Never Wok

The other day, I was feeling the itch to bring out my 42” round bottom wok, to cook... and I thought I'll start to be a wokking wife, using it for every single cooking job... wa haha!!!!!

the first thing I did was, to cook pasta...

and the result?

Crap!! the pasta sauce that I've made, as I couldn't have a grasp of how well the different ingredient can be cooked just nice... I ended up having slightly hard ingredients, well, my pasta sauce is mainly different types of vegetables...

the worse thing is... which I've often forgotten, my sink is too small for such a big wok, therefore washing it, becomes a chore... yes, I actually like cleaning up dishes, just like I like doing my launderette,

washing my vision pots are easy, and what more to say, glassware (maybe some of you will disagree) is so much more easier than washing any other types of cookwares...

so, after my FIRST attempted (again) session with my wok, now, it's back to the cold storage...

and I've finally decided that I'm not a wok person,

it's just too painful to use, and I can't really cook nicely with it...

oh, in fact, I took it out, cos, I thought I want to do a nicely fried egg, and next day, nicely fried fish...

but then, in the end, the supposed nicely fried egg is not that nice (not the perfect sunny side up and whatsoever) and guess what,

the next day, I used back my IKEA 365 flat bottom fry pan to fry my fish...

che...! it turned out just nice... well, as what I did is shallow fry, so, my fish/egg is never really THAT crispy as those fried with more oil...

and after that,

today, I'm back to using my vision pots, vision cookware, to boil soup (the chinese way) or even I used it to cook/simmer pasta sauce or whatever stewed food,

all turned out nice, and just right...

vision, vision, all the way!

Never wok again!
