The Technique School

Three skills that change everything

Recipes tell you what. Technique tells you why. Learn the core moves once and cook anything with confidence.

01

How to stir-fry

High heat, a hot pan, and dry ingredients. Learn the order of operations that stops your stir-fry from going soggy and gives you real wok hei — even on a home stove.

02

How to velvet meat

The cornstarch-and-egg-white secret that makes Chinese restaurant chicken and beef impossibly tender. Three minutes of prep, a totally different result.

03

How to balance a sauce

Salty, sweet, sour, umami, heat. Understand the five-flavor framework and you can fix any sauce by taste instead of blindly following a recipe.

Knife & Prep Skills

Cut like a Chinese chef

The prep is half the dish. Master these cutting techniques and everything cooks evenly, looks restaurant-clean, and tastes the way it should.

From “I can’t cook Chinese” to weeknight hero

“I’m from Berlin and always thought Chinese cooking was out of reach. The substitute finder told me exactly what to buy at my local REWE. My mapo tofu finally tastes right.”

“The Korean translation is genuinely natural — not robotic. I cook from WokWise in my own language every week. The egg fried rice technique alone was worth it.”

Jihoon P.
MarcusSeoul, Korea

“As a busy parent the dinner plan generator is a lifesaver. Real Chinese food, supermarket ingredients, on the table in 30 minutes. My kids ask for the kung pao now.”

The substitution guide is the best part.
