I got my wok spatula in today and felt like breaking it in!I tried my luck at general chicken tonight. It was much easier than I thought and very very good. It was the recipe that was on the forum a few days ago on the "Wok out" post. I posted a few pictures, so have a look. I would highly recommend this recipe!

Thank you Village Idiot! One question if I may..there is some gunk(almost like oil build up) at the top portion of my wok and I got one of those bamboo brushes you recommended. I scrubbed it and scrubbed it and it wont come off. ( I noticed how MM's wok looked very clean all over. It is almost like the upper portion of the wok is not seasoned or something. A few specks of "seasoned surface" are chipping off as well in one spot) It looked pretty good while i was frying the chicken but that sticky sauce is what i think stuck to it. And did it ever stick. Any Help?Maumelle, Arkansas

Randy, from time to time, I'll get a buildup like yours, and do the same thing you did. Then, after a few cooks later, it is gone. I wouldn't worry about it. Interesting that it is on the top portion of your wok. To me, that shows how swirling oil on a hot wok helps in making it nonstick. You probably didn't get the oil to the top (I don't either).Typically, all I use is one of those yellow/green sponges with hot water and it cleans up well. You might want to clean the wok right after you eat. Sometimes, I'll forget and leave it out by the Egg until the next day, and it seems harder to clean then.__________________________________________Dripping Springs, Texas.Just west of Austintatious

Hey all you wok'ers... do you use the wok ring to concentrate the heat up under the wok, or just place the wok directly on the grate?

No ring...and I used a spider to rest the wokMaumelle, Arkansas

When I wok on my Large, I use a spider.I don't have a spider for my medium, so I use a wok ring for stability and set it on the grid..__________________________________________Dripping Springs, Texas.Just west of Austintatious
