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 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.

Last week I made the Simmered Greens with Soy Dashi and Katsuobushi (Ohitashi) recipe from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s The Wok.

The recipe was super easy, and I thought tasted fine, but Megan did not like it. 2 stars ★★☆☆☆

Last week I made the Easy Tortilla “Jian Bing” recipe from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s _The Wok_ cookbook.

The flavors were familiar to my US breakfast palate, but with a note of something unfamiliar, I think from the hoisin. Very good, 4 stars ★★★★☆

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 ★★★★☆

Thoughts on making J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s Sichuan Málà (Hot and Numbing) Chile Oil recipe from _The Wok_.

Good (what chile oil isn't??), but more work than I like. 4 stars ★★★★☆
