Jeg fikk meg en wok i høst, og tenkte at nå skulle det bli vei i vellinga, men motivasjonen er ikke helt der, ei heller energi eller overskudd, og jeg er nødt til å ha en deadline for å få noe gjort (hei, diagnose), ellers blir det utsatt og utsatt. Så jeg ringte min far og spurte efter oppskriften han bruker når han wokker. Han gav meg den, og jeg modifiserte den efter hva jeg liker.
Ingredienser
Valgfritt kjøtt (og det er også valgfritt å bruke, om man er veganer, vegetarianer, eller bare ikke spiser kjøtt av andre grunner) (svin er godt, kylling er godt, jeg har ikke testet med breiflabb, storfe, eller lam, men jeg hører folk si at det også er godt)
½ purreløk, delt i skiver
1 fedd hvitløk, finhakket
Så mye cashewnøtter du vil (jeg brukte 61 gram)
To gulrøtter, strimlet
½ persillerot, delt i skiver
En boks vannkastanjer, grovhakket
½ paprika, rød, grovhakket
1 chili, rød, finhakket
1/3 kinakål, grovhakket
En pakke woksaus
En teskje soyasaus
Noen dråper ketjap manis
En halv pakke nudler, jeg brukte eggnudler, men det går fint med risnudler også
Slik gjør du det
Start med å romtemperere kjøttet og hakke de andre ingrediensene. Varm litt olje i woken. Stek kjøttet, jeg brukte 350 g svin. Ta det ut, legg det til side på en tallerken. Gjerne krydre det om du vil. Jeg liker å bruke litt flingsalt, litt sort pepper, en del spisskum, koriander, og karri.
Tørk av overflødig olje og fett, ha i ny olje, og begynn å steke de andre ingrediensene. Jeg tok de mer eller mindre efter hardhet.
Først purre, hvitløk, og cashew (dog, jeg kunne ha ventet til slutten med hvitløken for å gi en mer karakteristisk hvitløkssmak, men jeg serverte dette til min mor og hun er ikke like begeistret for den smaken, så da lot jeg den varmebehandles for å minimere den karakteristiske hvitløkssmaken).
Når det har fått fresa litt og fått litt farve og mykhet (i alle fall cashewnøttene), tilsetter du den halve persillerota, de strimla gulrøttene, og efterhvert vannkastanjene. Når det har fått godgjort seg en liten stund, tilsetter du paprika og chili, og til slutt kinakålen.
Så er det bare å holde det varmt, røre rundt, og la det kose seg og få smak en stund. Jeg holdt vel på i bortimot en time, og da var også ingrediensen gode, varme, og fine i konsistensen. Ikke slappe, ikke soggy, men det som allerede var mykt, var fortsatt mykt, og det som i utgangspunktet var hardt, var al dente.
Mot slutten tilsetter man kjøttet og lar det kose seg litt mens man rører rundt, så tilsetter man sausen, jeg brukte en pose hoisin-saus fra Blue Dragon, siden dette var min første gang (og jeg hadde noen poser som går ut på dato snart), samt en teskje soyasaaus og noen dråper ketjap manis.
Rett før servering, koker man nudlene, tilsetter dem, rører rundt, og prøver å få dem til å fordele seg sånn nogenlunde. Her kan man fint bruke enten salatbestikk eller en pastaklype.
Så er det bare å servere, eller ha i bokser og sette i kjøleskapet for middag de neste dagene. Jeg regner med det blir sånn omtrent 7 porsjoner ut av mengden jeg brukte, men det er forskjellig fra person til person.

I got a wok earlier this Autumn and thought that now I was ready to go to town, but I’ve been missing my motivation, energy, and my surplus lately, and I need to have a deadline to get anything done (hello, diagnosis). If not, I just procrastinate it into next leap year. So I called up my dad and asked him for the recipe he use when he makes wok for the family. He gave it to me, and I modified it after what I like.
Ingredients
Whatever meat you want (and it’s optional too, for you vegetarians/vegans/others who don’t eat meat out there) (pork is good, chicken is good, I haven’t tested it with bream, beef, or lamb, but I hear people say that’s good too)
½ leek, sliced
1 clove of garlic, finely chopped
As many cashew nuts as you want (I used 61 grams)
Two carrots, cut into thin strips
½ parsley root, sliced
A can of water chestnuts, roughly chopped
1 bell pepper, red, roughly chopped
1 chili, red, finely chopped
1/3 Chinese cabbage, roughly chopped
1 packet of wok sauce
1 tsp soy sauce
Some drops kecap manis
½ pack of noodles, I used egg noodles, but rice noodles work too
How to do it
Start with letting your meat rest on your counter until it gets to room temperature. Heat up some oil in the wok and fry the meat. I used 350 g pork strips. Take out, put it on a plate. If you want, you can add some seasonings. I like to use some flake salt, black pepper, cumin, coriander (or cilantro, if you will), and curry powder.
Dry of any excess oil and fat, add more oil, and start frying up the other ingredients. I tried to add them after how long they need to get tender.
First the leek, garlic, and cashew (I could’ve waited with the garlic until the end to get the characteristic garlic flavouring, since the heat kinda makes it milder, but since I had my mother over, I added it in the start, since she isn’t that fond of garlic).
When it had fried for some time and got some colour and got a bit softer (at least the nuts), add the half parsley root, the caroot strips, and after a while, the roughly chopped water chestnuts. When it has enjoyed it self in the wok for a short while, add the bell pepper and the chili, and then the Chinese cabbage (you can use whatever cabbage you want, I like Chinese cabbage).
Then just keep it heated, stir it, and let it enjoy itself and suck up some flavouring. I guess I did that for an hour, because time flies, and then the ingredients were tender, warm, and had a nice consistency. Not soggy or anything. What was soft, was still soft, and that which was hard, was al dente.
When you feel you’re getting close to the end, add the meat back in, and then keep stirring and moving stuff around so nothing burns or get stuck. Then you add the sauce, I used a packet of hoisin wok sauce from Blue Dragon, since it was my first time (and I had some packets that was nearing the expiration date). I also added a teaspoon of soy sauce and some drops of kecap manis.
Right before you serve it, boil the noodles, add them, and stir some more. Try to make them blend in good with the other ingredients, not just be in a heap in the middle of the wok. Salad cutlery and pasta tongs works fine for this.
Then just plate it up, or put it into boxes and put those boxes in the fridge, and have dinner for some days. I got about seven portions out of the quantity of ingredients I used, but that varies from person to person.
