Last week I made J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s Vietnamese Fish Braised in Fish Sauce Caramel recipe from The Wok.

I was really looking forward to this one but was disappointed by a definite bitterness. But maybe that’s how it’s supposed to taste? 2 stars ★★☆☆☆

Monday I made J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s Hot and Sour Soup from The Wok.

The soup was good and had enough ingredients in it to satisfy Megan, 4 stars ★★★★☆

This past week I made the Fried Brussels Sprouts with Fish Sauce, Shallots, and Chiles recipe from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s _The Wok_.

It was good! But I think next time I’ll roast the Brussels sprouts and shallots instead of frying. 4 stars ★★★★☆

Thoughts on making J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s Umami Oil (“XO Pepperoni Sauce”) from his _The Wok_ cookbook.

This is a long one. The recipe is mostly for the sauce with a note for making noodles with it. 4 stars ★★★★☆ for the sauce, mixed reviews for the noodles.
