Meet Marcus Tan

I grew up eating at hawker centres, where one uncle made one dish for thirty years and made it perfectly. That obsession with a single plate is what I try to bring home.

Most home cooks under-heat their wok and then wonder why it tastes steamed instead of seared. So I rebuilt every recipe around the heat your burner can actually hit — and what to do when it can't.

"Heat is the whole recipe. Get the wok screaming and almost everything else forgives itself."
