Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Wok-fried noodles (Char kway teow)

    • metacritic on September 18, 2024

      Excellent outcome. Recipe needs some work. First, I never saw an indication of when to add the sauce. I did so soon after adding the noodles. Second, it's a massive amount for a home wok so unless you have a huge wok and serious firepower, you might want to cook this in two portions. I didn't and the outcome was delicious even so. The flavors exceeded some of the dishes I've had from hawker stalls in Singapore, so that's no small accomplishment. One other small note, I used red shallots rather than banana shallots as I'm sure that's what you would find in Singapore more readily.

  • Crispy salt and pepper tofu with chilli

      Used the fly by jing mala spice mix instead of the sichuan. Very tasty. Might be good with more greens.
