Is it possible to get a proper wok pan that works with an electric stove?

Anyone here made mooncakes? My fiancé wants to make them and made her first batch ever last night. Some issues were had.

-The salted yolks where inedible, I read up on it today and found they require 4-6 weeks to be made properly, she used some method that took a day.

-The forms where too small to properly hold an egg yolk too so she had to split them, I have no idea what size she bought, she didn't either but I suspect they are on the smaller size range maybe 50-75g. I read that traditional mooncakes are like 4" or 10cm so that's probably a 150g mold I am thinking.

Anyone know if this is a good buy? There are cheaper ones for around 8 euros too. No idea if quality and price have any relation...

Some of last nights work, my fiancés that is, these ones without eggs and different compositions. I spent last night baking rye bread, the kitchen was pretty full.

I bought a 14" round bottomed Wok for use with a gas burner (bought separately), says made in China so score one for authenticity.

It's real thin metal (carbon steel) so I can flex the wok quite a bit, more than I am used to, but I guess that's actually correct for a wook, they're supposed to be thin so they warm up fast and so you can have hotter and cooler areas of the Wok.

I wish it had come with a handle on the opposite end of the pan though. Doing a bead on the edge would really stiffen it up as well. Might do it myself.

Next time finish all your food so you won’t have to deal with left overs

The whole point of food is to have leftovers IMO. We almost never make food without having leftovers, that's how I get lunch for work.

Outside of fried rice most of the stuff I cook in my wok would be overcrowded and wouldn't cook properly if I made multiple servings at the same time so I almost never have leftovers. I'm not heartbroken cause stuff like pad see ew and pad Thai don't hold up amazingly the next day

We always have to cook for four people so any kind of food that can't be made in large quantities tends to not get made at our place. Just the logistics of family life.

I went through four cannisters of butan in two days (mostly because of seasoning and then needing to reseason the work), is there an adaptor to make the gas burner work with a larger tank?

I don't know the answer to your question but that's precisely why I ordered a ring burner with a gas hose connection so I can connect it to my big propane tank for the grill. Rated for 25,500 BTUs in america units.

Tried my hand at stir frying today. Things might look wet because I hosed everything down due to pollen.



Works well enough, has some of the same issues that others mentioned with these western style burners. But I planned to not use this solely with a wok, works fine to me! The b ig issue was wind, I live in a windy place and it's such a PITA. I could tell when the wind picked up that most of the heat never hit the pan, just went into the air.



I dunno I fried everything separately, blanched the broccolis first. Then I threw everything together anyway with some sauce.

Rice, tofu, fried egg and lao gan ma. The Tofu was made fresh by the lady that runs one of the asian stores here.



I've tried a bunch of the lao gan ma jars now andf I think my favorite is the peanuts in chili oil.

This makes me want to try "lazy tofu" next.
