Amazing Chef Vong! Your experience and wisdom shine through during this video!
Rubbish is a bit harsh. That is the point and only reason to season the wok. To burn off anything that can be burnt off so that when you cook, it does not become part of the ingredient.
"Season" is a British word use for this treatment of a new wok. We Chinese call it "burn " wok. It really is that simple. You can walk into any Chinese take away / restaurant and ask them. THIS IS HOW IT IS DONE.!
Still appreciate the feedback.
No entiendo tu idioma quisiera saber lo que explicas
I ‘d like to buy this kind of pan. How to make an oder.
Dice q lo quemes bien a fuego alto para q queme los aceites toxicos de fabrica y pueda ser usado para preparar comida
. Despues lo lavas con agua a fuego alto y ya . Le hecha aceite y a cocinar. Nunca lo lavan con jabon solo agua.
Every new wok needs to be seasoned otherwise there are nasty taste when you are cooking. Do it all the time.
Best lesson on wok seasoning! Thank you...I did it! :)
I've been waiting for a video on how to season a wok! Thank you so much!
Love your vids....Please keep them coming and explain everything that you're doing in the video. As always, Great job
Thanks for this video! My husband and I just bought a wok and were not sure if we were doing this right.
Ok step one when cooking with a wok, buy and F22 Raptor Engine.
😂😂😂
🤣 yeah ,, thrust vectoring engine
was hesitant to buy a wok because of the "burning process..."but with your video it made me think it's easy!
We need more video's from you I'm learning so much
The wok was only $20 but I had to spend another $7500 to get this setup to season it.
if you frequent a chinese restaurant, and are friendly with the front staff, im sure you could bring it up in conversation and maybe even ask if they would season it for you.
I did seasoned many of my carbon steel pans with my home stove.
It's just need more time since the fire isn't came out from the core of the earth like in this vid
Find a friend or relative that does turkey frying or beer brewing or does "cowboy wok" cooking with a discada wok. They will have a high pressure gas burner that goes up to 100K/200K+ BTUs and that is what you need to blue carbon steel like this guy is doing.
I use an 80K BTU propane fryer burner. They are cheap..About $40 at Walmart. I can only use it outside but it is well worth it. I use that for cooking, but I regularly blast the seasoning off and re-season.I tend to cook with the fire pretty wide open like this guy...And yes, it does sound like a JET ENGINE!
that's fuckin crazy man, how do you keep your sack cool? Being so close to that size flame must have em sagging like bowling balls in a mesh ball bag
Vong, some people are just overly critical on the internet, take it with a pinch of salt.
Keep uploading videos like you already are of how you do things your way, and how many other chinese takeaway chefs do things, that's why we watch your videos as it's a true insight into what you do.
Step 1 : get a jet engine.
yes bro
You can do it on a charcoal chimney.
hasnul hafizi Haha 😂😂🤣🤣
Using after burner
Funny comment
deep base is better for home cooking, it's more versatile.
Amazing! I have a inexpensive wok, and everything you did to season your wok, the instructions for my cheap wok suggests the very opposite. You're so experinced in using woks that the manufacturer may not even know their own product! You did a really good job! Thanks for sharing!
Kathi Shields You' welcome Kathi.. please share it:)
Thank you for sharing because I am going to buy my new wok. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Great vid! Love how u make all things so simple. It takes a lot of practice to fully master the wok but anyone who keeps at it can. I would like to request that u speak a little louder bc the stove & fan is quite loud. And if u could please tell us the names of each ingrediant so we can learn. So far, ur the best on YT! Please keep making more vids when u have spare time. Good day, mate!
This dude has a set of skills . a ninja 🔥🔥🔥 in the kitchen 😁 can we please send our woks to you sir 👍
I bought them at See Woo in London. Ladle also.
,I love cooking Chinese way ( my dad is Chines,,but he pass away ,,,) I has been looking for this wok ,,I wish I have one ,,Thanks s lot for sharing ,,👍👍👍
hi chef vong i agree with leecodes u dont have to explain to someone .we are all lucky that u are prepared to share your knowedge with us
Hi Khoan ! Love your videos as it has taught me a lot on Chinese cooking. I try to mimic my dads cooking from when he owned his Chinese restaurant. I had a question as I keep asking my parents and they too old to know where now lol, but what kind of wok would you recommend for home? Where can I get one? All I know is to get carbon steel but I haven’t had luck finding it.
By any chance , do you know how to make a great (trying to mimic Cantonese) “SAUNG LOT JHIEW” from the dim sum restaurants ? My mom says it’s just soy sauce and jalapeños with maybe some added water but I feel like it’s missing something . Thanks so much !
hi again chef i hope u are enjoying the chinese new year..i have a question for u about my wok ..before i seen your video i seasond my wok in a different way and have problems ...i use a scoop lile u do to cook with but the seasning scratches off...is there any way i can recover my wok or should i just get a new one and season like u do in your video..? thank u
Thanks!
