Lo Mein FAIL
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!!!!
What's For Dinner?

Re: Lo Mein FAIL
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, [MENTION=1]bullmama[/MENTION]!

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 [MENTION=13]Kelly[/MENTION], 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 [MENTION=1]bullmama[/MENTION]

But it looks really delicious but yeah I understand sometimes it looks good but tastes horrible. No worries just try next time to cook better, it's all about trying, trying and trying.

Re: Lo Mein FAIL
Love how the recipe turns out. I need to try eating this at a restaurant. I never really believed I ate Lo Mein before. But I am willing to give it a try.

Mushroom a la Florentine
From the Italian term all Fiorentina, the French name a la Florentine (in the design of Florence) has been coined to ask dishes (usually of eggs or fish) that are presented on a bed of spinach and topped with.
Mornay Sauce (see `Fish Moley’ recipe below). A Florentine dish is usually sprinkled with cheese and browned lightly within the oven. [See details best fish and seafood]
In the Club kitchen, a Florentine may be a baked dish – prepared, cooked, or served with spinach and always topped with cheese.
If you're in need of time you'll replace the bechamel sauce with bottled Mayonnaise but the taste are going to be more `oily;
Clean and de-stem the spinach.
Grease an outsized baking dish with butter.
Layer the dish within the following order: onions -1/2 cup white sauce-spinach-fish (dark side down).
Squeeze juice of a lemon over the fillet.
Lay the mushroom on top of the fillet.
In a bowl combine: 1 cup bechamel sauce + cheese + Worcester sauce.
Spread this mixture over the mushrooms.
Place the baking dish during a preheated oven. Bake at 190 C (350 F) for 20 to 25-mins. the highest should be golden brown.
