    My grandmother cooked for a living and started teaching my sister, brother and myself how to cook while we were in elementary school. While I was in the Army I picked up a few things. During my tours in South Korea I really picked up things mostly from watching cooks in restaurants and street vendors. In 1991 I went to truck driving school in another state and found out that I had to provide my own food for breakfast and dinner. They provided lunch. I went to WalMart to get something to cook with and ended up with a wok and a chef's knife 🔪. The first time I took it to the dorm's kitchen I was surprised at the reactions of some of the other students. "What is that?" "What do you do with that?" I couldn't believe so many had never seen a wok of any kind before. Yes, I got a good laugh and then started to educate them. They were actually interested. I showed them how to stir fry, steam, deep fry, make soup using the wok. At least once a week somebody wanted to borrow it to fry chicken or pork chops but that was too much deep fried food for me. With what I ate and the way I cooked I managed to drop at least ten pounds in the ten weeks I was there. I need to go get it from my sister because she doesn't use it and it probably hasn't been used since before our mother died in 2011. I'll just hang it next to the one my wife and I have now.

      Thanks for your good story about living life and cooking. Yes, do go get that wok -- where it doesn't get lost. Then, you can keep it and remember the "easy & fun days" back, before life got complicated.

      My search of whats that smokey burned flavor but not burned food. Ive been wondering whats that flavor everytime I eat fried rice. I even bought smokey flavor seasoning to see if thats it. Then finally after watching so many fried rice cooking. ITS all about the Wok!

    • @donotneed2250
      @donotneed2250 2 года назад +5

      @@mokong214, and don't forget the sesame oil. It doesn't take much. Bok choi is also a good thing to stir-fry. Try it with chicken and carrots and maybe mushrooms in the mix. I also try different sauce combinations like 2 Tablespoons soy sauce with 1 Tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar and 2 Tablespoons honey. Whatever herbs, spices you put on the meat put in that. I generally mix it up in a bowl first and then put it in the pan. Remember, you can use the same basic ingredients and change the meat and get different flavors.

    I love the wok but I still kind of use it like an ordinary skillet. This video is pretty helpful in helping me understand how they do it at the wok restaurants. I do think the wok is superior even if you use it as a skillet, but I want to do it properly for a change. Too bad I don't live in London because I'd love to get a workshop lesson from this guy.

      +Misisipi Mike CAST iron ???? CASTING is when you take a molten LIQUID metal and pour it on a CAST molding to cool and harden. This is made from a cut sheet metal pressed in to shape. And why do you keep adding little bit and little bit more oil, until you are SATURATING everything to sogginess? All you are doing by adding too much oil is lowering the wok temp so that you CAN NOT get any searing burn mark for that smoky taste. NOT a good teacher.

    • @justmey7412
      @justmey7412 8 лет назад +3

      You're right. it IS carbon steel he's using (and describing).
      On the rest of your comment: Why would his dishes be soggy? From what i see in the vid, he's using a total of something between 1 and 2 tablespoons of oil in the entire dish which seems quite reasonable to me.
      Before adding the oil he pushes the previous ingredients to the side and pre-heats the oil before adding the fresh ingredients so why would this lower the temperature?
      Despite repeating yourself, your arguments don't seem all that convincing... Perhaps you should upload your favourite method and show the world how it's done the right way?

    • @andrewjackson7476
      @andrewjackson7476 8 лет назад +1

      Just Mey Are you Deaf, Dumb AND BLIND? Can't you see with your own EYEs that it's soggy? Do you REALLY need someone to make a Culinary Video Production, to show you how not to sogg up your ingredient? Instead of adding ever more and more oil, how about adding alot in the beginning with Chicken first (Cuz he says that the Chicken is the one that needs through cooking), then Max Heat and toss other ingridents, while oil level goes down (with every ingr) and surface heat up up HOT1!! to sear? Do you really need people to make video of how to ride bicycle STRAIGHT to demonstrate? Are you DEAF dumb and Blind?

I had to constantly cook every ingredient separately, becuz the sticky sauce with coat the wok instead of the food and cut off the circulation. I worried about overcooking or undercooking each ingredient. Now ik for sure when the chicken is done.😊
