BREVILLE RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST
KNOW YOUR BREVILLE WOK
We at Breville are very safety conscious. We design and manufacture consumer products with
the safety of you, our valued customer foremost in mind. In addition we ask that you exercise a
degree of care when using any electrical appliance and adhere to the following precautions:
2400 watt ‘high wall’ element
The element in your Wok is recessed around
the wok base sides creating a wide heat zone
over the entire wok surface. The heavy die-
cast construction of the wok bowl is designed
to retain even heat and save energy.

recommends that care is taken with the
non-stick coating particularly when using
metal utensils. A plastic spatula has been
provided for your use.
Do not use sharp objects or cut food inside
the Avance Ultimate Wok. Breville will not be
liable for damage to the non-stick coating

• Stir frying is an energy efficient and
healthy way of cooking foods. The benefit
of this method is its speed and the flavour
result. The non-stick cooking surface on
your wok also means that less oil is
required for cooking. The cooking action
for stir frying is a continual tossing
motion to ensure the food is evenly
exposed to the heat and cooks quickly
and evenly in a couple of minutes.
• Stir frying should be carried out using
a high heat setting.

• Stir fry meat strips in small batches
(approx 200 - 300g) to stop meat shedding
its juice and ‘stewing’, resulting in
tougher meat.
PORK
• When adding meat strips to the frypan,
the strips should sizzle.
1 MINUTE

or medallion steaks or fillet.

• Preheat your wok before adding any
ingredients, allow the temperature light
to cycle ‘on’ and ‘off’ several times. This
will allow the wok to reach an even
high temperature.
• Stir fry meat strips for 1 - 2 minutes.
Any longer will toughen meat.
VEAL
Eye of loin, fillet, round, rump or topside.
• Remove each batch when cooked and
allow frypan to reheat before stir frying
the next. By cooking in small batches the
heat of the frypan remains constant,
ensuring the meat doesn’t stew
and toughen.
• Stir frying is a dry heat cooking method
and is best suited to tender cuts of meat.
Timing is a key factor when cooking them
as over cooking will give a tough, dry
result. Cooking times depend on the size
and thickness of the cut, as the bigger
the cut the more time is needed.
This brief cooking time will keep
vegetables crisp.
• Peanut oil is traditionally used for stir fry
Asian style dishes. However other oils
such as vegetable, canola and light olive
may be used.
• A small amount of oil can be mixed
through the meat strips before adding to
the frypan, along any other flavouring
such as garlic, ginger and chilli. A little
sesame oil can also add flavour. Mixing
the meat with the oil rather than heating
it separately in the frypan eliminates
using too much.
• Do not over fill the frypan. If necessary
cook in batches and reheat at the end of
stir frying. If using this method remember
to under cook slightly to not overcook the
end result.
• Drain off thin marinades from meat strips
before stir frying to prevent stewing
and splatter.
• Serve stir fried foods immediately to
retain their crisp texture.

visible fat.
Used to crispen and cook foods in a small
amount of oil. The foods may have already
been cooked.
Your Avance Ultimate Wok is ideal for
slow cooking curries and casseroles. Slow
cooking allows less tender meat cuts to be
used, to obtain a tender result. Less tender
meat cuts contain sinew and gristle, these
will be broken down during cooking to give a
tender result. It is not recommended to slow
cook with tender meat cuts as they will
toughen and shrink during cooking.
It is recommended during slow cooking to
place the lid on to retain the heat. During the
cooking process the curry or casserole will
boil then turn off. This is normal operating
for a probe controlled unit.

• Cook for approx 1 / - 2 hours, stirring
occasionally with the lid on.
• Use approximately 3 cups of oil, or
sufficient oil so that half the food
is immersed.
• Add soft or quick cooking vegetables such
as mushrooms, tomatoes, beans or corn
in the last half hour of cooking.
• Preheat the oil before adding food. When
using oil never cover with the lid during
heating or cooking as this will cause
condensation to drip into the oil and
result in bubbling and splattering.
• Do not move the wok during heating
or cooking.
• Thicken towards end of cooking by
stirring a little cornflour blended with
water, or plain flour blended with
margarine or butter. Alternatively, coat
the meat in plain flour before browning.
• Wipe moisture from foods to
avoid splattering.
• Cook a few pieces at a time to
ensure crispness.

