Saute is often confused with stew, but its fundamental difference is that the ingredients are not mixed with each other, but are prepared separately. In addition, in the authentic recipe they cannot be stirred with a spatula - only tossed. It is believed that this cooking technology helps preserve the integrity of the ingredients, while the finished dish looks neater and more aesthetically pleasing. Traditionally, sauté is stewed on the stove in a deep bowl.
