Red Ginger, City of Dreams Manila’s Southeast Asian bar and bistro puts into spotlight the distinct flavors of “wok hei” with the “Breath of the Wok” promotion available until end of August.
The promotion highlights five piping hot stir-fried dishes that reflect chef de cuisine Sam Kin Hue’s mastery of the fire and wok. Wok hei, which translates to “breath of the wok,” is a cooking method, considered an art and a measure of a chef’s skill that’s perfected through the years. It is characterized by the dishes’ unique smoky and charred flavor that is achieved by cooking fresh ingredients in a wok over searing heat, causing the flavor to develop while simultaneously retaining texture and crunch. Repeatedly stir-frying in small amounts while maintaining the right balance of oil to mix with the water droplets from the vegetables and momentarily tossing the flame in the wok, is the key to a perfect wok hei.
The flavors of wok hei come alive in the Pad Thai Beef (stir-fried rice noodles with beef, tofu, tamarind sauce and peanuts), Mak Pin Chicken (wok-tossed chicken thigh with crispy cereals and curry leaves),Gam Jun Tofu (fried tofu with minced pork), Hak Jiu Seafood (wok-fried prawns and squid with black pepper sauce); and Siu Yuk Noodles (wok-fried egg noodles with crispy pork belly and fish cake).
Red Ginger is located at the upper ground floor and is open from 11 am to 1 am.
