You’ll understand how I adapted what I learned from my mom to modern cooking and lifestyles. I’ve simplified the cooking process and ingredients so cooking becomes fun and creative instead of a chore.
You’ll feel empowered and liberated when you don’t have to measure or depend on recipes.
Here’s what Wok Star Marilyn said, “The road map was the best thing ever invented! I was always struggling with what to do when. I wasn't raised in a culture that was familiar with these techniques and I was exposed to only the New England style of cooking. Many of us weren't even aware there was some other way! Thank you for helping with that!”
I use the analogy to music to describe What a Wok Star is! You’ll understand the difference between using recipes and my NO recipe, NO measuring technique.
Once you know your 4 basic seasonings for marinading and making sauce, you can create TONS of variations. I'll show you how to "Squirt, Squeeze, Shake" eliminating measuring. I'll also show you how to get organized which makes cooking go quickly and smoothly.
You'll resonate because I deal with some of the most common complaints when doing wok cooking, "why are my veggies so soupy?" and "I hate cooking with my electric stove!" If you've experienced these issues, you'll find my explanation an AHA moment as did my guests in this presentation, lots of nodding! You need BOTH the right wok and right heat to succeed.
I'm including some fusion dishes below (suggested by a Wok Star) to try in your wok. You'll realize your wok is the MOST versatile and UNIVERSAL pan for cooking most anything! Anything you can cook in a flat pan is almost ALWAYS better in a wok because the high sides prevent food falling out on your counter and makes it easier to swish your food around in your wok.
You'll want to immediately run and make this popular appetizer. It's yummy, colorful and full of textures and flavors. It's great as an appetizer at dinner parties, tailgate parties, watching a game. A Wok Star even takes her portable kitchen and makes this for her staff as a treat! Quick to assemble and always a big HIT!
I even show how to marinade the ground turkey, as well as stir fry it.
You'll love this simple stir fry with only 2 seasonings! You can sub with whatever veggies you like or add tofu and make it vegetarian or vegan.
I show how fast and easy it is. You can make this to go with western dishes like meat loaf or steak. Just a change from salad.
I've given more examples of veggie dishes to try.
You’ll learn how to put a one-dish meal together and why it’s not a good idea to put too many veggies in one dish. I also demonstrate the importance of colors and textures in a dish.
I’ve included 2 audio files:
- an ingredients list
- an audio cook-along, it’s like I’m a private coach right in your home, it was recorded in real time, so we do everything together from washing veggies to chopping to marinading, make sauce and stir fry.
Many have found this very helpful with their rhythm and timing and acts like a refresher or reminder prompting you when to do something.
You only need just 4 seasonings for marinading your protein whether it's poultry, meat, seafood and even tofu! No, it won't taste the same. My Hispanic and Latino Wok Stars LOVE marinading their picadillo, ropa vieja using same seasonings! The seasonings translates really well with any ethnic dishes.
You’ll learn:
- same 3 step stir fry process as veg with different technique for meat
- why you fry in one single layer
- why the oil dispenser works well
- importance of not overloading your wok
Including more shrimp dishes to try out. A cast iron wok is the perfect pan to sear shrimp with shells on so they are succulent inside and crispy outside.
For the 5 Minute Wonder Soup with Shrimp, it's not a good idea to use your newly seasoned cast iron wok to make this dish till it's patina has set in, otherwise it'll make it dry. Initially, your wok wants lots of oil as mentioned earlier, like bacon, deep frying.
You’ll learn:
- how versatile a wok is when I use it to poach fish with a lot of liquid. The wide opening and depth of the wok is the perfect vessel for poaching.
- why it’s NOT a good idea to do this dish when your cast iron wok is newly seasoned as you need to build up patina first.
- how easy cleanup is, it’s another complaint I hear.
- tips how to cook at a dinner party!
- other foods to poach in a wok
- how to thicken sauce with cornstarch

I can't wait for you to be a Wok Star!
Now you’ve seen me using
- the right wok…my lightweight, cast iron wok
- the right heat…12,000 BTU gas stove in action
- the right technique…my easy, NO-recipe, NO-measuring technique
- Quality ingredients…4 seasonings and the hoisin and brown bean sauce
The most important? The flavor, texture and colors of your food that come from a cast iron wok is beyond anything you’ve experienced.
That’s why I didn’t want you rushing off to get a cheap wok and use it on an electric stove. Neither of those work efficiently.
Visit the links for an in-depth explanation of different woks including the dreaded nonstick wok. And when you're ready to Cook Like a Wok Star, I've provided the link to my store.
When you’ve had some practice and the wok has built up some patina, you can make this very popular Malaysian street food that’ll make your toes curl, ha, ha! Link below.
