How to cook WOK at home

Wok is a traditional Asian dish known for its simplicity and incredible taste. Nowadays, wok has become a frequent guest on the table of many lovers of Asian cuisine. And while many people will prefer a restaurant wok, learning how to cook it at home is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance.

The secrets or tricks of cooking wok

• First of all, you will need a frying pan with deep sides. In professional kitchens, chefs use a special wok pan with a rounded bottom that allows you to quickly and evenly heat and cook food. You will also need a wooden or silicone spatula to stir the food in wok.
• Prepare all the necessary ingredients in advance, since wok itself is prepared very quickly, and put them within your arm’s reach, so that everything is “at hand” when you need it.
• The right cutting of products: small pieces, straws or bars – it all depends on the size and type of ingredients.
• The pan should be well-heated before you put the food in it. Do not reduce the heat while cooking.
• Follow the correct sequence of adding products to wok. Remember, the longer the ingredient is prepared, the earlier it needs to be placed in wok.
