Last week I made J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s Japanese Beef and Potato Stew (Nikujaga) recipe from The Wok.
The soup was good. It very much tasted like a Western stew with a Japanese broth. 3 stars ★★★☆☆
Last week I made the Simmered Greens with Soy Dashi and Katsuobushi (Ohitashi) recipe from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s The Wok.
The recipe was super easy, and I thought tasted fine, but Megan did not like it. 2 stars ★★☆☆☆
Went to the Candler Park La Fonda for family dinner. Still delicious!
Added Babygirl (East Lake) and Some Luck (Poncey-Highlands), both expected to open this year, to my Restaurants to Try list.
A few weeks ago I made J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s Simmered Kabocha Squash (Kabocha No Nimono) from The Wok.
Every time I’ve made kabocha squash, it has come out chalky and bland, without the natural sweetness I understand it’s supposed to have. This time was no different. 1 star ★☆☆☆☆
