyin: huò) is a type of cooking pan from China used for various cooking techniques, including stir frying. The cooking pan is said to have originated from karahi, a cooking pot from the Indian subcontinent. Due to its unique shape, a wok is able to distribute heat evenly in order to cook food on a precise manner. More information on this topic is available at Wikipedia.

Dishes

Mapo tofu (Chinese: 麻婆豆腐; pinyin: mápó dòufu) is a Chinese dish from Sichuan consisting of tofu in a spicy sauce mixture of douban and douchi, alongside minced meat.

Egg-and-tomato dish is a stir-fried Chinese dish often served with steamed rice. A similar dish is also served in the Philippines.

Fried rice is an Asian cuisine originating from China, consisting of stir-fried rice and mixed with various ingredients.

Stir-fried peppers is based on the stir-fried Chinese dish pepper steak (Chinese: 青椒牛肉; pinyin: qīngjiāoniúròu), a dish composed of sliced beef steak, bell peppers, and bamboo shoots. The stir-fried peppers variant of the imperial pot lacks the sliced beef portion.

Babaocai (Chinese: 八寶菜; pinyin: bābǎocài) is a Chinese dish composed of various vegetables, seafood, and leftover, stir-fried and served as a side or on a bowl of rice. The word babao (八寶) means "eight treasures", indicating that babaocai is a combination of eight ingredients.

Shrimp in chili sauce, also known as chili shrimp (Chinese: 干烧明虾; pinyin: gān shāo míngxiā), is a stir-fried Chinese dish, part of both Sichuan and Shanghai cuisine. A similar dish is also served in Japan, where it is known as ebi-chiri (Japanese: エビチリ).
