wok

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'chinese you may think but' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'western all right' is the wordplay.
'western' becomes 'w'.
'all right' becomes 'ok' (synonyms).
'w'+'ok'='WOK'

'it's' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for wok that I've seen before include "Stir-fry pan" , "Large Chinese frying pan" , "Chinese bowl-shaped frying pan" , "Pan used in Chinese cookery" , "pot" .)
