  • Lemongrass Infused Vegetable Pot Stickers & Sambal Apricot Sauce

    I love pot stickers so much!

    First attempt at learning Indian spices succeeded. First attempt at cooking Indian food from scratch failed. I hate it most when I write notes in shorthand, and when I look at the notes few months later, I have no idea what I wrote. SF = Stir Fry ! I requested my roommate to teach me again how to…
