City of Dreams Manila’s Southeast Asian bar and bistro, Red Ginger, is bringing the art of ‘wok hei’ to the forefront with its exciting new promotion, the “Breath of the Wok.” Available until the end of August, this promotion showcases five sizzling stir-fried dishes that epitomize the culinary prowess of chef de cuisine Sam Kin Hue.
Wok hei, which translates to “breath of the wok,” is more than just a cooking method; it is an art form that serves as a measure of a chef’s skill, honed through years of experience. The technique involves cooking fresh ingredients in a wok over intense heat, resulting in a unique smoky and charred flavor. Despite the high temperatures, the skillful chef can retain the perfect texture and crunch of the ingredients. The key to achieving a flawless wok hei lies in repeatedly stir-frying small portions of food while maintaining the right balance of oil to mix with the water droplets from the vegetables. Additionally, momentarily tossing the flame in the wok imparts a distinctive touch to the dish.
Red Ginger’s “Breath of the Wok” promotion features a delectable array of dishes, each bursting with the rich flavors of wok hei. These include:
- Pad Thai Beef: Stir-fried rice noodles cooked with succulent beef, tofu, tamarind sauce, and peanuts.
- Mak Pin Chicken: Wok-tossed chicken thigh served with crispy cereals and aromatic curry leaves.
- Gam Jun Tofu: Fried tofu combined with flavorful minced pork.
- Hak Jiu Seafood: Wok-fried prawns and squid drenched in a delectable black pepper sauce.
- Siu Yuk Noodles: Wok-fried egg noodles accompanied by crispy pork belly and fish cake.
The culinary expertise of chef Sam Kin Hue shines through in each of these masterfully prepared dishes, allowing diners to savor the true essence of wok hei.
