  • Lion’s Head Noodles

    Lion’s Head Noodles

    There’s a more complex Fuchsia Dunlop recipe for these as well that is worth trying, but this was excellent. I also used pork shoulder minced in the processor to get…

  • Dan Dan Noodles

    Dan Dan Noodles

    Better than my previous attempt of these, and because I was lazy and added no words back then I have no idea why. I remember that it felt curiously straightforward…

    Wholesome and tasty. Added some extra sauerkraut and a sprinkle of Hungarian paprika to finish. Would love to keep the cabbage more whole. Perhaps just by cooking it for a…

  • Pomme Dauphinoise

    Pomme Dauphinoise

    This recipe feels authoritative. Not experimental, not “here’s a quick stab at it“. More “this is how you make a pomme dauphinoise“. From the wording, including story of it being…
