is it a non-stick wok?

If its an Aluminium pan and the non stick coating has worn off there is nothing to do but buy a new one.

LOL @ not stick wok

Rub in a little olive oil via a piece of kitchen roll onto the surface to seal it. If that doesn`t work, it`s time to buy a new wok.

[Mick-Talbot]

Don't buy a non stick wok this time

If it is a cast iron wok ,( the best kind,) then it needs to be 'seasoned'

Once it is seasoned , NEVER !! clean it with detergent, just wipe out with a kitchen towel after use while still warm. If it still sticks season it again, the seasoning will need to be repeated every few months ( and if you ever use detergent to wash it. )

[EDDIE51]

By the way never wash a Wok , Aluminium or iron/steel in a dish washer , just once in a dishwasher will ruin the coating or seasoning. I work in a Pro kitchen and we have 30 woks all cast iron so I do know what I am talking about.

cheers eddy i think its cast iron, not 100% will get it cleaned up and seasoned tomorrow.

Non-stick woks (those with a non-stick coating) don't make a lot of sense to me. Woks are used over (very) high heat but stuff with non-stick coatings should be used over low to medium heat. See the problem?
