Wok Recipes

The king of stir-fry. 2,000 years of cooking wisdom in one pan.

A wok's round shape creates a gradient of temperatures — searing hot at the center, cooler on the sides. This lets you move food between heat zones for perfect stir-frying. The high sides prevent spillage and the shape uses less oil than a flat pan.

Pro Tips

•Heat the wok until it's smoking before adding oil — this prevents sticking
•Cook in small batches to maintain high heat (wok hei)
•Have all ingredients prepped and within arm's reach before you start
•Add aromatics (garlic, ginger) early for 10-15 seconds, then add proteins
•Toss with a scooping-and-flipping motion, not stirring in circles

Care & Maintenance

✓Wash with hot water and a bamboo brush (no soap on carbon steel)
✓Dry over heat immediately to prevent rust
✓Season new woks by heating with oil until surface darkens
✓The black patina is flavor — never scrub it off
