Can a griddle be used to do stir fry ? I'm looking at electric griddle
that has 1500 watts.

A griddle is flat, no? Then it's not suited for stir fry because you
often need to add liquids.

Then how do the restaurants get away with. I'm thinking of the Mongolian
( B.D Mongolian) get away with it . Larger surface ? Maybe it not called
stir fry. I've seen contest on food network in Hawaii (sushi?).

Google teppanyaki.

This seems to be closer to what I'm looking for. Thanks. How does this
differ from stir fry ?

I did a google on teppanyanki . This led me to Mongolian bbq , which
does use a griddle.

Teppenyaki is a large surface where the cook places foods out flat and
spatters sauces and herbs on it. In the process, teppanyaki restaurants
feature cooks who juggle, perform comic antics, and do other things to
entertain as they cook. Teppanyki is an experience.

I wouldn't know on that one, perhaps a culinary school or college. I'd
start off going for a dinner or two at some tappenyaki restaurants so
that you have an idea what the art is about. To be good at it, you have
to be able to cut food fast, keep things moving fast and smooth, be able
to juggle and at the same time cook some relatively simple dishes. The
art is more about entertaining, where the food is the focal component,
although the food network challenge recently aired shows there is some
level of culinary potential to be had.

If after seeing this, you feel you have what it takes to persue this art
form, then perhaps you could talk with some of said restaurants cooks
for recommendations and getting started.

Sorry I can't be of better assistance on this one.
