The secret to stir-frying is the heat. You need a really high heat to cook the ingredients quickly and prevent them stewing in their own juices. That way your stir-fries will always be fresh and crisp, not limp and soggy.

Try this lovely slightly-sweet salad as a side dish to simple grilled chicken pieces or even pork. The pine nuts give a nice contrast to the softness of the rice, while the onions counter-balance the sweetness of the apricots. Yum!
