wok cooking

Wok cooking involves using a traditional round-bottomed pan called a wok, which facilitates even heat distribution and quick cooking. Typically cooked over high heat, ingredients are stir-fried to retain their texture, color, and flavor. The design allows for efficient tossing and flipping, ensuring all ingredients are cooked uniformly. Wok cooking emphasizes a balance of rapid searing, browning, and gentle simmering, making it ideal for preparing diverse dishes like stir-fries, sautés, and steaming. This method preserves the freshness and nutrients of ingredients while developing complex flavors through quick, high-temperature techniques.
