We haven’t eaten out in six months due to Covid isolation. We’ve all been craving the food at Kenji’s, a little Mom and Pop place that makes the best food, especially their tempura vegetables. So last night, I took a shot at a mock Kenji’s dinner and scored a hit.
I made my lettuce wrap chicken, omitting the water chestnuts, adding toasted cashews, and serving over steamed rice. We also had Maangchi’s easy bulgogi. You should check our her Youtube videos, website and cookbooks. She a hoot! www.maangchi.com
But the highlight of the night was the tempura vegetables. OMG! I only made our favorites, sweet potatoes and broccoli, but that was enough to send us into food comas. The dipping sauce was also judged by my very critical family and pronounced amazing. Far cry from the Asian dish I made last week that was almost inedible. Hey, win some, lose some.
