Wok Buying, Seasoning, and Maintenance: Tips for Choosing and Using a New Wok | Chinese Cooking Demystified

Woks are something that have an almost mystical quality about them. Should you buy a round bottom or flat bottom? Carbon steel, stainless steel, or non-stick? How big should it be? What's this whole seasoning business, and can you use detergent to wash it?

Woks are a kitchen tool like any other. While we have our preferred wok, you actually have more leeway in choosing a wok than many people often admit!

ABOUT US
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Learn how to cook real deal, authentic Chinese food! We post recipes every Tuesday (unless we happen to be travelling) :)

We're Steph and Chris - a food-obsessed couple that lives in Shenzhen, China. Steph is from Guangzhou and loves cooking food from throughout China - you'll usually be watching her behind the wok. Chris is a long-term expat from America that's been living in China and loving it for the last nine years - you'll be listening to his explanations and recipe details, and doing some cooking at times as well.

This channel is all about learning how to cook the same taste that you'd get in China. Our goal for each video is to give you a recipe that would at least get you close to what's made by some of our favorite restaurants here. Because of that, our recipes are no-holds-barred Chinese when it comes to style and ingredients - but feel free to ask for tips about adaptations and sourcing too!
