About WokTonight
Why we exist
Most Chinese recipes online were written for Chinese kitchens — with woks, rice cookers, specialty sauces, and ingredients from Chinatown. If you're cooking in a regular apartment with an electric stove, a trip to Trader Joe's is a lot more realistic than a trip to an Asian grocery.
WokTonight is different. Every recipe on this site is tested in a regular Western kitchen — with regular grocery store ingredients and tools you already own. No wok? We'll show you how to use a skillet. Can't find doubanjiang? Here's exactly what to use instead.
Our promises
Precise measurements
No "a pinch of salt." Every ingredient has US cups + metric grams.
Grocery store ingredients
If you can't find it at Trader Joe's or Whole Foods, we tell you exactly what to use instead.
No special equipment
Every recipe works with a regular skillet, pot, and knife. Wok optional — never required.
Diet-friendly filters
Gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, keto, nut-free — every recipe tells you exactly what it's compatible with.
