The best oil for the wok is rice oil (because of its high smoke point, 490Â°F, 254Â°C). Peanut oil is not bad either and more commonly used. It is not healthy to heat any oil too far, so it's best to add the oil very shortly before adding products to the wok so the products can cool the oil during the stir frying.
A carbon or stainless steel wok spatula chuan or ladle hoak is standard. Carbon steel woks don't hold seasoning like cast iron; instead, you redevelop the seasoning with every use when cooking over high heat. Even so, it shouldn't scratch off that easily. You can reseason by cooking something with a bit of oil over very high heat (the wok should be smoking) until the bottom blackens.
