A Wok is what you need

In any Chinese kitchen you will find a wok - the most simple and important tool used in Chinese cooking. It is a very functional all-round cooking utensil that can replace a dozen pots and pans. Almost any cooking method can be done in a wok from stir-frying, pan-frying, deep frying, blanching, braising and even steaming.

Woks come in a wide range of sizes and materials. If you are a total novice in the kitchen, maybe buy one with a non-stick surface. The traditional round-bottomed woks can be used with a ring stand that sits on a gas burner (ask your local supplier).
