Wok in Camp

After we cook dinner up stir fry veggies on our California river trips , we like to make use of a big wok. That is the largest wok that I've ever seen. We bought a couple of from a few native Chinese language eating places. They have been throwing them out as a result of the woks have been outdated and had tiny little holes within the steel. Cooking over coals and hearth, the small holes actually did not matter to us. You would possibly wish to go to a restaurant provide home and buy a smaller one in your personal tenting wants. Simply be certain it's all steel with out wood handles. When you're on the restaurant provide retailer, seize an additional lengthy pair of tongs, spoons and/or chopsticks for cooking.

WOK IN CAMP
vegetable oil
diced onions
greens (broccoli, brussel sprouts, carrots, cabbage, and so on.)
1/eight cup of soy sauce
1 Tblsp sesame seed oil
pinch of chili flakes
cooked white rice (or brown)

Use a well-seasoned wok. Add oil and place wok over coals or hearth. The oil will get scorching in a short time. Add onions and stir fry. Scoot the cooked onions to the higher portion of the wok and it'll keep heat with out burning. (Tilt the wok in the direction of you, push the onions away from you) Add any of your favourite greens reduce into related sized items. If you're including greens corresponding to spinach or cabbage, add these within the final minute of stir frying. When veggies look brilliant, incorporate the onions again into the combination. Add soy sauce, sesame seed oil and a little bit of chili flakes. Stir quick and eat fast. Very yummy with fried rice or plain white rice.

Variations: add left-over cooked rooster, pork or turkey because the final ingredient and heat totally. With out the meats, this dish will serve any vegan or vegetarian, and I might serve brown rice as an alternative of the white. I additionally prefer to splash a little bit of mirin (Japanese rice wine vinegar) together with the soy sauce as an enhancer whereas stir frying. Or you should use an oyster sauce as an alternative of the soy sauce. Asian components are so standard that almost all grocery shops carry the objects of their worldwide aisles.

Warning: use pliers, heavy tongs or steel hooks to carry the wok away from the hearth. The steel handles might be extremely popular, so use warning. To wash your wok, simply add salt and scrub with a ball of aluminum foil. (Once I was on the Grand Canyon, we simply threw sand into the wok and scrubbed it that method. Simply do not toss the sand into the river. Throw it away in your rubbish to be introduced out of any river hall.) Rinse and oil the wok earlier than storing.