PREPARATION TECHNIQUES
SPECIAL INGREDIENTS
The success of any dish depends on careful forethought and preparation. To achieve an
authentic Oriental appearance and even cooking results, food should be cut into small,
even pieces. This allows food to cook quickly and to be easily picked up with chopsticks.
A little planning ahead makes stir frying easier.
AGAR-AGAR
CHILLIES, FRESH AND DRIED
Is made from different types of seaweed. It
has excellent setting properties, similar to
gelatine, and will set at room temperature.
Chillies are available in many different types
and sizes. The small ones (birds eye or bird
peppers) are the hottest. Use tight fitting
gloves when handling and chopping fresh
chillies as they can burn your skin. The chilli
seeds are the hottest part of the chillies so
remove them if you want to reduce the heat
content of recipes.
SLICING
SHREDDING
A straight slice is used for cutting meats and
vegetables. Slices should be of an even
thickness. Partially frozen meat will slice
more evenly. Slice meat very thinly, across
the grain to obtain a more tender result.
Used for cutting meats and vegetables.
5mm slices of food should be stacked, then
cut again into 5mm sticks. Vegetables such
as cabbage and spinach should have their
leaves stacked, then rolled up. Cut width
ways very finely.
BOK CHOY
Also known as Chinese chard or Chinese
white cabbage, has fleshy white stems and
dark green leaves. It has a slight mustard
taste. There is also a smaller version called
shanghai or baby bok choy.
CORIANDER
This is also known as cilantro and Chinese
parsley. It is essential to many Southeast
Asian cuisines. A strongly flavoured herb,
use it sparingly until you are accustomed to
the unique flavour. Parsley can be used as a
substitute; it looks the same but tastes quite
different. Coriander is available fresh,
ground and in seed form.
BAMBOO SHOOTS
The young tender shoots of bamboo plants
are available in cans. They are mainly used
to add texture to food.
CUBING AND DICING
Used for cutting meats and vegetables. To
cube, cut 3cm slices, then stack them on top
of one another and slice 3mm thick in the
opposite direction. Cut again in the opposite
direction forming 3cm cubes. To dice, follow
the same directions, making 5mm slices
forming 5mm cubes.
MATCHSTICK OR JULIENNE
COCONUT CREAM AND
COCONUT MILK
Both coconut cream and milk are extracted
from the grated flesh of mature coconuts.
The cream is a richer first pressing and the
milk the second or third pressing.
First slice the vegetables as described
above. Then, stack slices and cut again into
thin or thick sticks depending on the recipe.

FISH SAUCE
RICE NOODLES
SAMBAL OELEK
SZECHUAN PEPPER CORNS
A thin, salty dark brown sauce with a
distinctive fishy smell, which is used
extensively in Thai and Vietnamese cookery.
It is made from small fish that have been
fermented in the sun. Fish sauce replaces
salt in many recipes.
These are fresh white noodles, they do not
require a lot of cooking.
This is a paste made from ground chillies
and salt. This can also be used as an
ingredient or an accompaniment.
These are available from most Asian
Supermarkets and have a slight
aniseed taste.
KAFFIR LIME LEAVES
TAMARIND
WATER CHESTNUTS
These are dark green, shiny, double leaves
which have a very pungent perfume. They
are rather thick and must be sliced very
finely for use as a garnish, or added whole
in a curry.
Tamarind has a fruit, tart flavour and is a
large, brown bean like pod. It is available as
a dried shelled fruit, a block of compressed
pulp or as a puree or concentrate.
Small white crisp bulbs with a brown skin.
Canned water chestnuts are peeled and
will keep for about 1 month, covered in
the refrigerator.
GARAM MARSALA
A blend of spices, usually consisting of some
combination of cinnamon, cumin, pepper,
cloves, cardamom, nutmeg and mace.
It can be bought already blended from
supermarkets, but it is best freshly made. It
is usually added towards the end of cooking.
LEMON GRASS
TOFU
An aromatic fresh herb that is used in curry
pastes, stir fries and soups. Trim the base,
remove the tough, outer layers and finely
slice, chop or pound the white interior.
Whole stems can be added to soups or
curries. Dried lemon grass needs to be
soaked in water, but the flavour of fresh
is superior.
Tofu, or bean curd, is a high protein, low fat
food made from soya beans. It is available in
very firm or soft blocks and is either fresh or
vacuum-packed. It takes on the flavour of
the spices and sauces it is cooked with.
GREEN GINGER WINE
An Australian made alcoholic sweet wine
infused with finely ground ginger.
TURMERIC
This is best known in its powdered form and
is often used to colour food. It has a bitter
flavour and it is also available fresh as a
root, rather like ginger, which is peeled
and then grated and finely chopped.
HOISIN SAUCE
LYCHEES
This sauce is a thick sweet Chinese
barbecue sauce made from a mixture of
salted black beans, onions and garlic.
Delicious fruit with a light texture and
flavour, peel away the rough skin, remove
the seed and use. They are also available
in cans.
HOIKKIEN NOODLES
Also known as fukkien, these are thick,
yellow and rubbery in texture. They are made
from wheat flour and are cooked and lightly
oiled before being packaged and sold. The
noodles need to be broken up
RICE WINE VINEGAR
Milder than most western vinegars, it
usually has an acidity of less than 4%.
It has a mild, sweet, delicate flavour
and is made from rice.
