Tips for stir fried water chestnuts. 1. When choosing fresh water chestnuts, look for firm ones with an unwrinkled skin and no soft spots - otherwise when you peel the water chestnut you may find it has softened and turned mushy. 2. Saute them on a medium to high flame and not slow flame. By cooking them on a slow flame, you might lose its crunch. 3. Serving immediately is also important to enjoy its freshly cooked flavours and texture.
