Wok Cooking: Asian Cooking with Martin Yan


If Yan can cook, so can you! With these helpful hints, from Martin Yan and Sunkist® citrus, you're on your way to mastering the satisfying art of healthy Asian cooking.

The Chinese Wok
Thousands of years ago, Chinese cooks figured out how to prepare healthy food quickly using a simple, versatile piece of equipment - the Chinese wok. You can use any large skillet for stir-frying, but inexpensive woks are readily available and ideally suited to the job. And with a wok, you can boil and steam, too.

How The Wok Works
One of the secrets to Asian cooking is heat. The wok's round-bottomed shape is designed to heat up quickly. Check out the Equipment and Tips and Techniques sections to learn more about choosing and using the Chinese wok.
