"Wok hei" is a Cantonese term that translates to "breath of the wok." Dishes pick up a unique flavor, aroma, and essence when stir-fried quickly in a well-seasoned wok over extremely high heat. The magic of "wok hei" is the result of a combination of factors:
The intense heat of the flame
The vaporization of oils and sauces
The charring of ingredients
The seasoned surface of the wok itself
Achieving the perfect "wok hei" is an art form that experienced chefs pride themselves on. When done correctly, it elevates a dish, imbuing it with a smoky, slightly charred flavor that's impossible to replicate with other cooking methods.
