Last week I made the Crispy Fried Pork Belly recipe from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s The Wok cookbook.
Overall it was fine, 3 stars ★★★☆☆
I’d like to try it again and see if I can do better.
Last week I made the Pork and Shrimp Dumplings recipe from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s The Wok cookbook.
I thought these dumplings were very good. The steaming worked very well, and the post-steam panfry was very easy and delicious also. 4 stars ★★★★☆
Megan made tiny biscuits while I was on my Saturday run, so I made a trio of breakfast sandwiches: leftover pulled pork with Lexington-style bbq sauce, avocado with Thai prik nam som, and bacon with fig jam.
A few weeks ago I made the Yakisoba (Japanese Fried Noodles) recipe from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s The Wok cookbook.
We enjoyed this one. I think it had enough going on for Megan to like it, too. She definitely helped eat the leftovers. 4 stars ★★★★☆
Thoughts on making Zhajiang Miàn (Beijing “Fried Sauce” Noodles) from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s The Wok.
It was fine, 3 stars ★★★☆☆
