They went through the trouble of making a decent looking animation of swinging the wok around, along with some nice sizzling sound effects but they couldn't put at least a flat texture of some noodles or something in there?
This is such a minor detail but one I keep noticing it again and again and somehow it always annoys me a little.
Yeah, that is pretty strange. Perhaps the team thought it would look a little weird having a flat texture inside of a wok that someone was constantly tossing (unlike Tao-san who is simply deep-frying or draining noodles, or whatever it is he's doing), so they decided to do away with any wok contents at all.
Could it have been for technical reasons?
