The wok is an invention of pure necessity. In ancient times, the vast majority of people spent their lives in short of those things that the kings, emperors and warlords
had in abundance. Even staple items like fuel, cooking oil, utensils and water were scarce. In these lands and living conditions, foods had to be cooked quickly and
eciently.
Though the wok may appear to be a rather recent addition to Asian kitchen cookery, it has been used for over two thousand years. The rst woks were pottery
models found in the Han Dynasty tombs. Similar pans have been found in India and southeast Asia. There is believed to have been a sharing of cultures and cooking
techniques between these ancient civilizations.
The smooth, even distribution of intense heat is the wok’s most distinctive feature. The semi-spherical curve and shape of the wok allow for a maximum cooking surface
with very minimal fuel contact. It can be used to boil, braise, sauté, stir-fry, tempura-fry and steam. In any case, the cooking is done with little added oil or fat and with a
wide range of seasonings and avors.
