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.

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.

Got some prep work done for this week’s The Wok recipe: Tempura Vegetables or Seafood.

From left to right: the tempura batter mix, soy-dashi sauce, gochugaru yogurt ranch, honey-miso mayo, and vinegar-caramel sauce.

Thoughts on making J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s Burnt Garlic Sesame and Chile Oil from his _The Wok_ cookbook.

We didn’t care for the sauce or the noodles. 1 star ★☆☆☆☆

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.
