This information is very text heavy, but López-Alt keeps things accessible and humorous. Recipes are approachable, with side notes and a list of items to have ready before stir-frying begins. Dishes include chicken basil chilies and fish sauce, miso-glazed broiled black cod or salmon, bibimbap, and more. An essential guide for all those who own a wok or wish to give one a try.
