For later reference. The menu:
Beef tomato stir fry
Sichuan beef stir fry (the two above will use up one large discounted chunk of meat I have)
Scallion beef stir fry (a repeat)
(maybe something with chicken wings then?)
Sides:
Yuxiang eggplant
Garlic broccoli stir fry
Di san xian (potato, eggplant, paprika)
Updates on prior things:
15-minute noodles tasted excellent. I tried the SeriousEats noodle recipe with nutritional yeast, and while my noodles were a bit better, they wanted to stick to each other but not stay intact. (I suspect the flour we get here is different to what is made in the US.) Something – I think the nutritional yeast – also didn't play nicely with my digestive system and I had unbelievable quantities of gas. If I repeat, I'll try with less yeast.
Cantonese beef rice bowls were nice, albeit a bit boring, I guess. A bit more of a wintry "comfort food" type thing rather than what I enjoy.
Braised turnip bowls I used regular radish with, as I thought that'd be the better substitution. Tastes nice; the Sichuan-pepper infused oil and shiitake mushrooms are what hold this up. (I used oil ready-infused with Sichuan peppers, which I have ... a lot of, rather than use regular oil and toast my limited stash of Sichuan peppers in it like the recipe calls.)
Bean sprout stir fry – I think my beansprouts were a bit old? It ended up tasting not the best but still edible.
Garlic snow peas stir fry – I think my snow peas weren't quite what the recipe calls for, but it's still okay enough. It ended up a bit oily for my tastes with the sesame oil at the end.
