University makes world's biggest stir-fry
Staff and students at the University of Massachusetts celebrated the start of the new semester by making the world's biggest stir-fry.
They also added capsicum, green beans, bok choy, peanuts, basil and garlic.
It was cooked in 23kg of canola oil.
Ken Toong, executive director of Auxiliary Enterprises at UMass-Amherst, says the purpose was to stress sustainability and promoting healthy eating. Many of the vegetables were grown at a student-run farm.
A Guinness Book of World Records representative was on hand to certify the record.
The previous record was 1050kg.
