Wow stir fry is going to be a weekly thing, it was so easy and delicious.

Now I need noodle recommendations or any wok tips or tricks

    I hope you have a gas range, not electric.

    In China they do not hesitate to turn the gas up all the way. Blowtorch it.

    The real reason I quit using a wok is because it's 90% prep work. The actual cooking is fast and doesn't last long enough. I like to cook my food, leave it on for a while, come taste it, etc. With a wok you spend all your time chopping, putting the chopped bits in bowls, preparing teaspoons of spices in bowls, so that you can pour it all together without waiting, because if you wait you'll overcook the food. Plus instead of making a meat and a vegetable, you've got to make like 5-10 dishes depending on how many people you're cooking for. I gave it up.

      All valid points to consider. I’m only cooking for 2 and I already enjoy having everything prepped when cooking most things so that’s not a big deal for me.

      I fully agree sometimes is great to have that time to relax and have a drink while you smell your dinner cooking.
