Felt more motivated than usual to cook this past week, made a few recipes from The Woks of Life and elsewhere.

Hunan pork and tofu - taste pretty similar Sichuan food, which is unsurprising since the provinces are quite close to each other. Pan fried tofu is kinda a pain to prepare but taste so damn good. Points to me for adding some black wood-ear mushroom, always a tasty thing to stir fry.

Also made stir-fried bok choy with tofu skin as a side to a different meal. A good add-in to a veggie dish.

Probably maple glazed salmon. We made a giant seafood order last week as many wholesale vendors are now selling retail at similar prices. We added a couple of marinades with our order, thinking that it would come smothered on the fish (since you specify the marinade on the same line as other instructions for the fish such as filleting). But it turns out that they come separately -_- and unlabeled so I can only guess this is a maple one. Regardless it tasted delicious, especially with some sweet potato wedges to mop up the extra sauce.

Tofu with black bean sauce, and soy-glazed eggplant. Redux of pan-fried tofu in a different sauce. Since I was frying tofu, I decided to double-down and fry some eggplant too, which is even more annoying. But the results are soooo 下饭.
