Thread of the day. Good thing it wasn't a wok throwdown.

I like it a lot.

This has inspired me to get a wok setup from CGS. I will start wok cooking again! I love good Mongolian beef and gave up making it at home. Never can get the flavor and textures right.

Well played, Mattman! My favorite wok meal is MB. It is one of 4 meals that I can pig out on until it's all gone! I do believe in moderation so that I can eat what I want when I want it, but these meals I ask my wife to watch me and take my fork away if I'm still speeding and no speed bump is in sight.LOL

I do the moderation thing too @rrp Most of my wok cooks are 2 servings intentionally because I would eat till it's gone. I've kinda been on a wok kick lately and really enjoying it.

Thanks for all the compliments guys.

@grege345 - that wok be an awesome idea for a wok throw down.

Alright dammit I'm gonna have to buy a wok and accessories.

I know you like the the zoodles but you are missing out if you haven't wokked em yet. Totally diff texture than sautéed.

And the wallet gets thinner. Woks not bad, but what do I need, a spider?

Mattman3969

Yep. I got the D handle wok from CGS and the Woo3 but I decided to cut the spider loose from the woo and it made using the wok much more enjoyable. I and thinking about getting a wok with a handle for the large. I have a flat bottom I use every once in a while on the small but I prefer the large for Wokking.

So why is there a 3 and a 5 prong spider? When I get a wok I'll just get one of those I presume, but an curious what the benefit is of each one?

Mattman3969

I think that has to do with the notches in the fire ring in your egg. If I recall correctly. If you give CGS a call they will help you get the right one for your egg.

Matt is right. The older fire rings had the 5 notches. New ones have 3.
