Perhaps I don't NEED such a burner, but I do WANT one 😂!

No, it's a need.

Better get proper one than, not this toy.

You’re very correct, an outdoor wok burner is a lot of fun! Having that high heat made my dishes so much better.

Yum yum yum! Loved this chicken recipe. Thank you for sharing. Warm regards.

[@GIBKEL]

I bought a Capital Gas top convection oven and after some growing pains, a redesign in tye fan control, it finally is a Ferrari. Got the wok cast iron grate and it smokes. Restaurant worthy heat with killer stir fry. Just found your channel and it has been the best how to I’ve run into. It’s not only the recipe, but more importantly, tye techniques and pacing. I would really enjoy a Pad Thai demonstration. That has been hit and miss for me. Haven’t tried since I got the new stove some years ago. Cheers! Capital man!

@@SchoolofWok I did! And it was well received. The only thing that I didn't have was the fat on the thigh; I had boneless, skinless thighs - so it didn't quite sear the way it had done on the video. But I intend to find that the next time I prepare it. Thank you!

[@JossWaddy]

Looking forward to cooking this back to back with a Thai chicken and cashew. Love the burner, going to add it to the bucket list!

It's a "Ding" from me. I could almost taste it through video waves of deliciousness. 😁

[@leocodi]

We made this at the actual school of wok school in covent garden earlier this year. It’s amazing and I make it at home at least once a month. The school was great fun as well. Definitely going again sometime.

[@SchoolofWok]

Glad you have fun at the School! - Chris

I was a complete ding dong at it, if I could learn I swear so can you! There is no secret, just lean forward a little and flick back (not up). Do it a bunch of times, throw stuff around your kitchen floor maybe a few times, be brave!

@schoolofwok Hi Jeremy, how does one deal with the fact that so many domestic hobs/ranges are drastically underpowered compared to the commercial ones? How many BTU is yours at home? And how about this one you're using outside? I have an 18K BTU burner on my range but that's nothing close to 105K. Thanks!

[@theschmaddin8846]

Where can you buy the wok burner? This would be a great addition to my grill.

[@ninam3255]

👏👏👏 fab recipe I have just purchased your new cookbook. Congratulations on its release… a few questions could I use chicken breast in the recipe? any tips to tenderise? Cooking times? Also what brand of Chinese cleaver do you use? Could you attach a link? How do you maintain it sharpen it with regular knife sharper? Apologies for all the questions… I have only just discovered your channel. I am going to make this and your Cantonese chicken next weekend.

[@SchoolofWok]

You can use chicken breast if you prefer! We use the School of Wok cleaver, available on our website: schoolofwok.co.uk. We also have a video on our channel on how to sharpen your knives! - Chris

[@David_K_Dickson]

This looks fantastic and I am really looking forward to trying it out in my new School of Wok Pre-seasoned Carbon Steel Wok. 🙂 But, neither the list of ingredients above nor the recipe (in the link in the description above) specifies the quantity of Cashew Nuts. I am taking a guess at 50-100g. And how much Sesame Oil? 1 tsp to 1 tbsp? Love what you do. Please keep it coming.

[@IverKnackerov]

Because it’s not at all critical ? Put as much as you like in

[@abigailhillen-schiller3641]

@@IverKnackerov I mean, sure, but I'm just making my shopping list to cook this recipe tomorrow, and I forgot to include the cashews because they weren't listed in the written recipe! (You can call me a dozy idiot if you want, but I'll guarantee I'm far from the only one.)

[@David_K_Dickson]

@@IverKnackerov Sure, recipes are only a guideline, and once I have mastered a dish, I will gladly adjust quantities to suit my own tastes (as we all should). But when cooking a dish for the first time, I like to follow the recipe as closely as possible, both as a matter of respect to the originating chef and in the hope of achieving the best results.

[@galvatrixv]

At your discretion. With sesame oil, the more you add, the more flavour you get, so I like more. How I would do it is add half tablespoon, and if I don't get enough of the flavour I add a bit more. Cashews is really up to you. You will see when you cook it, eyeball and you can see if it looks like too much nuts. It's like, how much ham do you put in your sandwich? How much butter do you like to spread?

[@SchoolofWok]

We used four tablespoons of cashew nuts! I'm not sure why that wasn't in the recipe. For the sesame oil it's around a teaspoon - Chris

[@tomroutledge2868]

Looks great. Would it work to switch out the chicken for tofu?

[@SchoolofWok]

Absolutely! - Chris

[@michaelcoller3803]

Jeremy… you spend the entire video like it’s a commercial for this great new wok burner, then leave us all hanging at the end! Everyone watching was patiently waiting for information on how to get one for themselves, and you end by basically saying “I have one and you don’t” haha 😅

Why want smokiness? Smokiness means burnt food, burnt oil. And what does burnt things contain? That’s right. CARCINOGEN. Haiyaaaaa

[@rolosaenz]

looks delicious but, isn't high temp cooking bad for your health ? burnt oil and smoke will cause mutagenic chemicals to form, that is what i read but you guys who know wok cooking please tell.

[@roninkmh7625]

😂Everything is bad for you if not eaten in moderation,.

[@FrostedCreations]

Yes, maybe, but it's tasty. The only real danger zone is when the wok is smoking before the ingredients go in. I wait until it just starts smoking to add the ingredients. After there's stuff in the pan what you see is mostly steam, not smoke. It is important to use a high smoke point oil though.

[@galvatrixv]

Its not like with chargrill and barbecues, in wok cooking nothing is overly burnt. The Chinese have been cooking in woks for thousands of years with no problems.

[@sue.F]

Use animal fat like ghee or lard. The danger is more from seed oils which are even more rancid at high temperatures.

[@galvatrixv]

@@sue.F No, none of what you said makes sense

[@MbisonBalrog]

I’m surprised all those ingredients fit in the wok.
