Hi Lizzi, they are small dried anchovies, which are ocean fish. Minnows are freshwater fish!

Thanks for letting us know! Are you saying that an ad is sitting on top of a video? That shouldn’t happen! can you send us a screenshot of what you’re seeing to family@thewoksoflife.com?

Good suggestion James, a wok is not required for many recipes ;-)

Hi Andrea, you are right, oyster sauces all have sugar. What I would recommend is eliminating any added sugar and using oyster sauce. For the small amounts of oyster sauce most recipes require, hopefully that small amount of added sugar is tolerable.

Hi Barbara, you can try a wok ring to concentrate the heat for a round bottomed wok, which is what we used when growing up (we had both and electric and a gas stove) but the best solution is a flat bottomed wok.

I cook in my wok on my glass-top electric all the time. I see no problem with it.

I have found coconut aminos to be a good substitution flavor-wise, though the texture is thinner.
