I was in a UK Chinese supermarket looking at the wide range of woks. Overwhelming selection. An elderly Chinese woman grabbed my hand "you won this won". Put my hand on the handle of a 14" flat bottom carbon steel. "And need this" (paraphrasing, her English was weak but better than my non-existant Cantonese, no insults intented), pointing at what was described as a wok turner, but Tak calls a wok spatula. Damn, she was right. I have never regretted those purchases and she disappeared as quickly as she'd arrived so I didn't really get to say thank you properly. Thank you random stranger.
I had a similar experience. There must be a wok spatula angel. LOL. I was looking for a new wok spatula in my favorite Asian store because the one I had originally purchased was too long for me. I kept picking up different ones and weighing them in my hand when a sweet little Asian granny came up to me and handed me a nice wok spatula and told me, "This one - It's very good." I thanked her and then she was gone. She was so right! It fits my hand perfectly and I couldn't imagine stir-frying without it. Maybe that sweet lady that helped you and me was a wok spatula angel! LOL

So sweet. The kindness of strangers ❤
Video made 11 days ago. The pan got so popular its price went up to £52 😢 if only i discovered this channel sooner
The wok is 2.368 kg.
Hmmm.... gotta get the weight right or you can't flip food. I hate using the spatula.
A ground meat chopper is easily found at Dollar Tree for $1.25!
