Pan-Asian food is on our menu, but you will not find anything more appealing than modern sushi sticks in a modern housewife kitchen. And if you do find it, it is a walk on the dust off the shelf. In this Chinese frying pan, which is similar to a small pot, it often has the same fate.
This article will save your wok from the same fate.
In Asia itself it ripens in the oven
Walk is a staple of Chinese, Vietnamese, and Thai cuisine. Many traditional Asian dishes are prepared in this style: a variety of fried rice and noodles with meat and vegetables, pancakes, fennel, etc.
In Russia, Asian food lovers often buy walnuts to cook fried noodles twice in spicy soups. But they forget about him, believing that he is not a helper in their daily diet. And they are so wrong!
A wok can replace a regular frying pan, stew and pot. It is easy to cook boiled vegetables or meat, soups, stews.
Walk is of two kinds.
- Classic Chinese stainless steel, with conical and thin rounded walls.
- Below is a list of European family for gas and induction cookers. It can be cast iron, aluminum, ceramic, with a non-stick coating.
Useful features of any wok
- Cooking speed. Cooking in it takes a maximum of 15 minutes.
- Healthy food. The ingredients are fried for 1-3 minutes and do not lose their useful and nutritional properties.
- No excess fat. When cooked over high heat, add one tablespoon of oil to the wick, and sometimes you can simmer.
How to choose a universal walk
For the right cooking, choose a classic wick under the knee and thin walls, light weight and long handle. In addition to it, you will need to purchase a special stop for a round bottom to put it on the stove.
For a traditional and comfortable combination, choose a European wok with a small flat bottom – convenient to place on any stove.
