Two weeks ago I made the Fried Broccoli with Honey and Balsamic Vinegar recipe from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s The Wok cookbook.
The end result was good, but, like the brussels sprouts, I’m not sure it’s any tastier than roasting. 4 stars ★★★★☆
Friday starts my third training cycle of the year. This one targets the Atlanta Track Club’s Grand Prix Cross Country 5k in October.
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 ★★★☆☆
