Wok Hay

Original. Medium: Oil on canvas. Dimensions: 40"X50". Date: 2024. From the series Gold Mountain. Wok Hay is a term that captures the distinctive aroma and essence imparted by authentic stir-frying. Translating literally to “breath of the wok” or “wok’s thermal radiation,” it is a hallmark of Cantonese cuisine and a critical criterion for evaluating stir-fried dishes in the Canton region of China. By 7th grade, I was working in the kitchen in my father’s Restaurant on 103rd and State. Mounted on heavy-duty wooden sketcher bars. Museum quality solid wood floater frame. Made in the USA.   Framing available upon request. Please contact Rich Lo.
