Classic Kung Pao Fish
It is not for my taste. It also had different directions than I am used to. You have to cook the fish in a pan with oil. IMO it wasn’t worth the effort but it could just be my taste.

Beef Bulgogi Pilaf
Considwred this dish to be fairly bland & beef was fattier than I would have preferred (of course, that could just be the particular cut of meat... I personally do not cook with beef chuck).
