I saw an amazing-looking recipe on TikTok and did a little research to back it up and confirm the quantities. While a lot of recipes online suggest 2 varieties of chilis, he uses 3 – I’m sure his is better. The number of chiles I list below makes a sauce that has a nice level … Read more
My friend Tim and I decided to cook dinner instead of always getting carryout. Since I had a cauliflower in the fridge to use up, I went looking for an interesting new recipe and found this one on Gobble. Since their boxes come with some of the items pre-prepped, I had to guess on the … Read more

Another incredibly yummy dish from The Woks Of Life. And now that I’ve got a pantry stocked with Chinese essentials, it comes together pretty easily. The most time consuming parts are slicing your steak and prepping your green beans. But even those don’t take that long. LOL Chicken with Green Beans is almost the same, … Read more
I’ve been on a Chinese food kick lately, mostly working off recipes on the Woks of Life website, which was recommended to me by Theresa Mah. Their pad thai proclaimed to have “authentic” flavor, so I made it as directed, including the dried shrimp. As soon as I dumped the stuff in the pan though, … Read more
