Thursday I made the Hiyashi Chūka recipe from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s The Wok cookbook. It’s a cold ramen noodle dish topped with veggies and a salty-sweet sauce.
I liked it. Megan said it was “better than expected,” and, again, I’m taking that as approval. 4 stars ★★★★☆

Two weeks ago I made J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s Sesame Chicken Noodles My Way (Or Your Way) recipe from The Wok cookbook.

Last week I made the Spicy Shirataki and Cucumber Salad recipe from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s The Wok.
