First Egged Wok Cook

Jcacavias

Well, I don't have a spider, but I think I found a set up that works just as well.  Pulled the fire ring out and put the grate directly on the fire box after the lump was lit.  Then I put the ring that came with my wok on the grate and set the wok in that.  Cooked some fried rice and a ginger scallion chicken.  Results were pretty fantastic for the first time.  Definitely way more heat than the stovetop, the challenge is not getting it too hot.  I think by closing the bottom door all the way it helps a lot.  No in progress pics because everything happened so fast.  Maybe next one I'll put the wife on camera duty.

Nice looking meal there! How did you season the rice?

Jcacavias

@fence0407 I used a mixture of equal parts light soy and dark soy with a little sugar and white pepper.  Full recipe here: http://thewoksoflife.com/2015/10/classic-chicken-fried-rice/
