    I really love your videos and almost every one of it! This one is a bit different because I am Chinese and I can tell you some tricks that we do in stir fry. First, you need to have an appropriate turner, either wood or steel, it should fit the wok's contour and better not a spoonish one like yours. Next, we add more oil in the beginning and never add more in the middle. Basically, you pour the oil and rotate your pan to distribute. Oil should always be hot. And no wash or cleaning in the middle. Also, we do the thickening and salting at the very end to avoid both steaming and dehydration. To be more advanced, you can do tossing without the turner - toss with the pan only. If you can do this, you'll know why a wok is shaped like it is and why we can cook in no time.

      That's right, my mom and my sister always do that whenever they stir fry meat or vegetables, so the pan end up with a very watery dish!! And I don't think Thomas way here would fit them much!! They would probably yell at me when I try this way of stir fry!!

  • @mattclark8746
    @mattclark8746 Před 7 lety +1

    Great tutorial. Easy to follow. When I purchased my first carbon steel wok, I didn't realize how much goes into preparing and seasoning. You really need to heat that wok up until the metal becomes porous. Then add oil or lard, which fills in the holes and creates a non stick surface without crappy telfon or gimmicky ceramics. It takes a while to develop a good patina, but the more oil you use the better the wok. Be gentle cleaning so that surface is not scratched off.

    I feel like this is one of the simplest ways of cooking yet where most people drop the ball by almost always steaming their ingredients. Over crowding the wok is one of the most common errors also dropping ingredients in oil when its not hot enough.

    • @kylecronin8737
      @kylecronin8737 Před 7 lety +1

      Healthy Recipe Channel The other piece with the heat is not having a quality wok or pan. You can't feel comfortable heating a non-stick frying pan from Wal-Mart to the highest possible temperature. I did that when I first started cooking and the non-stick peeled off.

    LOL everyone's such a critic! Come on, people, he's giving suggestions from those who don't know how to do this for whatever reason. Never once did he say that he was making 'authentic Chinese cuisine' or whatnot -- just that he is making a stir fry. Chill.

    • @ChrisTopheRaz
      @ChrisTopheRaz Před 6 lety

      I will agree and thank you for pointing that out actually. The only thing he did say wrong is that high heat in a pan/wok is tested with water and the water will bead up immediately and roll around the pan with high heat. He says "sizzle off immediately," which indicates that it's medium to medium high heat. All professional chef's know this pan heat test. I thought he did too but apparently not.

    @maxyoung2307 Před 5 lety

    As an Asian who knows cooking, what he is doing is absolutely right. Domestic stoves don't produce that much heat, the reason that people constantly stiring and tossing is actually cooling down the wok. I've seen hundreds of Asians constantly flipping and tossing the pans when they cook on domestic stoves in order to show off their culinary skills, but you know what they end up cooking later on, a plate of stewed meat and steamed vegetables. And of course, they always tell CZcamsrs are doing stir frying wrong.

  • @sae4842
    @sae4842 Před 5 lety

    That's the technique I use when stir frying in a cast iron. I thought it was ok to put all the meat in the pan, but the pan cools down too much and too much water starts appearing. Take your time doing it in batches.

  • @Billythachikk
    @Billythachikk Před 6 lety

    It's funny, in Danish "wok" is actually the dish itself as well as the skillet. We don't have stir fry for dinner, we have wok for dinner. Weird how we borrowed one word and used it for multiple things.

  • @rbettsx
    @rbettsx Před 8 lety +6

    This is weird, to me. In the hard vegetable stages of a wok-cooked dish, I often WANT to steam while frying! I keep a pan of simmering water nearby, and whenever I think it's needed, throw in a splash or two, while everything keeps moving. Especially for things like broccoli, which are not nice, tough. Less oil, faster, more even cooking. There's no excess water left at the end...

    • @guguigugu
      @guguigugu Před 8 lety +1

      thats basically just sauteing. you are missing the point of a stir-fry. the searing and intense heat give a completely different flavour.

    • @rbettsx
      @rbettsx Před 8 lety +1

      +guguigugu well, it's not sautéed, coz of the water. But I will try it your way, with something just for myself, to see what it's like. In the end, someone has to show you how, don't they?

    • @ElinaYap97
      @ElinaYap97 Před 8 lety +1

      My mum uses water for stir frying too. Since broccolini is hard to cook (and most asians don't use them) she does boil them a little to soften so its easier to cook. For some veggies like cabbage she would wait for the veggies to give out water ^^

    I love stir frying, its fast and easy but the limited space you have in your wok limits how many people you can serve at once. So when I'm making food for a group of people this doesn't really work because I'd like to serve the entire group at once.
