We celebrated Tet a bit late with these three dishes from NYT Cooking: Pressure Cooker Vietnamese Caramel Pork and Eggs, Dua Gia (Pickled Bean Sprout Salad), and Smoky Stir Fried Greens. The pork is fabulous and gets a 5. The salad and greens are also very good, and both get a 4.

Braised Chili Marmalade Duck Legs with Brussels Sprouts from Epicurious. You do need to allow enough time for this to finish (it takes at least 2 1/2 hours), so not a quick weeknight dinner, but well worth the effort! We loved this, it gets a 5.

Chicken Tikka Masala Soup from the Denver Post 2/10/2021. This is a nice soup. A number of different spices, though we wonder if there should have been a bit more of each. We give this a 3.

Caramelized Plantains with Beans Scallions and Lemon from NYT Cooking. This dish has a nice combination of flavors. It may be that I did not roast the plantains long enough to get them really soft, but by the time they finished broiling in the second part they were pretty tough. We give this a 3 as cooked, but might try it again with longer roasting for the plantains.
