The Woks of Life is a multigenerational family blog written by Bill, Judy, Sarah, and Kaitlin Leung, an American family with roots across different regions of China. Since 2013 they have published a large archive of tested Chinese recipes, drawing on both home cooking traditions and professional restaurant experience within the family.
Their recipes cover a wide range of Chinese regional cooking, from Northern dumplings and noodles to Cantonese stir-fries, Shanghainese braises, and Sichuan dishes with characteristic heat and numbing spice. They lean on wok technique, proper heat control, and pantry staples like soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, and doubanjiang, and they are known for explaining ingredients and methods in detail so home cooks can reproduce restaurant-style results.
