What Chinese Cooking Technique Is This?? - Blanche then Fry

Help me out here YouTube - I have no idea either. Just came across it and I think I like this a lot.

I've seen this described as just "stir-frying", but that doesn't tie with how most people use the term. My family will blache vegetables briefly in broth and serve; or they'll fry in oil and serve. I have not seen both done to cook a single dish.

In this technique, you briefly blanche greens until they turn color but are still crispy, then fry in oil briefly. Takes almost no time, but needs two hot pans - one with boiling water, one with oil.
