Got an early birthday gift from the wife.

Getting it seasoned.

Going to start trying some wok fun on the mini. Any links from those with wok cooks or food ideas are welcome.

It's the 10". Seems perfect for a family of 2.

@Village Idiot was the expert. My little finger tells me he may still be here under another alias...

That there is a good looking wok.

pgprescott · February 2017

Very nice! Have fun!

Just let those things warm up good. I let it sit in there while its getting up to temp, that way it sizzles once your good to go. Congrats and have fun! Also - I like the Pan Asian Market in OPKS for lots of sauces, spices and what not.

Nice, I'll check it out! I figured there was also somewhere down at the river market

vb4677 · February 2017

Yeah, that place always smells a little funky. PA in OPKS is more Americanized and has aisles for Chinese, Korean, Indian, Japanese, etc...

BUT

Now that I've wokked some -I'm looking to head back to the RiverMarket - now that I know of some things to look for.

Just make shît up

vb4677 · February 2017

Now, I don't have the Mini - but looking at your photos, I'd either remove the wok ring, or flip it over and get the wok down towards the coals... I use a CGS Spider and 16" wok in my LBGE and it's down into the Egg, with the handles jutting above the felt line.

Looks great.

What size diameter base (wok support) is that?

bgebrent · February 2017

Yum.

Yeah I eventually just moved my wok onto my Woo. Gets it down a few more inches.

@bhedges1987 what is the stand that you have for the wok?

I've only cooked one thing in the wok using the egg thus far, primarily due to the fact that wok-ing in the cold and rain isn't fun. But for Lunar New Year the weather was mild, so I made this, turned out really good:

Come the summer however, we'll be wok-ing outside. I adore Vietnamese caramel ginger chicken, for example.

Here's a post I did a while back that might interest you.
