Wok with Yan

Wok with Yan was a Chinese cooking show starring Stephen Yan that almost exclusively showed recipes for stir fry. The show was produced in Vancouver, Canada by the CBC in the 1980s.
The show was famous because Canada has had few well known Canadian cooking shows and in each episode, Yan had a different pun on the word "wok" on his apron. Some of the favorite puns included "Wok & Roll", "Wokking my baby back home", "Men at Wok", "Wok around the Clock", and "Wok the heck". He always invited an audience member to come up and eat with him near the end of each episode (there was a ticket draw in the studio audience to sit with him).
