Yesterday I made J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s Sichuan Smashed Cucumber Salad from The Wok.

It was good, but I’ll probably stick with a Splendid Table version I’ve been making. 3 stars ★★★☆☆

Sunday I made J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s Fragrant Scallion-Ginger Oil from The Wok.

On its own, the scallion-ginger oil is mild, but tasty. It’s much better in large quantities with lots of scallion slices. 3 stars ★★★☆☆

Last week I made the Asparagus and Tofu Salad with Málà Chile Oil Vinaigrette recipe from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s The Wok cookbook.

It was fine. The wontons with the same dressing were (of course) better. 3 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.

Two weeks ago I made the Scallion Pancake Breakfast Sandwiches recipe from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s _The Wok_ cookbook.

They were good. A little heavy, but I don’t mind that for breakfast. 4 stars ★★★★☆

This week I made the Chinese-Style Scallion Pancakes recipe from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s _The Wok_ cookbook.

More work than the Korean-style batter pancakes, and I don’t know when I would make them again, but tasty. 4 stars ★★★★☆
