If you’ve never used a wok, you don’t know what you’re missing. Cooking with a wok is often a healthy stir-fry alternative to more traditional means of food preparation. A wok is like a flat bowl that you heat on the stove or on it’s own burner. Throw in a bit of flavored oil and then all of your favorite ingredients. Toss the ingredients while they cook in the wok, and soon you’ll have a yummy meal ready to go.
Learning to use a wok is straightforward if you know how to use a skillet. Of course you should always be safe in the kitchen and be especially carefully with the wok as the pan gets extremely hot. A spatula or slotted spoon should help you handle your wok creations and an apron will help keep you clean while you toss and turn your food.
Woks originate from Asia where they have been used for centuries. You have many options when cooking food in a wok, however. Don’t be fooled into thinking you can only cook Asian food in an Asian wok. In reality you can cook anything in a wok that you can cook in a frying pan or skillet – so long as it doesn’t have to be totally flat. For examples, pancakes in a wok are probably not the greatest ides, but cut new potatoes would be a yummy wok treat.
