Mattman3969
Posts: 10,458
3rd cook from Sky's Edge and damn it was a good one
The line up for the party.
Scallops sliced to 1/2", sliced Baby Bok Choy stems,rough cut BBC greens,scallions,and red pepper flakes. Sauce is chicken stock,Sciracha,soy and cornstarch

What my fire looks like before the wok goes on. You want a hot stabilized fire or else your sautéing the food. This one was 600° dome.
Ginger,garlic and scallops getting happy

Scallops out BC stems in

Greens and scallions added

Everything back in the pot with sauce added

And plated up

Sorry for the dark on the egg pics but it's been killin me not to have those pics in my post lately. Thanks for looking.

The stories are almost more interesting than the recipes. Make sure you read about how Chop Suey came to fruitionfence0407 said:Bravo!

Thanks for posting this thread. Your stir fry looks terrific and I'm going to check out "Stir Frying to the Sky's Edge."
Any road will take you there if you don't know where you're going.

There is a bunch of info in that book. I never knew I was mincing ginger & garlic wrong until I saw her illustrations plus her stories on the history of wok cookin are really awesome. I've read it twice and I don't read much.-----------------------------------------analyze adapt overcome2008 -Large BGE. 2013- Small BGE and 2015 - Mini. Henderson, Ky.

Dayum brother! That cook is enough to push me over the edge and order that cookbook. You have stir fry figured out my friend. Beautiful plate.
I can tell by the way the steel of your wok looks that you had it blazing hot for this cook.Coleman, Texas

That looks amazing. The art of stir-fry is so simple, but always beautiful. That is, if you love food, of course. Well done.

I have a 16" which works fine but I think a 14" would make it easier getting out of the egg when it's blazin hot.oldgeezeystax said:Looks awesome!

Thanks. Is the extra capacity worth the hassle? Can the 14" still kick out enough grub for 6 people or so?Mattman3969 said:
