Web and app developer. Coffee, beer, and running, in any order.
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 ★★★★☆
@joninalbany@beige.party 2 quarts total. I agree, it was a lot of ingredients.
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.
Started Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky.
I read this in high school and liked it. Reading again for book group.
Ate at Pepper Roost. The heat here is honest. They were out of the Flaming Rooster, so I got the Very Hot, and it was very hot! I’ll go Hot or Medium next time. Additionally, the chicken was fresh out of the fryer and very crunchy.
