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 ★★★★☆
Went to Da Cocinita Magic Taco for dinner. It’s a food truck in a gas station parking lot and was hopping. You order at the truck, and let them know which car is yours. They bring your order to your car once it’s ready.
I got the chicken magic tacos, and they were good. Interestingly, they griddle cheese on the outside of the tortillas. The burritos looked really good, too.
