This past week I made the Fried Brussels Sprouts with Fish Sauce, Shallots, and Chiles recipe from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s The Wok.
It was good! But I think next time I’ll roast the Brussels sprouts and shallots instead of frying. 4 stars ★★★★☆
Last night I raced the Atlanta Track Club Grand Prix 1 Mile.
I finished in 6:32, my best VDOT performance since 2023.
This past week I made the Vegetarian Eggplant, Mushroom, and Carrot Filling for Dumplings recipe from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s The Wok cookbook.
I thought they tasted good, but the softness of the filling meant that the dumplings lost their shape when taking a bite. 3 stars ★★★☆☆
Last week I made J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s My Mom’s Beef and Vegetable Filling for Dumplings recipe from his The Wok cookbook.
The dumplings were, again, good! My son happily ate them even knowing they had spinach and carrots in them. 4 stars ★★★★☆
