School of Wok Technique Guide
If your wok has developed rust on the inside surface, do not panic. Carbon steel woks naturally rust if left damp or not properly dried. In most cases, rust does not mean the wok is ruined. It simply needs restoring and re seasoning.
This technique guide explains how to safely remove rust and bring your wok back into working condition.
Bao Bun Steaming Techniques
Steaming is the gold standard method for cooking bao buns and dim sum. A traditional bamboo steamer naturally absorbs excess condensation, preventing water from dripping back onto your food. However, if you do not own a bamboo steamer, there are several effective alternatives that will still give you light, fluffy bao without sogginess.
The key principle is controlling condensation. Any flat metal or glass lid will collect steam, which then drips back down onto the bao. Managing that moisture is the difference between perfect bao and soggy buns.
Crispy Japanese Tonkatsu Pork is a golden, crunchy panko-crumbed pork cutlet that’s juicy inside and crisp on the outside. This version packs extra flavour into the meat before breading, then shallow fries for a beautifully even crust.
Traditionally served sliced with shredded cabbage and tonkatsu sauce, this recipe also shows how to turn the cutlet into a classic katsu sando — a Japanese sandwich layered with mustard and sauce between soft bread.
Inspired by a School of Wok Mystery Bag Cook-Off, this dish combines seared mackerel glazed with a sweet soy dressing, homemade pancakes and a refreshing wakame seaweed salad. Fresh pear, cucumber, ginger and sesame bring balance to the rich fish, creating a dish reminiscent of duck pancakes with a Japanese-inspired twist.
Pad Med Mamuang is a classic Thai stir-fry combining tender marinated chicken, roasted cashew nuts, crisp vegetables and dried chillies in a rich sweet, savoury and tangy sauce. Unlike a Chinese chicken and cashew stir-fry, the addition of fish sauce and tamarind gives this Thai favourite its distinctive depth and bright acidity.
Thai Style Pork Patties are fragrant, juicy meat patties inspired by the flavours of Thai larb. Minced pork is mixed with finely chopped aromatics such as lemongrass, garlic, ginger and kaffir lime leaves, then combined with toasted rice powder for a distinctive nutty crunch. These patties are pan fried until golden and slightly crisp on the outside while remaining juicy and aromatic inside. Served with sweet chilli sauce, they make a simple but flavour packed dish perfect with rice or as a snack.
This classic Chinese dish combines golden prawns tossed in a fragrant ginger and spring onion sauce, served over a crispy nest of fried noodles. The contrast between crunchy noodles and silky, savoury sauce creates a beautifully balanced texture and flavour.
Hong Kong Salt & Pepper Pork Chops are a Cantonese café classic featuring thinly sliced pork chops marinated with Shaoxing wine, soy sauce and Chinese five-spice before being lightly coated in cornflour and deep-fried until crisp. Finished with flash-fried garlic, bird's eye chillies, spring onions and a generous seasoning of salt and pepper, this dish captures the unmistakable flavours of a Hong Kong cha chaan teng.
This Vegan Chow Mein is smoky, savoury and packed with crisp vegetables, springy noodles and golden crispy tofu. Tossed in a rich mushroom-based sauce, it delivers all the flavour of a classic takeaway-style chow mein without any meat.
