		cooking technique, which is stirring. For the preparation,
		make sure all the ingredients are ready.

		in the wok. Aside from this, maintain a medium-high heat,
		which ranges only up to 375 degrees. It has a built in structure
		that can maintain the heat. After this, you only need to wait
		until the food turns golden-brown. Hence, use a wire strainer
		in removing the food out of the wok. This is for draining the oil.
		Another option is to place a paper towel on the plate. Doing so
		will help absorb excess oils.

	- Steam - With steaming using a wok, most people often use bamboo
		steamers. A bamboo steamer is a round basket that holds the
		food over the steaming water. In order for the steam to come
		out, the lid should be tightly closed. Then, place the bamboo
		steamer in the wok and fill it with some water. The water
		should be half inch below the steamer. After this, cover the
		wok and let the water boil over high heat. The duration of the
		steaming process depends on the particular recipe. Next,
		carefully remove the bamboo steamer from the wok.
		Another way of steaming is with the use of a so-called
		"wire streamer". This is a good way of braising and smoking
		food. All you need to do is to place the rack inside a wok and
		add 1 inch water below the rack. Make sure the water does
		not touch the rack. You need to then arrange the food which
		can be steamed in a heatproof plate. You will then put the plate
		on the rack of the wok. Lastly, cover the wok and maintain
		medium-heat or as directed in the recipe.

	This can make the large foods shallow fried. The other spices are
		automatically deep-fried even with a small amount of oil.
		Aside from using gas, you can also make use of electric
		heating elements for woks. Although usage of gas can
		provide even heat at the bottom of the wok, the electric
		stove is much needed in a household kitchen. The electric
		stove can also provide a concave induction along the cooking
		surface. It can also respond quickly to the changes in temperature.
		A type of wok that is perfect for a flat round electric stove is the
		one with the round flat bottom. People are now enjoying the
		benefits and efficiency of using a wok.

		amount of force since this part is quite heavy, especially if it is used
		in stir-frying. It's easy to stir while cooking because the edges make
		the food seem to push up onto the sides.

		has a single handle will help the chef toss the food. It also requires
		a large amount of arm and wrist strength in order to produce this.

	At current, the most common material used in making woks are carbon steel
		and cast iron. These materials are more costly as compared to the
		traditional ones. A non-stick wok which is covered with Teflon is the
		most used variety. Aluminum is also the best conductor of heat.
		Plus, this makes it much easier to clean. Although it's the traditional
		way, aluminum is still soft and can get easily damaged, making it
		durable for steaming. This is especially because of its lid.
