To achieve wok hei requires WAY more heat than you get on any conventional range, gas or otherwise.
To do it with a portal butane range, you’d need to modify it for much higher output. He’s right to recommend this for a home cook, but you aren’t going to get the kind of wok hei a cantoneese pro chef talks about on it – it will just be easier to use a real, proper, round-bottom wok than on the typically-flat tops of gas ranges.
Look up what actual wok burners look like. It is not similar to the flame you get on a gas range. It’s a totally different thing.
And… I see the issue. Those wok burners you refer to are pretty much standard issue in asian houses. I just looked up ‘gas ranges’ and chuckled at them. No wonder you can’t cook anything on them.
something to note about portable propane stoves. they are sold in different BTU ranges. i purchased the highest BTU version available specifically for wok and searing use.
searing is great so far and i hope to have a good wok soon. 🤠
