Monday I made the Sichuan Dry-Fried Beef from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s _The Wok_ cookbook.
The end result was delicious. My son loved it, Megan liked it, but didn’t care for the texture of the matchstick-cut beef. 4 stars ★★★★☆

Two weeks ago I made the Fried Broccoli with Honey and Balsamic Vinegar recipe from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s The Wok cookbook.
The end result was good, but, like the brussels sprouts, I’m not sure it’s any tastier than roasting. 4 stars ★★★★☆

This past week I made the Fried Brussels Sprouts with Fish Sauce, Shallots, and Chiles recipe from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s _The Wok_.
It was good! But I think next time I’ll roast the Brussels sprouts and shallots instead of frying. 4 stars ★★★★☆

They released fine from the pan, which was my biggest worry. I think I should’ve let them cook longer for more browning and less gumminess. These had a crisp bottom and less crisp top.

Trying my hand at “dumpwings” with some leftover frozen dumplings. This is where starchy water is used to cook potstickers such that a thin crispy layer results.

Last week I made the Pork and Shrimp Dumplings recipe from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s _The Wok_ cookbook.

Last week I made the Easy Tortilla “Jian Bing” recipe from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s _The Wok_ cookbook.
The flavors were familiar to my US breakfast palate, but with a note of something unfamiliar, I think from the hoisin. Very good, 4 stars ★★★★☆

Last week I made the Kimchi or Sauerkraut Buchimgae (Korean-Style Pancakes) recipe from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s The Wok cookbook.
