1. Maintain wok in season, and clean and sanitary with a little "wok hei".  


2. Stay safe by using Foundry gloves.

Wok chicken finishing with Bachan's teriyaki and Lingham's chile sauce.  

Serve with steamed broccoli and brown rice.  


burn everything clean and sanitary in residual fire.  

Repeat.

Tip:  

Use the leftover peanut oil from last weeks chicken fried steak.  
That sat outside in 90F+ heat for a week...  but don't tell your family.

hard to go wrong with flesh, rice, and broccoli.

I might have tossed in some minced garlic with the rice.

I set my wok directly on the coals.  It gets red hot real fast.

I gotta question taking oil that's had meat fried in it and letting it sit outside of the fridge like that.  Maybe just making french fries in it might be OK, but not meat.

Or in my home.  I used to keep frying oil in the fridge after I'd do wings, but then I figure the cost savings was not worth the potential ER trip.

Other than that, a hot coal fire is about as close as one can get to restaurant-hot woks...unless you get one of those propane fire rings with 50 jets.

There's no limit to how old oil can get even when cooking meat.  A famous southern restaurant that deep fries burger patties in oil swears a fraction of their oil is from the '20s and they keep using it.  No bacteria lives past 160F let alone the 375F I was cooking everything at.  I'm sure the fried chicken joints reuse their oil who knows how many times and don't refrigerate it.

Oil breaks down with heat.  As it breaks down its smoke point drops.

I learned the most important thing about wok cooking is heat!!!
To add to that, never overcrowd the wok or instead of cooking you’ll be steaming and the end result will not be the best.

I admit that I really didn’t do much wokking there… as I just did some chicken and threw teriyaki sauce on it.  I was just making something quick and simple that the family will eat.  Another day I’ll prep the veggies and do it real.  But that’s my set up.  The stainless prep table is nice. And my homemade Dutch Oven stand.

Is the wok being operated on a charcoal chimney?

What oil are you seasoning with?

I used to cut potatoes into big chunks and throw them in the oil to absorb the bad flavors when I'd finish frying chicken (and then toss them.)  If I deep fried Chinese foods (won tons, egg rolls, etc) I would throw in scallions to fragrance the oil.  Then I'd let it cool & put in the fridge.

Craft wok one is the one with the wood handle. The one with the metal handle is a wok shop but they are lying about the thickness. They said it was 14 gauge but the 15 gauge craft wok is definitely more rigid.

The wok shop was highly “recommended” but i think they’re lying. I’ll mic it tomorrow and verify.

It was just celery, julienned carrots from the produce section, onions, green onions, and sliced water chestnuts. Beef/chicken. Thrown together with some fresh(ish) packaged chowmein noodles and the house of tsang classic stirfry sauce. And then nuked in the wok.

There was no recipe. I’m not very sophisticated. I just throw a bunch of shit together. Sometimes it’s good sometimes its meh.

It looks good. Can you make it with EVOO or light olive oil, or is there no substitute for peanut oil?

I don’t cook on my charcoal starter (chimney). I’m just baking on some seasoning there.  I use peanut oil cuz high smoke/flash point.  

My wok is a Peking or northern style wok from the Wok Shop.

Carbon steel wok, propane jet burner, some protein, vegetable, starch, sauce, high temp oil.

Delicious food every time.

(Sauce must include fermented something that smells like death for flavor)

Dyer's in Memphis. When they moved from the original location in the 80s, to the new location, the grease went in a limo with several shotgun carrying cops riding with it, and a police escort. MPD motorcycles and squad cars all escorting it.

That grease is very special! I grew up a few block from it and ate there many times. I was friends with the founders grandkids. It used to be the best burger around.
