Wok hei: why do stir-fry dishes taste better with the ‘breath of the wok’?

Add that breath to the demon slayer anime

Burnt oil is toxic and can cause cancer🤮

Someday❤

I have done this. It's not that hard as they are saying. And that's of no disrespect to the craft.

Breath of the wok first form

Using a blow torch at home can recreate some of that missing wok hei. Very interesting video.

not 100% correct, if its only heat, that means he could use any wok to achieve wok hey. try use other wok besides carbon steel.

The best restaurant name ever - Holly Fck.

But is it healthy?

Move wok over sink and toss food in wok, if spill out, food falls into sink, thus avoiding greasy mess and clean up effort on stove top.

❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

MashAllah great recipe 🤤😋😋👌👌

I could taste this video! Now I am STARVING... 😂👍🇭🇰

Is he talking in Cantonese? He sounds distinctly different than what I'm used to which I think is Mandarin, but what do I know LOL...

👏👏👏😃😃😃😃😃👍👍👍

sum ting wong and wee tou low restaurant opening soon

don't try this at home, kids🤣
btw saw chef zhang's video once, he used wok to bake duck, amazing tool

Mastering it requires lot of hard wok

In my humble opinion, 镬气should be translated as ‘aroma of the wok’ rather than ‘breath of the wok’ .

holefuk

This video has Disney vibes

Holyf*ck

CHINA WOK ? 해시계 VS 물시계 ? 혼천의 ? KOREA KING TREE ROOT ? ZERO ? 쯔양 뉴욕 스테이크 ? 오목 ? 火水木金土 ? 殺死 ? 科學

I have a wild guess Uncle Roger would love this weejo.

This is the type of content why I watch south china morning post.

Hei is the Cantonese pronunciation of the word 氣 (qi). Normally it does mean air, but I think in this context it means energy 💀💀

Thanks China for feeding the world! So many cultures has stolen your food. But respect to the Original! Never forget!

Still botw? Totk just released?!!!🫨🫨🫨

Yep, my dad said you will never be able to duplicate some chinese dishes at home because you wouldn't be able to achieve the heat required at home.

Sadly most people can't make Wok Hei at home simply because most don't have a super high BTU jet engine stove at home 😅

Legends have it that in ancient China, the Woks were cooked on stoves that were lit by dragon breath.

Imagine if your face was smashed into a hot wok. NO THANKS!

I hate woke so much it's unreal

Wok Hei is like western style smoked dishes.

Please Unban Uncle Roger

Ohhhh those sewer oils sure burns brighter.

Can you explain what is yeet hai.

HoLeeFok🤣🤣🤣🤣

I've been doing wok hei without knowing it for years. Just add some butter on water while frying

The Legend of Fried Rice, Breath of the Wok

the way she described it makes me wanna see an anime film of a Cantonese chef with all the dramatic and poetic moves she talked about like... wow. SHE needs to be a main character of an anime

Breath of the Wok, First Form: Shrimp Fried Rice.

Most important thing to remember about wok hei is no, you cannot create it in your home kitchen. Your burners need to be at least 10 times hotter to even begin to be considered enough for wok hei.

one thing to correct here is that Wok Hei is almost the golden standard for all Chinese fry dishes but not only limited to Cantonese cooking.

@uncle roger introduced me to Wok hei🙂

fried rice without wok taste different

Freaking delicious!!!

What is carcinogens?
