Challenge / Cook a new meal every day for 30 days.
Today I learnt never to cook when tired. Pretty much everything went wrong with this one (here’s the recipe).
Notice the ingredients tucked in the back of this photo?
Most of those – both soy sauces and the wine vinegar – I neglected to add to the dish. I didn’t even realise till I took the photo!
When shopping, I had no idea what “hot vegetable stock” was, but I figured it was a spicier version of a vegetable stock cube. Only when I had to add 700ml of a stock cube (!) did I realise they wanted me to make a liquid out of it, and heat it. Misunderstandings like this caused the final time to more than double and the end result tasted pretty mediocre.
However it’s over now and tomorrow is another day. I’ll be tackling lasagne, which I’m sure is much easier!
