I thought "real" stir fry required more heat than what a typical western stove can give. I've kind of used that as an excuse for my attempts at stir-frys being mid at best.

To be fair, the "you can't stir fry in a western kitchen" is a half-remembered claim from an old book about Chinese cuisine written by an English woman, so I'm not hard to convince otherwise.

I've heard this before, but I've also heard the counterpoint that a modern Chinese home isn't going to have a high BTU stove either. My next step is to watch a bunch of cooking videos on Youku to see what modern Chinese people are doing.
