Wei

I'm Wei, and I cover the Asian and wok section at Cuisinety. I grew up in Shanghai watching my mother work a wok over a screaming flame, then spent ten years cooking for family dinners, friends, and late-night kitchen experiments before putting any of it on paper. I believe the wok is the original one-pan dinner, and that the secret to weeknight Asian cooking is prep order, not exotic ingredients. That belief shapes how I review every recipe: I check the sequence first — what hits the pan, in what order, at what heat — because a stir-fry with the right ingredients in the wrong order is a soggy disappointment. Then I check the sauce: balanced, or just salty? And I check the clock — ten minutes should mean ten minutes. What can you expect from me? Quick wok dinners, noodle bowls, and sauces that taste like they took an hour (they took ten) — written with prep order front and center, quantities that hold up over high heat, and nothing you can't find in a normal supermarket.
