i got an induction wok the other day and tested it out with the School of Wok vegan chow mein shown here. i also steamed some Thai basil dumplings in a bamboo steamer our neighbors gifted us when they moved away. the result? hella friggin’ tasty delight. lightly fried tofu, onion, bell peppers, broccoli, bok choy, and noodles with a basic sauce.

    The ambient occlusion is so strong it kind of hurts my eyes. It looks like a render!

    EDIT sorry I should say it looks really good though :9

      lol, that’s fair - i always run my cell phone photos through Google Photos to dial up the saturation and what they call the “pop”. it makes for more interesting photos but if you have a good monitor i bet it’s almost unpleasant, ha! sorry for that.

    What’s going on in the photo? The colors and contrast look a little… off.

      in Google Photos there’s an option to dial up the saturation and dial up what it calls “pop” and I usually dial up both a fair bit, otherwise my photos tend to look dull and unappealing.

        I kinda like it. Its never occurred to me to adjust the color settings. I may have to try that with some of my photos before sharing recipes with friends, particularly since lighting in our place isn’t always the best.

    How was the induction wok thing? I’ve been thinking of getting one, if you mean the curved hob type thing vs flat bottomed wok.

    Looks like it worked a treat!

      it was great. i ended up going with the NuWave wok shown in this video, despite in the end him recommending the other one (heads-up, his channel is not vegan; there are some vegan recipes but viewer beware). at my price point and lack of a functional separate wok, the NuWave checked the boxes and worked just like i was hoping for.
