The CookingBites recipe challenge: soya beans/products

[Morning Glory]

Not at all; my congratulations for having attempted something way out the Ohio comfort zone!
Looking at the recipe (and I've never made it) I'd say there's way too much soy sauce and too much 5 spice powder. That's where too much flavour comes from.

1 cup of soy sauce? Yikes that's a lot.

No wonder you're thinking too much...

I'm just making up a dish I've made before that used Chinese 5 spice as well and only after I added it to the orange juice did I remember that we preferred the homemade 5 spice blend to the shop bought version, so I'm not so sure how well mine will turn out either.

Edit: that's almost 3tbsp of soy sauce per portion!

See what you mean, looks like that ingredients list belongs to at least double, possibly triple the amount of meat stated in the recipe!

Problem I find with not liking a recipe the first ime I make it is that if it’s too much on the “Dont like it” side of things then even if I fix it on the next go I can still taste what I didn’t like about it from last time.

Not sure if that makes sense, I’ll have another go - If I really don’t like a recipe the first time I make it even if I fix it the problems next time it’s too late, the flavours remind me of the blurgh sensation from before.

Ok I give up, I think some of you will know what I mean

Agree with all the above. I looked at the recipe this morning before I read these comments and immediately thought too much soy sauce and too much 5 spice powder

Sorry I haven't entered anything so far. All sorts if issues at home have prevented me. I have plenty of ideas though!

You/I got lucky because your choice of soy is something we use a lot of, literally everyday plus, and this is the critical bit, I'm in-between courses at the moment. A week today and lessons start up again and my free time disappears. So I have been able to get back into the kitchen and cook again.

This isn't an entry, but just to show what silken tofu is good for...

I made this a day or so before the challenge was announced (since then all sorts of domestic issues have prevented me from entering). Hopefully, I may be able to make at least one other entry.

Here’s one I’ve been dying to make since…I first learned about it when badjak posted on Friday

Recipe - Filipino Chicken Adobo

Very quick, great for a weeknight meal, as long as you remember to get the chicken marinating ahead of time.

Quite a flavorful dish as well, especially for so few ingredients. MrsT absolutely loved it, and I rather enjoyed it myself, and that’s saying something, since I usually don’t like soy-saucy things all that much.
