I was really excited about this one. I really was. This was
our first really disappointing meal.
There were several things we didn’t like about this one and
we made very few changes to it. We couldn’t find fresh mint or cilantro at the
grocery store on shopping day so just didn’t use them.
First, and probably
the most obvious, was that it was completely over powered by the ginger. I like
a little bit of ginger flavor in my Chinese food, but this was waaaayyy too
much! It also had a strange flavor from the five spice powder. It was like
there was too much spice and not enough actual taste. It struck me as amazing
that something this strong could be a bit tasteless. The Boston Lettuce was not
nearly as structurally sound as the picture led me to believe either. We not
only didn’t like the taste, but it didn’t fill us up either. This was
advertised as a lunch meal, not an appetizer.
It was, however, easy enough to make and did make enough for two
servings of leftovers the next day (Lucky us, we got to eat it twice.)
And we hated it so much, we forgot to take a picture. (sorry)
