Web and app developer. Coffee, beer, and running, in any order.
Last week I made J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s Simmered Daikon Radish (Daikon No Nimono) recipe from The Wok.
It was unfortunately on the bland side. Maybe could be better reducing the broth to more of a glaze. As is, 2 stars ★★☆☆☆
Coffeeneuring Challenge 2025 ended November 24. The theme for this year seems to have been “what has happened to the cappuccino?”
Here’s a summary of my rides this year.
Wednesday I made J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s Miso Soup recipe from The Wok.
It was good! More miso-y than restaurant miso soup I’ve had. Unfortunately I’m the only one in the family that likes miso soup. 3 stars ★★★☆☆
Last week I made J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s Crispy Fried Tofu with Broccoli and Garlic Sauce recipe from his The Wok cookbook.
The flavor of the dish was good, but something was off about the ingredient amounts, particularly the sauce. It was too much liquid. 3 stars ★★★☆☆
Two weeks ago I made the Shrimp-Stuffed Fried Tofu recipe from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s The Wok cookbook.
The end result was very good! 4 stars ★★★★☆
