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 ★★★★☆
Last week I made the Shrimp Topping for Crispy Chow Mein recipe from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s The Wok cookbook.
I doubt I’ll make this or the Shiitake and Bok Choy version again. It’s a fair amount of time and my family weren’t all that into it. 3 stars ★★★☆☆
Last week I made the Bún Trộn Tôm (Vietnamese Shrimp and Rice Noodles Salad) with Citrus and Herbs recipe from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s The Wok cookbook.
I thought it was good! I look forward to making this one again. 4 stars ★★★★☆
Thoughts on making the Egg Fried Rice with “The Mix” from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s The Wok cookbook.
It’s been a while, but it’s another well received dish! 4 stars ★★★★☆
Thoughts on making J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s Congee with Shrimp, Saffron, and Spanish Chorizo from The Wok.
As written, this paella-inspired congee is 🌶️🔥. I had high hopes for this one, but may need to tone down the heat to give it its best chance. 3 stars as is ★★★☆☆
