Everyone has their go-to pans: a tried-and-true skillet; a worn-out saucepan; a big, heavy pot. In his new cookbook, acclaimed food writer J. Kenji López-Alt makes the case that a wok should be added to that list. “As far as putting dinner on the table quickly and easily, nothing beats stir-frying in a wok. It's the quintessential weeknight supper," says López-Alt. “It's also a fantastic way to showcase good ingredients. Vegetables retain their bright color and crunch, proteins come out tender and flavor-packed.” In The Wok, LópezAlt offers a comprehensive guide to the Asian dishes traditionally prepared in this pan so you can experience the speedy cooking and big-time flavors for yourself. Try one tonight!
