cooking asian

last night i was searching through one of my cook books and came across a picture of mandarin orange chicken stir-fry. it looked A-mazing.
so i decided to try it out.
i went to the store and bought the ingredients (which is a rare thing, i like to cook with what i have, but i was craving so i splurged)
let me just say
it turned out horrible! with a capital H.
it didn't look like the picture at all. and i really hope it wasn't supposed to taste that way cause i should just get rid of that cook book right now if it did.
but i have kind of noticed a trend in my cooking.

i am not very good at cooking asian dishes.

i wonder why?
does anyone else have this problem with a certain style of food? maybe it is just me.

i guess from now on i will just stick to asian take out.

  1. i'm bad at a lot of things, but not a specific genre. i liked this post, though. good luck next time, and carrie has a fantastic sweet & sour chicken dish if you want to make something asian that you can't mess up!

  2. True Melissa! My sister eats it at least once a week. She's funny.

    I also have a semi intense but super good orange chicken recipe (also fried though). I'd be happy to pass it along if you are interested.

    I'm plenty bad and plenty of things. I stress out if I have to cook a mass of meat of any sort that isn't going in the crockpot.
