Nah, just flat induction. No heat on the sides but I mange ok, I'm sure my wok technique is probably terrible but no one's complained so far.

At home wok technique is just flip the stuff in the air with a thin steel wok. Proper commercial wok technique you pull the wok over the ring of the burner to save your arm muscles cos proper woks are thicker steel and pretty heavy.

You can't do that at home so do whatever works. The most important part is to keep the food moving.

Is that what you have? I have kind of given up on using a wok at home, even on the gas burner of my (outdoor) grill the flames don't go high enough for the sides of the wok to be sufficiently hot.
