The fusion between Asian stir-fry techniques and traditional Portuguese ingredients.
Portugal's historical presence in Asia created culinary bridges reflected in the adoption of the wok by contemporary Portuguese cooks. Quick stir-frying is applied to local ingredients like grelos, clams, and chouriço.
In Macau, the fusion between Cantonese and Portuguese cooking generated unique dishes using the wok with Lusophone flavours. This influence returns to Portugal through chefs exploring these historical connections.
