October 2020 Recipe
Whoo-boy, I’m six days late with this one! Many apologies, but in my defense we’re in the middle of a pandemic and time seems to mean nothing these days. Monday could be 12 years long and then you blink and it’s Saturday.
Anyways, Grace & I have decided to stick with the one recipe a month strategy again, given that so many of our lives are a bit chaotic these days.
For October we’ll be making:
- Henry Hugh’s Lotus Root with Sugar Snaps, p. 139
You can also check out the Recipe Schedule, where we’ve posted the recipes through the end of the year!

September 2020 Recipe
We’re going to stick with one recipe per month again for September – we know everyone has a lot going on!
This month we’ll be making:
- Vegetarian Spring Rolls, p. 210
As always follow along with the discussion on our Facebook page, and as an extra incentive we just announced a giveaway for a gorgeous Newquist Forge wok! The announcement is on Facebook as are details for how to enter.
August 2020 Recipe
Happy August! Both Grace and I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy. We’ve decided to keep the monthly recipe to one dish during the pandemic, we know people have a lot going on right now. This month we’ll be making:
- Mrs. Miu’s Stir-Fried Fish and Eggplant, p. 114
As always, join our Facebook group to post photos, enter giveaways, ask questions, and join in the conversation.
July 2020 Recipe
It’s hard to believe we’re halfway through the year, and what a year it has been! First off – Grace and I both send best wishes and lots of love to our Wok Wednesdays family during these difficult times. Things might be hard, but hopefully a simple, delicious stir-fry can bring a bit of joy to you and your family.
This month we’re making Danny Chan’s Steamed Salmon with Lemon from page 202 of “Breath of a Wok”. Originally scheduled for April, we delayed this recipe as we weren’t sure of what would be available in supermarkets during the pandemic.
If you’re unable to find salmon you could also use sea bass, striped bass, or cod. It’s a nice quick meal for the summer heat and would go well with some rice and a stir-fried vegetable.
As always you can join in the conversation, enter our giveaways, ask questions, and share photos of your stir-fries on our Facebook page.
Happy wokking, and wear a mask!
Happy New Year!
Another year has come and gone and we are plugging our way through “The Breath of a Wok”! We’ve got a bunch of fun recipes coming up, and we actually went ahead and scheduled recipes through June. If you’re the kind of person who likes to work ahead, then check out the recipe schedule.
January brings the Chinese New Year on January 25th and this year is the Year of the Rat. To celebrate we’ll be cooking Virginia Yee’s Moo Shoo Pork with Mandarin Pancakes (page 84).
Don’t forget to join in all the fun on our Facebook page – that’s where you can share your photos, ask questions, and get tips.
Cheers to another year of stir-fry fun!
Recipes for the rest of 2019
Can you believe it, Grace and I are ahead of the ball! (Well, sort of, since I’m posting this on October 2nd)
We’ve got recipes scheduled through the end of year, so you can look ahead (and work ahead if that’s your style) to see what we’ll be up to for the next few months. As has been custom, we’re only doing one recipe a piece for November and December. We know the holidays get busy, so we always like the lighten the load. Bonus – November’s recipe makes for a great holiday gift!
So without further ado, check out our schedule for the rest of 2019:
October
- Auntie Bertha’s Ginger Drumettes with Oyster Sauce, p. 162
- Chau Chow-Style Pork Spring Moon, p. 81
November
- Candied Walnuts, p. 215
December
- Stir-Fried Shrimp with Garlic Sauce, p. 106
And as always, mosey on over to our Facebook page – that’s where the giveaways, discussion, and real magic happens.
August 2019 Recipes
Another month, another pair of delicious recipes! We’ve got one thats a bit more challenging and one that is always a crowd pleaser!
- Danny Chan’s Ginger and Scallion Crabs, p. 184
- Kung Pao Chicken, p. 74
The key to the Ginger and Scallion Crabs are fresh blue crabs, which can be difficult to find if you don’t live near a coastal area. Feel free to substitute other fresh crab as you can find it (eg. Dungeness), but we definitely recommend staying away from previously-frozen crab.
As always, join in the conversation, post your photos, and enter the monthly giveaway on our Facebook page.
July 2019 Recipes
Holy moly its already July! Hope you’re beating the heat and not melting like those of us living in the Southern US, but either way summer is one of the best times to fire up your wok.
This month we’re making:
- Shrimp and Pine Nuts Shang Palace, p. 114
- Mama’s Noodles with Mushrooms and Ham, p. 123
We’ve also got a great giveaway donated by one of our very own Wok Wednesdays members Jason Wong, owner of HCS Food Co. He’s donated TWO jars of delicious Chili Oil Sauce that will go to two lucky WW members at the end of the month.
