Pairing Notes: Asian dishes and Gewürztraminer are a classic pairing and we think this one tastes great.

Alan's Tips: For cooking this dish, it is best to fire up the wok as hot as you can get it. I have yet to find a stove from which I don't want a little more heat. Slower cooking will result in a mushy finished dish.
