Wok you man!

Bought a small wok pan today, damn its very different to cook with a pan so thin, the whole kitchen was engulfed in smoke when I put oil and curry paste in the pan :P

Also bought a new curry paste, asked the lady in the shop which would go well with beef since that's what I eat the most
She recommended the Massaman Curry Paste which tastes really well and is really mild heat-wise compared to the red one

I added 2-3 tblspoons of oil to the wok, and a tablespoon of curry paste - let it dissolve to make a "sauce"
Added 150g kebab meat, a handful of black beans, and a handful of sliced mushrooms and let it all cook through
I the added the white veg known as Daikon, also known as Chinese radish.. its basically a giant radish with no pigment, tastes like a normal radish almost
I let the radish fry for a few seconds so it wouldn't go all rubbery and stay crisp

The radish flavor didn't suit this dish though, but that's what this journey is all about, trial and error
