The Wok Recipes and Techniques PDF-#1 New York Times Bestseller • #1 Washington Post Bestseller • One of Time’s 10 Most Anticipated Cookbooks of 2022

From J. Kenji López-Alt, the author of the best-selling cookbook The Food Lab: the definitive guide to the science and technique of cooking in a wok.

J. Kenji López-Alt’s debut cookbook, The Food Lab, revolutionized home cooking, selling more than half a million copies with its science-based approach to everyday foods. And for fast, fresh cooking for his family, there’s one pan López-Alt reaches for more than any other: the wok.

Whether stir-frying, deep frying, steaming, simmering, or braising, the wok is the most versatile pan in the kitchen. Once you master the basics―the mechanics of a stir-fry, and how to get smoky wok hei at home―you’re ready to cook home-style and restaurant-style dishes from across Asia and the United States, including Kung Pao Chicken, Pad Thai, and San Francisco–Style Garlic Noodles. López-Alt also breaks down the science behind beloved Beef Chow Fun, fried rice, dumplings, tempura vegetables or seafood, and dashi-simmered dishes.-The Wok Recipes and Techniques PDF

Featuring more than 200 recipes―including simple no-cook sides―explanations of knife skills and how to stock a pantry, and more than 1,000 color photographs, The Wok provides endless ideas for brightening up dinner.

Top reviews

James Carter “This is easily one of the most anticipated cookbooks of the year, and its James Beard award winning author J. Kenji Lopez-Alt is arguably one of the most influential food writers currently in the game. In this book Kenji is exuberant about both the wok and about what he knows and he does a good job of imparting that joy and knowledge to the reader, even if at times he oversells both.

I think the real magic of this book is that Kenji has so much personal experience with a wide variety of foods and cooking techniques and he can distill that down to help the less experienced cook get a feeling for what it is they are about to cook, whats delightful about the food, what pitfalls to avoid, and the tips and tricks they need to know to get an amazing result, and also what tools and methods make it better or easier. So even if you are not a food geek and you aren’t interested in the lengthy scientific discussions that may appear you can love this book. It is really beautiful that you get so much useable information in an easy to read book. You have the recipes but you are provided with a wealth of insight to both make the recipe work, and to give you the skill to improvise and create on your own when you are ready.

The book begins by telling you the virtues of a wok with a dash of the hyperbole you find on most food blogs, and then Kenji guides you through his opinion of what wok is the “best” for you to get, how to season, clean and maintain it. This is followed by a discussion of the tools which are useful for wok cooking, the pantry items you will want to have and the knife skills you need for cooking stir fries and other delicious wok cooked dishes. What I really appreciate is the way he distills things down and simply gives you his experienced perspective of what is good and what is not so good. This is especially valuable to less experienced cooks like me. Along the way there a sidebars discussing the science behind the cooking, and there are a metric ton of recipes for you to try everything from stir fries, rice bowl dishes, noodles, fried foods, and braised or simmered dishes (there’s a chapter for each). There is even a section on sides you don’t need to cook that can be served along your newly learned culinary creations.

This book really shines because the author is meticulous and driven to thoroughly test recipes. He has a reputation for doing insane amounts of work to justify his opinions through experimentation with lots of different iterations and “double-blind taste tests” with groups of people to pick the winner. I don’t know how much of that was done for this book, but by reputation its a good bet that you can trust these recipes. I’ve tried the beef and broccoli, crab fried rice, and hot and sour soup, and also played with velveting for my own stir fry creation (all pictured). All were great. Also pictured is this book next to the food lab, his award winning first cook book, to show this one is just slightly thinner than the previous effort.

What else is to like?
* All recipes include one or more picture
* Recipes include estimates of both active and total time for the making the dish
* Notes are provided for storage and future use where relevant
* Both metric and imperial units are given for measures of weight and volume and descriptors are provided for produce such as “12 medium shiitake mushrooms”
* You will get more explanations of “why” than almost any other cookbook
* It’s Kenji…if you are a fan like I am

What’s not to like?
* There are some typos or possible errata I’ve noticed (listed at the bottom of this review)
* To me it seems like this book was written with a dash too much ego…like the section of the history of woks is one paragraph about the history and 4-5 paragraphs about Kenji. To be fair he said that’s not what this book is about, but its kind of lazy to have a magnum opus about woks and not give it more than than.
Another illustration where I would point to this being written with too much ego is that there are no references cited for the facts and figures so it comes across as this is the decree of a ‘food god’ but even things like the densities or specific heats of metals just aren’t referenced. That’s poor form for a book that postures as a ‘food science’ heavy cookbook. There is a list books and websites and video channels, but these are not cited at all as the source of any of the information, facts or figures in this book…at least I didn’t see it if they were.
* The index in the kindle version does not provide clickable links to jump to the recipe
* the photos and the layout of the book aren’t particularly aesthetically pleasing. It’s utilitarian. It would have been greatly improved by a professional food stylist, photographer and graphic artist. In the price range this book sells for you generally see very polished and pretty layouts. This ine comes across more like a diy user manual.

Possible errors noted (I will update and will add page numbers soon):
* “The first three (specific heat capacity, density, and conductivity) are physical properties of the material itself, while the third (reactivity) is a function of a wok’s material, thickness, and geometry.” should read “the fourth” when the discussion moves to reactivity.

* In the chart listing the physical properties of metals the conductivity of stainless steel is listed as 45 W/m.K at room temp. This is about double the value in the charts I googled on the internet (430 grade stainless steel). Similarly the grey cast iron is about 50% higher in Kenji’s chart than values I see when googling. Kenji does not provide references so it makes it difficult to understand the discrepancies.

* Unless you have a custom wok insert in your range, you want to avoid round-bottom or induction woks. The word induction probably belongs in the next sentence… avoid round bottom woks. They won’t work, period, on an electric OR INDUCTION
