    thanks for telling us what oil you are using – no one ever does that.

    I didn’t see the blow torch coming …. 😂😂😂

  3. @timson3489 on February 10, 2025 at 6:56 pm

    baking soda or baking powder?

  4. @jamesmanulevu6074 on February 10, 2025 at 6:57 pm

    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. 😢

  5. @zergslayer69 on February 10, 2025 at 6:57 pm

    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?

  6. @xaza8uhitra4 on February 10, 2025 at 6:59 pm

    alright im SOLD, great video

  7. @leimaniax on February 10, 2025 at 7:01 pm

    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…

  9. @anthonyboomer641 on February 10, 2025 at 7:02 pm

    You can even ‘Bar BQ’ in a wok!

  10. @TomMartinek on February 10, 2025 at 7:02 pm

    "Everything is 30-45 minutes if you don’t know what you’re doing" 🤣🤣🤣

  11. @lobsang8405 on February 10, 2025 at 7:03 pm

    would you recommend induction wok portable for food trailer business . just for tossing fried rice ?

  12. @fangthedergon1863 on February 10, 2025 at 7:06 pm

    I have to get one of those pepper grinder you used that’s really cool

  13. @monkeyock4575 on February 10, 2025 at 7:08 pm

    That knife, the one you break down the chicken with…big final fantasy vibes there. Super cool!

  14. @MichalJuul on February 10, 2025 at 7:09 pm

    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

  15. @GurpreetSir-uo9uv on February 10, 2025 at 7:10 pm

    What about pure iron wok?

  16. @KishorTwist on February 10, 2025 at 7:10 pm

    I cook long pasta with it!

  17. @ntmituniverse5850 on February 10, 2025 at 7:11 pm

    Jon Kung, what brand of wok did you say you like best? What wok is in this video? Thanks

  18. @Alwaysthefourthofmay on February 10, 2025 at 7:11 pm

    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!

  19. @Laura-xy7td on February 10, 2025 at 7:13 pm

    That is a really good looking …… wok . 🤣 Great video

  20. @nourishedhuman on February 10, 2025 at 7:15 pm

    Please, please tell me the name of the knife you used to break down the chicken! Thanks for the great videos 👍🎉.

  21. @Lorv0 on February 10, 2025 at 7:15 pm

    Is that induction stove specially made for rounded wok?

  22. @hayanita on February 10, 2025 at 7:16 pm

    I’m in awe with your knife. Where can I get one like it?

  23. @Sokren817 on February 10, 2025 at 7:17 pm

    Where can we get that stove

  24. @THerd-um5tl on February 10, 2025 at 7:17 pm

    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!

  25. @graham5961 on February 10, 2025 at 7:19 pm

    is that a round induction stove for a wok!!? thats so cool i never seen that before man. wow

  26. @sabanarso on February 10, 2025 at 7:20 pm

    What spatula would you recommend for wok cooking?

  27. @rullysiswanto4583 on February 10, 2025 at 7:24 pm

    Yoshikawa, Yamada, Yosukata & Pearl life
    Which one the best ?

  28. @Cr0sswalk on February 10, 2025 at 7:26 pm

    Which one of the induction woks do you prefer. I def getting one. Great information well done videos

  29. @Ty_Guy3 on February 10, 2025 at 7:26 pm

    Do you still feel this way or should i get the oxenforge and never look back ?

  30. @Lightspeed-eo6nw on February 10, 2025 at 7:30 pm

    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 🙏🏼 ♥️

  31. @arevee9429 on February 10, 2025 at 7:32 pm

    Grandma, what a thick chicken-slicing knife you have! Impressive.

  32. @MichaelE.Douroux on February 10, 2025 at 7:33 pm

    Well done and very informative!

  33. @_blood_moon_proto_1500 on February 10, 2025 at 7:33 pm

    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)

  34. @aileetang731 on February 10, 2025 at 7:33 pm

    Waiting for our carbon steel wok to arrive. Your excellent video helps to educate me re wok usage, thank you !

  35. @megsbarretto on February 10, 2025 at 7:34 pm

    finallyyyy a reasonable hack AND proper demonstration on how to get wok hei at home 😩 thanks so much I’ve been wondering for years!

  36. @cristil9467 on February 10, 2025 at 7:36 pm

    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.

  37. @real_DrDummkopf on February 10, 2025 at 7:38 pm

  38. @elizabethheyenga9277 on February 10, 2025 at 7:40 pm

    Gassing your food not great or health!

  39. @johnlynn2484 on February 10, 2025 at 7:41 pm

    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!

  40. @FeistyST on February 10, 2025 at 7:41 pm

    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.

  41. @TheFreeSpiritKID on February 10, 2025 at 7:44 pm

    best tutorial ever. you’re an inspiration

  42. @JNinj on February 10, 2025 at 7:45 pm

    Thanks man! 😀 I obviously never cooked with a wok.

  43. @TheQuietRiot on February 10, 2025 at 7:45 pm

    You held my attention all the way through. Love all the little tips and tricks you threw in!

  44. @michasunafish4844 on February 10, 2025 at 7:47 pm

    I love the adult movie music in this vid.

  45. @rodericksibelius8472 on February 10, 2025 at 7:47 pm

    what kind of oils is used for his frying I wonder, it he uses VEGETABLE OILS???

  46. @MightyHex on February 10, 2025 at 7:47 pm

    Bruh, idc what you say, that chicken was not fully cooked 😂

  47. @tombucannon on February 10, 2025 at 7:49 pm

    Do u wash mushrooms? How do i clean em?

  48. @rfbooth on February 10, 2025 at 7:49 pm

    Four words for deep fry coating: wet hands, dry hand!

  49. @HiCy2012 on February 10, 2025 at 7:49 pm

    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.

  50. @josealvarado4305 on February 10, 2025 at 7:49 pm

    Do you recommend kitchen aid stainless steel wok ?
