After seeing Robert tx smoker tx smoker Asian dish I knew I needed to break out the wok. A wok I haven't seen in about 5 years. We packed just about everything in the kitchen when I started the gut. And remodel of the kitchen. After almost 2 hours. I finally found the darned thing!
This is the best wok I've owned. It's heavy. But the CI keeps a nice even temp.

Put in bowl. And placed in oven to keep warm.
For the pork. I used Wegmans brand Schezuan sauce. For me. It has the right blend of flavor and heat.

1.5 Pounds of pork. I used pork chops so there was some fat.

Cooked the pork with a TBS of sesame oil to 145 IT. And added:
2 cans straw mushrooms drained and rinsed.
1 small can drained and rinsed diced water chestnuts.
Green onions. Didn't measure.
1 bottle of Schezuan sauce.

Delicious meal with the right hit of heat and flavor.

Yes sir!! That definitely looks great! And that wok, I didn't know that Lodge made them. That thing has got to Weigh a ton...

Thanks Charles! Yeah, it is a tad heavy just under 10 pounds.

Mmm! I would take a plate of that. Robert got me hungry for Asian also. Have some hunan beef planned.
Thanks Brian! Hunan beef is also very good.
 
That wok is one serious piece of equipment buddy and that is one seriously fantastic looking meal. Beautiful job my friend.

Oh that looks fantastic and that Wegman’s szechuan sauce is good stuff!

That’s a pretty serious wok you got there! That would crack my glass cooktop for sure! Maybe I should convert to gas before they ban them :emoji_laughing:

Thank you Joe! I don't think I'd use that on a glass cooktop!
 
Looks real good to me! I may just have to try one of those cast iron woks. I've always used a $9 carbon steel one from a restaurant supply store....
I do have a glass top, but I would honestly be surprised if you could hurt it short of really banging that pan around.... I've used a heavy Le Cruset dutch oven for years without issue
