What is your favorite meal to cook in a Wok?

Question

I got my first Wok yesterday and I'm looking for ideas.

Answer 1

Stir fry anything. Always season the pan first. Heat wok and then oil and let the oil set in the wok.

Always start by rubbing a clove of garlic around the wok. Heat more oil and start with onion then add cut up veg. any type you like. Season to your liking. Salt, pepper, soy sauce, ginger, etc. If you want a sauce texture, through in a can of veg. broth thickened with about a tblsp of corn starch. Make sure the broth is cold and stir in the corn starch and then add to wok, stirring constantly until mixture thickens.

Do not over cook. Serve over rice.

Sliced Mushrooms , Onion, Minced Ginger and Garlic,

Marinated Tofu, Pineapple, Pea Pods and Red Bell Peppers and Tomato. Splash of Tamari and Mirin! or Ponzu Sauce.  Yum!

Answer 5

I make rice noodles with peanut sauce and tofu in a wok. It's easy to get the sauce on everything fast in a wok - rice noodles become gluey and gross if you overcook them so you have to work quickly.

I've also made potato dumplings (gnocchi) by boiling them in a pot and then transferring them into a wok to coat them in a mushroom and onion sauce.

I use a wok to cook down leafy greens too. I add some vegetable broth and scoop a few heaping handfuls of spinach, collard greens and kale in and sprinkle in seasonings and then cover it and it cooks down to a fraction of the size. It's easy to pile it on top of a veggie burger or stir it into something else, and I can get the equivalent of a big bowl of greens in just a few spoonfuls.

I've made "dirty rice" in a wok too. I had pre-cooked brown rice (I usually make some rice and keep it in a plastic container in the fridge for 2-3 days since I find a way to put it in everything). I tossed the rice in, added black beans and red kidney beans, spices and seasonings, onion and garlic, some veggies and then I sauteed it in the wok.

And of course, stir-fry.
