I broke in the new Disk Wok with lots of Qview.

[rbranstner]

Well I finally got to break in my new Disk Wok that my wife gave me for an early birthday present. The two of us went pan-fishing on Saturday and caught  a mess of fish to fry for her mom and dad on Sunday for mothers day. I was trying to season in the Wok and I read that frying fish can be a good way to help season it. The wok fried the fish very fast and I was very happy  with how it ran. It nice not having to  use  as much grease as I normally do in my fish fryer.

Here are the fish all breaded and ready for the fryer.

Frying away in the Wok.

The mother-in-law got me with the camera.

And tonight I broke the Wok out again and made some chicken/pulled pork fried rice. I love fried rice and this stuff was really good but it's still missing something. I  basically used rice, chicken marinaded in Yoshida's Sweet Teriyaki, some left over pulled pork, onion, peas & carrots, (forgot the onion), eggs, a little soy and some oyster sauce. I added a little extra Yoshida's on my plate while I was eating as it just isn't quite like my favorite Chinese joint. Any suggestions?

All of my ingredients.

Just added the egg.

Veggies going  on.

And the meat going back on.

And here is my plate.

I can already tell that I am going to love cooking on this thing. I just need to fine some more good recipes  to try. I have  a few lined up. Thanks for looking.

Very nice!!!

 

[jefflisa828]

happy birthday and food looks great all that was missing from you rice imo is ground ginger but some like it some don't looks good though 

 

[smokinstevo27]

Hmm, an elusive ingredient. I know salt is obvious but I bet that yours had nowhere near the salt content that would be common for chinese joints. Anyway, it all looks good brother. Thats a great gift.

Looks good from here?  That is an interesting toy.  I think it would be great for hunting/fishing/camping trips?  Enjoy!

Good luck and good smoking!

That wok is really cool Ross. That's something we could really get a lot of use out of around here. We cook with a regular wok all the time, but it's hard to get the temp up really high like you can.

Try using some chopped green onions added a couple of minutes before serving. Adds a great flavor and color.

Yum, fried panfish! Looks great Ross, you are going to have some fun with that thing. I like the fact that it's extremely portable.

Like Steve said the missing ingredient is probably salt or MSG which may be why you aren't getting the same flavor you are looking for. Yours is probably better for you health wise.

I had the same "whats that taste" issue when making fried rice.

Using some sesame oil made it better, but not quite there.

Try a bit of oyster sauce

 

[sqwib]

Looking good Ross

Try some Hoisin or Oyster Sauce

 

[alelover]

Looks awesome Ross and Happy B-Day. I think you said it when you were wondering what was missing in your rice. ONIONS. Some sesame oil too would help.

Ross that is a great start with the wok. I know you are going to have a lot of fun it