I love your wok.
I really appreciate how simple and straightforward this video was. I'm saving to buy a wok and this made me worry less about the seasoning process.
Are wok's usually expensive?
@@meatloaf6107 when you got other things and people trying to spend your money, yes!
@@ThrizylNandoo sorry, I didn't mean to pry or anything. I genuinely don't have any idea about any kitchen related equipments, hence that ignorant sounding question.
@@meatloaf6107 they are cheap as compared to other kitchen things. I bought one on Friday so I'm looking forward to using it.
Post a vid of your first stir fry.
I saw some video on youtube did the same like your technique but after they added the think layer of oil and keep the gas on low for 20 mins until the inside wok went dark brown (they call it "patina").What do you think of it ?
we dont have super high heat at home like that.. but i ove that heat !!!
Tqvm.good idea
o.k thank u chef....doing it now.
The video demo. is how all Chinese chef does it in a commercial kitchen. That is all There is to it. Maybe "season" is a misused word in this case. We Chinese call it ·" 烧锅 " Shao Guo. That is literally translate as burn wok. This is how to prepare a new wok. When a wok has been in prolong used the same technique can be apply. It cleanse the wok out. That is when the wok is at its best.
Great video...
excellent instructions
+Rick Wong Thanks Rick
London..See Woo Chinese supermarket. Unless you have a ring round your cooker, it's not suitable for you. The base is round. On normal cooker you may need a flat base wok.
Khoan, I had been watching your cooking show and had been enjoying very much, much to my desire to learn how to make and cook authentic Chinese cuisines. You seemed to do all your techniques in a very efficient and easy ways in which I am interested. My TH-cam TV is on everyday 24 hours watching your shows over and over. Appreciate all your HARD work and love for your fans. Keep up the GREAT work you do...The world is never the same.......watch out Chinese restaurants!!! (-!
+Carolyn M Thanks Carolyn :) I love making videos to share me experience and I am happy you guys find it useful.
But I have been too busy to make any new uploads recently. Haven't even the time to log on; that's why my replies to comments are a bit late.
Hopefull when thiongs settle down a bit I can make some more videos:)
You are very welcome!!! May you and your family be BLESS more with great health, happiness, and prosperity!
Imagine not knowing all these, cooking on your newly purchased wok...
This is a must-do.
excellent more vids please x
coool....that is impressive
I like my woks well-done
Hi khoan, could you please tell me where I can get the wok you use and also your ladle... I have your book by the way... Good job..
do you burn the factory oil off??
I bought a wok, i believe it was the Town Mandarin style one, that was already very dark in color before i bought it. It isn’t cast iron because it is very thin. Is this maybe carbon steel that was “burned in” at the factory, or is it a different material, perhaps?
That's some bad-ass wok seasoning and cooking! And what a stove...what kinda burner you got in there...a jet engine?
I need one of those in my kitchen.
I use a brewers propane burner on my porch for wok cooking, which is most of my cooking. They're fairly affordable, under $100. With a wok ring ($10) you get basically the same results as a professional kitchen. Also good for brewing beer, lol
CNG
Sheffield Lane Also for moonshine
Thanks for sharing
Love watching
Thanks for watching!
Ive just bought a hancock wok 12inch flat bottom can i season it on a ceramic cooker loving your videos keep up the good work.
Barry Higgins Yeah, just take long.
Thanks for your replay. my local chinese takeaway seasoned it for me now cooking some off your recipe's and there lovely keep the videos coming.
Bazza H very smart idea.
What is the depth of a shallow wok like your.? how many inches perpendicular from the top?
Thanks
Hi, what size is the cooker ring. cheers.
Hi..I really like you wok! I just bought one but I didn't like it. Where do you buy you wok?
Where can I get the type of shallow wok you are using?
Thanks
See the fire? Of course you do. Now understand that because we don't have this level of fire at home, we will never be able to cook the way this man does every day. We might get close, but it'll never be the same.
I will be purchasing a new wok.
This man cooks an entire dish including burning in the wok in which the dish is prepared in less time than it takes me to think about what I want to and what I can prepare...
I always wanted to cook with the wok.
Thank you. I learned that I need a bigger stove and big, big fire...lol. No really thanks. Very informative.
Quiero uno de esos wok😍😍
Home cooker don't have a ring so flat would be more appropriate.
Very healthy yum
hi chef vong. i took your advice..my woks fine no more scratces...hope u dont mind but i ll
También miro que tiran un montón de comida ALV, estoy viendo que necesito tener una antorcha industrial para poder curar un wok, buena info.
thank you
your putting my local out of business haha
Is it safe to have water all over the stove? Where can I order one like yours?
