I used to work at a Chinese restaurant as a delivery driver. My boss made the best kung pao chicken that I’ve ever had in my life (better than Kenji Lopez-Alt’s recipe, which I’ve made several times). He would never give me the recipe. Like, dude, really? I’m not gonna open up a Chinese restaurant! I’ve spent a long time trying to duplicate it. If I ever do crack the code, I’ll post the recipe.

    They’ve taken a beating for sure. We picked them up years ago in Vietnam. I might go ahead and do that this weekend.

      I have a bad habit of sticking wooden things in the dishwasher. I might do the same with my fish spatulas haha.

      Please do, for your own sakes! It looks like you pulled them off an old fencepost. I personally wouldn’t use mineral oil, I use coconut oil on all of our wood utensils, but I suppose it’s personal preference. Or, better yet, get some stainless steel or fiberglass ones that you can throw in the dishwasher.
