Last week I made J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s The Best Wonton Soup from The Wok.
This is apparently THE recipe for Superior Stock, but, to me, the wontons were the the best part. 4 stars ★★★★☆
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.
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.
Added Pepper Roost to my Restaurants to Try list.