Ok sir
How deep is this Wok? from the top to the bottom how many Centimeter?
Thanks
Shit I've done mine wrong. I thought the black was seasoned. Had to give it a good scrub because it stuck. The black came off. Thought I ruined it. Still use it. Has a black band round half way up. Should I start again new or just get it burnt? Love your vids.
Brilliant
LMAO... this is my supper, done!
Now that it’s seasoned, how do you eat it?
I use my burner from my Turkey fryer to get the kind of temperature that they are using to season and cook with. I do it outside though not in my house!
I did an update of this video shedule for this weekend.
What wok brand is that?
what does seasoning a wok means? and why u do it?
If all I have is an electric coil stove at home, should I still try to burn off the coating on a flat bottom wok or just scrub it off as best I can.
+CojackM if you have a BBQ pit with external burner, that will work. You can also put it directly on the coals if natural pit, but not if got any protective handle on wok.
Thx now i can resell my mom wok to buy video games skins
It called hancock london wok
Wow! Nice! I just got a new wok and got it too hot and my oil burst into flames when I added the oil! I think I need training. Lol!
I am sure with practise you'll be cooking great stir fry in no time.
are you cleaning it with a steel wool? many videos use ginger and chives? or soft sponges
maybe, that kitchen flying, in mach 3. PShuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu~ 🚀
I would really love to hear the recipe for your "supper" :)
I would love to know what you used as a spices ^_^
MSG is used in all take aways, you won't get that good taste without it. Theres nothing wrong with MSG. Unless you are allergic to MSG then there are no harmful side effects or any long term issues. Its pretty much like salt with the added kick, of course if you eat a shit load then it will be bad for you.
Hi Khoan.
I like your wok brush.
Could you tell me where I can buy it?
Thank you.
I made it with an old brush.
I took the stubs off , screw a hole in the middles and attached a metal scourer using a screw bolt.
will do Laszlo... like to learn about photography myself. you on google+ ?
Not many peeps have high-pressure gas burner/stove or have access to Chinese restaurant commercial burners. lol. So for most home cooks better to buy carbon steel preseasoned. Same steps as chef did except you don't have to burn off the coating. Already done for you.
sounds good
I saw those noodles sticking at the end!!!! You think you slick Mr. Vong😂😂😂😂😂
Glide Consulting I can tell you that he did not complete the process before cooking. That only half seasoned wok. The oil should have stayed longer in the wok.
Really, really embarrassing for him!
awesome
thanks
Khoan, I have a couple of questions - how much longer do you think this would take on a regular gas hob? I was thinking more than double the time yours took in the video, probably about 20/30 minutes. Do you think that's an overestimate or not?
And also, I was wondering if you could tell me if you used vegetable oil for seasoning and cooking at that temperature. Thanks man.
you need to heat it until it changes colour...so its not silver.
I always use vegetable oil.
Khoan Vong Cool, much appreciated.
que marca y donde comprar
Khoan, did you burn the wok first just to get rid of the coating?
yes, and kind of give a good clean, to make sure that anything shouldn't be on there is not.
What is your name wok brand bro.??
😍
Since most people don't have this level of fire on their home stoves, would you say it just takes more time, or are there other techniques for seasoning a wok at home or do I need to build a bonfire in my back yard?
otfresh Takes more time
Do like I just did, use a small propane blow torch to burn off the coating.
otfresh take it to you're local Chinese restaurant and ask them to do it...if you are a regular then I'm sure they will be happy to help you.
I took my wok to my local Chinese restaurant and they said leave to it with them and they will do it for me when they have time. The following day I went to pick up my wok and they were very good about it, they didn't even charge me. Talk to your local Chinese restaurant and see if they will do it for you.
Some are happy to do it because it's an artform
Hello my new friend. stay connected
Hi there, I'm in Toronto, where can I find the same wok like yours? Thank you!
I am in UK, so I wouldn't know.
besides, this wok is not on sell anymore in UK unfortunatley.
My wok is really, really black in colour... does that mean I'm a strong chef? When I season my woks I burn them like you until the colour turns and then I rub oil into it... Don't some woks also come with a packet of pork fat sometimes to do that with?
tatlented thanks
👍👍👍
Awesome! Do all woks need to be seasoned?
+Lord Byron yes, to clean it out.
only the iron wok
What is the diameter of the wok?
Hello from brisbane Khoan. Where is your shop? I am searching to season my wok, I have been worried about making it black, but your no?? The deep wok in the video was that done same way and turn black over time?
I am in HUll UK. yeah it turns black after few uses.
Could you do a video on how to clean the wok.
Do I need to? just washy with soap and heat dry.
Un favor y donde puedo comprar esas sartenes para chifa
