Wokka Wokka!

Recently I have been emailing back and forth with a dear friend of our family, Lefty. He and I share a similar passion... namely - COOKING!

...That, and having things that need a little TLC and seasoning. We've talked a lot about seasoning cast iron and how I was on a quest to find a good wok and lo and behold... He sent us one! Yippee. It's the traditional shape (i.e. not flat bottom) and has the same joys as cast iron. It'll develop a great nonstick coating from seasoning over time due to it being a carbon steel wok.

So, here it is being used on the grill for the first time to obtain some rip-roaring high heat.

This was my first attempt at making beef and broccoli. My mise en place...

The results!

I think I still need to tweak the recipe a bit, or perhaps try another recipe, but this was definitely a great start to my experience in wok cooking. :-)
