supreme soy sauce chow mein

January 26, 2022

Jump to Recipe

Here's a quick little recipe in honor of Lunar New Year next week. It's true that technically speaking, we should be eating chang shou mian, but it's also true that supreme soy sauce chow mein is impossibly delicious and impossibly easy, and far and away my new favorite noodle dish, so in my humble opinion, we're just fine if we decide to ...

Last weekend, the folks behind my favorite shop in LA, Now Serving, hosted a bake sale to raise funds for Australian bushfire relief. I've felt at a loss lately as to what to do as the fires ...

We have lately entered the phase that I assume is a rite of passage for all parents, where at least part of our dinner a couple times a week is "whatever our toddler didn't eat."  (This is especially because one of his favorite new phrases is "No-no," which he uses often and with delight.)  All things considered, it's actually a fortunate turn of ...

As it turns out, one of the happier features of law school and, now, law firm life is the dependable occurrence of free lunches at least once a week--whether for a talk, or a deposition, or just inexplicably placed in a breakroom and abandoned for three hours (that's okay, I'll still eat it). As someone who will happily consume anything that's ...

Last weekend we took our first big trip with B3 in tow, up to Berkeley for my brother's graduation.  It wasn't until we were on our way back, winding our way through the mountains on the last stretch of the I-5, that I realized how much Los Angeles has started to feel like home.  This

As of a couple of weeks ago, I'm officially back at work. Unlike his mama, B3 thought the transition was a total breeze -- he sees me off to work every morning with such blasé cheerfulness that I'm wondering whether I shouldn't be at least a teensy offended. (He is, however, in a war of attrition with his Public Enemy No. 1, The Bottle, so ...

Our Christmas tree is up!  It's the first real, live, non-plastic tree to make an appearance in our household.  We chose it in about five seconds flat last Saturday with babe in tow, in the signature haste of panicky new parents who are still not very good at this "taking the baby out into the world" thing.  (Luke, meanwhile, was just passed out ...
