Chef 101 Humpday: I got my Wok-On!

May 18, 2011 by evebushman

We haven’t used a wok since our old kitchen in our old house because we had an electric stove in the new one.  (And, to clarify, that “we” was just Eddie over our old gas stove.)  I never could figure out how he did it.  But, with my NEW gas stove, and my NEW wok, I was finally ready to find out!

So, I was searching for low-fat recipes when ones that called for a wok came up.  Eddie, always there to stroke my newbie-chef-desires, agreed, yes, it was time to buy a wok!

This recipe below looked fairly easy, and light, and yes, I made Eddie stand nearby in case of a mishap, was pretty good.  My only issues were: 1. I had 2 pounds of chicken as I couldn’t find 1 pound packages.  Err…now I know to divide what I buy.   2. I didn’t know why some of the ingredients (the cornstarch and soy sauce) were repeated in the recipe until I read the directions about 3 more times.   And 3.  By using “high heat” how long until I torch my new (Thank you Ann!) apron!  Yikes!
