The breath of the wok. You can't fake fire.
Wok hei is the smoky, caramelised aroma that only appears when food meets a wok at ferocious heat — seared, tossed and plated in seconds. It can't be bottled, reheated or rushed. We built our whole kitchen around chasing it.
Heat
A screaming-hot wok. The flame does half the cooking.
Toss
Constant motion. Every piece kissed by fire, never stewed.
Timing
Seconds, not minutes. Crunch stays crunchy.
