thanks for telling us what oil you are using – no one ever does that.
I didn’t see the blow torch coming …. 😂😂😂
baking soda or baking powder?
2 questions…where did you get your pepper grinder? Also what type/style of cleaver did you use for the chicken? I’ve been trying to figure out the cleaver but haven’t found it. 😢
If the wok always has to be seasoned with oil after washing with soap, if you’re steaming, wouldn’t that get the bamboo steamer oily along the bottom edges? Or is it not necessary to oil the wok as long as it’s fully dry?
alright im SOLD, great video
Bro, what a great video. Thank you for sharing. Great info and care. Much appreciated
Glass will not explode if you treat it with sodium…
You can even ‘Bar BQ’ in a wok!
"Everything is 30-45 minutes if you don’t know what you’re doing" 🤣🤣🤣
would you recommend induction wok portable for food trailer business . just for tossing fried rice ?
I have to get one of those pepper grinder you used that’s really cool
That knife, the one you break down the chicken with…big final fantasy vibes there. Super cool!
I just found your channel and I think it’s absolutely fantastic.
I would really like this Nuwave Mosaic Induction Wok. But it only uses 120V and here in Denmark we have 230V
Do you know and can you recommend another electric Induction Wok?
A site called maxima has a wok called Professional induction wok – 3500W – Maxima
Do you think it’s a good choice?
And then use a Carbon Steel Wok with it
What about pure iron wok?
I cook long pasta with it!
Jon Kung, what brand of wok did you say you like best? What wok is in this video? Thanks
I think Adexa or Chef King should give you one of their 3000 watt induction wok units, and see if you can get that wok hei thing going on. And help us all decide whether it is actually hotter at double the wattage of the Nuwave unit, or just quicker to heat up. Would love your thoughts!
That is a really good looking …… wok . 🤣 Great video
Please, please tell me the name of the knife you used to break down the chicken! Thanks for the great videos 👍🎉.
Is that induction stove specially made for rounded wok?
I’m in awe with your knife. Where can I get one like it?
Where can we get that stove
Don’t change a thing about the way you’re doing this channel. This video is perfect. I especially enjoy the self-deprecating humor. Just subscribed and can’t wait to dig through your other videos. Also, just purchased the NuWav Induction Wok. THANK YOU for making videos that don’t suck!
is that a round induction stove for a wok!!? thats so cool i never seen that before man. wow
What spatula would you recommend for wok cooking?
Yoshikawa, Yamada, Yosukata & Pearl life
Which one the best ?
Which one of the induction woks do you prefer. I def getting one. Great information well done videos
Do you still feel this way or should i get the oxenforge and never look back ?
I got an Oxenforge and an Abangdun induction burner on your call. Very good advice, it gives enough heat to give you a gentle Wok Hei. I’ve used my Big Green Egg and lump charcoal at wide open, so the closest to one of the propane jet engine cookers. The BGE actually heats enough for a strong Wok Hei Flavour. It’s just ridiculously hot to cook over, the cook cooks just as much as the dish. You’ve raised my Chinese home cooking to what my wife calls “ridiculous” levels, thank you 🙏🏼 ♥️
Grandma, what a thick chicken-slicing knife you have! Impressive.
Well done and very informative!
i just got my first carbon steel wok, i love it, its a tad awkward to clean with salt but its great (i clean it like of one of my great great grandparents who used to clean it with salt then wipe down with oil)
Waiting for our carbon steel wok to arrive. Your excellent video helps to educate me re wok usage, thank you !
finallyyyy a reasonable hack AND proper demonstration on how to get wok hei at home 😩 thanks so much I’ve been wondering for years!
Can you give a link to that pepper grinder you used in the scrambled eggs ? I haven’t seen that type of grinder before, I’m curious what you can use it for.
Instant subcribe
Gassing your food not great or health!
I just purchased my first wok. Thank you for a wonderful video! Just like the previous comment, I watched the entire video.Thank you so very much!
I just got a wok. It is carbon steel but it’s non stick I should’ve watched this video first. Was just a thought that popped in my head. I’m by no means a cook but I love to try. I guess I’ll try my non stick and see how it works for a little bit.
best tutorial ever. you’re an inspiration
Thanks man! 😀 I obviously never cooked with a wok.
You held my attention all the way through. Love all the little tips and tricks you threw in!
I love the adult movie music in this vid.
what kind of oils is used for his frying I wonder, it he uses VEGETABLE OILS???
Bruh, idc what you say, that chicken was not fully cooked 😂
Do u wash mushrooms? How do i clean em?
Four words for deep fry coating: wet hands, dry hand!
Thank you for demonstrating the method to use this induction wok burner. I got it for a friend with an electric kitchen. And I cannot demo too much because I’m nervous of using carbon steel wok for veggies. Your video helps me to get some idea how to control it.
Also your pronunciation is not bad for Hong 2 shao1 rou4, red braised pork.
Do you recommend kitchen aid stainless steel wok ?
