Great stuff! I wish I could do it. Asians, Muslims and Hindus have the best food around imho. I learned one thing from watching this but probably wouldn't be able to do it at home. A hot wok is key to not having the food stick, which is what usually happens here when I try any foreign food not drenched in sauce of some kind.

Thanks for posting.

Yan at wo(r)k.

ETA What was the powder he added to make the food shiny at the end? Not MSG (monosodium glutamate) I hope.

Wok a Guy, no doubt.

I love how easy he makes it look when he cooks.Trust me it's not that easy to use a wok that gracefully. I've been there my friend.

My best guess would be it's Arrowroot powder. Very similar to cornstarch, thickens and adds that sheen.
