Summary: I've finally learned the art of Wok cooking!
Review: It was my first experience with wok cooking recipies. I loved the idea of quick cooking very fresh ingredients at very high temperature. However, many household stoves may not be able to generate the necessary temperature to flash cook the recipies as intended. I solved the problem with a propane out door burner availble at many retail outlet and hardware stores. It generates the necessary heat and keeps the kithchen clean. With this equipment the recipies are fantastic. It is a true healthy and flavorful fusion cuisine.

Summary: Outrageously done on show plates, but are they really good?
Review: Put long, whole uncut string beans like snakes crawling inside your dish, and call it rainbow? Decorated a cooked dish with lot of small whole raw tomatos and jammed them among the cooked food? There is no way that I could accept such kind of gimmicky stuff and treated them as Chinese food. Putting raw stuff in or on a well cooked Chinese dish is just like turning it into something totally messed up. But I can understand that kind arrangements are just for photos in the book. Too gimmicky, man. And one more thing to remind: Never used too fancy, too complicated designed, and too colorful plates to hold the FOOD; as plates could only be used to make the food on them stand out, not bury them or block them with strong colors and patterns. Such disturbing distraction is the worst dream that any restaurant owner or chef would commit mindlessly.

Summary: This book will answer all wok questions.
Review: This is a basic teaching book on wok cooking. It outlines all the techniques and provides answers to any problems you have had when wok cooking. The book is based on thousands of wok cooking classes that I have taught during the last 25 years across the country. The book provides both traditional stir-fry classics such as Mu Shu Pork as well as contemporary ways to use the wok such as searing tuna briefly in a wok and then adding the hot tuna slices to a dinner salad. We show you how wok cooking is endlessly creative and how it really is a "clean out the refrigerator cuisine!" Hot Wok has many beautiful full-color photographs by my wife, Teri Sandison, who photographed the stir-fry dishes placed on serving plates made by many of America's top ceramic and glass artists. We hope you enjoy the book.

Review: When I used to wok, I could never get the sauces right. With this book, I've mastered them! I have tried at least a dozen of the recipes in the book and have yet to have a bad "wok" experience. The flavors of the sauces are wonderful and rich, and most of the recipes have basic ingredients that can be found in your local market. They are easy and fun.
