Soups

Soups are easily made in the wok. Heat is distributed evenly throughout the wok while its large, open surface allows for quick skimming. Some of the soup recipes call for a brisk stir-frying of the ingredients beforehand. This will give the ensemble a wonderful, smoky flavour that adds depth to the soup. The Spicy Soup with Spring Onions, for example, benefits greatly when the ingredients are stir fried first.

Other hearty soups, like the Succulent Meatball Noodle Soup, demonstrate the ability of the wok to make a delicious, wholesome one-dish meal. The wok’s rapid heating capability helps ease the pressures of today’s lifestyle, when time is at such a premium.
