Monday I made J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s Zha Cai Rousi Miàn (Sichuan Pork and Pickle Soup) recipe from The Wok.

I thought it was quite tasty given how simple it was. The zha cai added an appreciable spiciness to the broth. 4 stars ★★★★☆

Last Sunday I made the Superior Stock from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s The Wok cookbook.

The hardest part was acquiring and using pig’s trotters. Getting them fresh and pre-sliced at Super H Mart would have made that much easier.

Monday I made J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s Egg Drop Soup recipe from The Wok.

It came out exactly right, but egg drop soup does not excite in this house. 3 stars ★★★☆☆

Yesterday I made the Everyday Chicken and Ginger Stock recipe from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s The Wok cookbook. This was in preparation for the Egg Drop Soup recipe.

I like his suggestion to use a whole chicken, saving the raw breast meat and the cooked dark meat for other uses.

Monday I made J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s Chicken and Ginger Soup with Rice Cakes recipe from The Wok.

My parents were visiting for this one. Most at the table enjoyed it. I think Megan would have appreciated punchier flavor.

Monday I made J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s Korean Rice Cake Curry Stew from The Wok.

The stew was good. Completely different from the Spicy Korean Rice Cake Stew, which was good for Megan, who liked it. 4 stars ★★★★☆

Last night I made the Spicy Korean Rice Cake Stew (Gungmul Tteokbokki) with Kimchi from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s The Wok cookbook.

Since we think Megan doesn’t like gochujang, I brought the stew to some friends. We thought it was delicious.

Last night I made Korean Soft Tofu and Kimchi Soup (Kimchi Soondubu Jjigae) from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s The Wok cookbook.

We think Megan doesn’t like kimchi or gochujang, and since this was too spicy for the kids, I don’t see myself making this again. I thought it was fine enough.

Last week I made the Katsuobushi Deviled Eggs recipe from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s The Wok cookbook.

I thought the end result was tasty, but Megan didn’t care for the fishiness of it. 3 stars ★★★☆☆
