June Recipe Schedule

Happy June! Exciting news – we just celebrated the 5th Anniversary of Wok Wednesdays! Can you believe that we’ve been stir-frying for more than five years now!? This photo below is from the very first time Grace and I met back in April of 2012.

June signals the start of the summer produce season for many people and stir-frying is a fantastic way to cook the bounty. We have two recipes to make again this month, but I also want to encourage you to try your hand at some free-style stir-fries with your local fresh veggies. Here are our June recipes:

• Susan Lin’s Summer Long Beans with Eggs, p. 140
• Susanna Foo’s Mango Chicken, p. 78

As always, join in the discussion, ask questions, and share your photos on our Facebook page.

Best,

Matt

April Recipes

Spring has sprung, and here at Wok Wednesdays we’re getting ready to move into some of the lighter, more seasonally-appropriate stir-fries. April’s recipes from The Breath of the Wok are:

• Auntie Lil’s Stir-Fried Lotus Root with Chinese Bacon, p. 147
• Cousin Doreen’s Braised Spareribs and Asparagus, p. 174

You should be able to find lotus root and Chinese bacon at most Asian grocery stores, or online from specialty food retailers. If you can’t find fresh lotus root however, don’t substitute for frozen.
