Stirfry on the Vintage Wok!

[Duke]

It all started two days ago when I made this awesome center cut pork loin.





Then I scored this vintage Weber wok and original utensils and planned a stir fry.



There is an inscription on one of the handles.



Rather than bore you with pictures of every step I am just showing the short version.

This was minced smoked pork from yesterday, green onions, garlic shrimp, peanuts, water chestnuts and  little oyster sauce.



Then I added the fresh vegetables.
Snow peas, carrots and brocoli.



Here's a grill shot.



Finished!




Served! I used a little wasabi soy with sesame on it. I also keep a bottle of Schiracha on standby for a little extra heat when needed.



That wok worked so much better than my other. I wonder if it's the material it's made from or that I cooked it with higher heat, but everything really sizzled like it does when you watch a pro. I also have plenty of lefties for lunch today. 

Tonight I am planning on doing this again, but with noodles this time like Jeff did.

Oh man... my stomach is growling just looking at that. What time should I be over for dinner tonight? 

[Jeff]

Shaun...looks great! Making me hungry now! 
You know...when you said it cooked so much better than the "new" style Weber Wok...I thought the EXACT same thing. It sizzled better, cooked better, AND I had so much more space to work with.  I think my new style 22 might even be expendable becaue of it. 
When I did my noodles, I half cooked them first before putting them in the wok.  And yes...the leftovers are great.  Wish I had some now.
Lastly, I never noticed those inscriptions in the handles on my wok.  I'll have to check.  I WANT those tools you have with your wok....I have the original box and paperwork with mine....but the tools are missing.

FREAKING NICE WOK!  Nice meal too!  I'd love to find a Wok like that!  Then I would Wok and 'Roll'!

Thanks everyone!

Could it be possible that Weber used the mold from the 1952 original as the contour for the wok?



Man you know what? Together we are closing in on an original '52! I know there one out there and we are probably going to be the ones that find it.

hmmm...by looking at the Weber Timeline...I think the wok is a bit more rounded than the original kettle, but it also could just be the angle of the picture on the timeline that makes it look "less" round.  ??
