Lo Mein FAIL

**bullmama** · 06-05-2015, 03:12 PM

So I got some nice lo mein noodles from the asian grocer, was looking forward to making some from scratch. I found a recipe that sounded pretty good-- but man it was NASTY tasting!!!! SOUR

I had to throw in about 1/2 cup of yoshida's original gormet sauce to try to save it. Still tastes pretty bad though.

FAIL!!!

Here was the ingredients, from frugalfeeding, I doubt I will be trying anymore recipes
Ingredients:

200g egg noodles
100g leftover chicken
3 tbsp dark soy sauce
2 tbsp sesame oil
juice of 1 lime
3 tbsp vegetable oil
thumb sized piece of ginger, sliced
1 clove of garlic, sliced
300g beansprouts
3 spring onions, roughly sliced
½ tsp salt
1 tsp soft brown sugar

However my dish LOOKS good, it just tastes awful!!!!

Interesting! I wonder if it was too much lime juice? Was it supposed to have a sweet and sour flavor to it w/the brown sugar? Well, that's what cooking is all about...trying recipes and having fun and warning others(!!). Some turn out, some don't. On to the next recipe, @bullmama!

It looks delish!! but, I too have made things that looks great and taste horrid!! At least you tried! We all have flops, I tried to make sausage gravy and it was like glue, my hubby tried to gag it down and I threw mine in the trash! But still don't stop me from trying new things.

I think I do not like sesame oil or mine was racid. I just did not like the flavor combination at all! It tasted nothing like chow mien or LO mein I've ever had and I've had a lot!

It was just nasty.

Hey @Kelly, I bet Joe would eat it!

He would have thrown some hot sauce on it like everything else, and ate the whole plate!! I know when he really don't like what I have cooked. Although he will eat it, he smother's in his Frank's Red Hot. Or worse yet, Ketchup!! lol @bullmama
