Last week I made Nước Chấm for the bún trộn tôm recipe from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s The Wok cookbook.
We’re already familiar with nước chấm, but I like having a recipe for it on hand instead of searching the internet whenever I want to make some.
Friday I made the San Francisco-Style Vietnamese American Garlic Noodles recipe from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s The Wok cookbook.
Feedback ranged from “fine” to “really good!” 3–4 stars ★★★☆☆
