Introduction

Cooking quickly comes naturally with the wok. The hot temperatures and ease of use make using the wok ideal for modern life. As time becomes more valuable, elaborate meals with many courses are rarer or are relegated to long weekends.

However, good food is essential for health and well-being. No ready-cooked meal can take the place of fresh food cooked with love, nor can it replace the comforting smell of fresh vegetables simply stir-fried with garlic or ginger. At the end of the day, it comes down to quality of life versus compromise.
