Today I cooked with Blue Apron, it's one of my favorite services and the only subscription box I subscribe to. If you haven't heard of it, it's a meal delivery service that gives you the ability too cook your own meals. It comes with all the ingredients needed minus the basics like salt, pepper and olive oil. All the ingredients are unprepared and it comes with a card with mostly simple, step by step instructions. It makes even the worst cook a great one! If anyone is interested send me an email at solos1020@gmail.com and I can hook you up with a free delivery! (I only have 4 left to give)
Today I made Stir-Fry Noodles. The ingredients were pretty basic and this was a fairly easy meal to prepare. I give it a 2/10 with 10 being the most difficult. The only issue I had today was that I didn't have all the tools needed to mince the ginger! As far as Blue Apron goes the ingredients were simple. Rice noodles, scallions, Gai Lan (Chinese broccoli), snow peas, Sriracha, sweet soy sauce, ginger, peanut butter, peanuts, and coconut milk powder.
All the veggies ended up being combined and cooked together (minus the green part of the scallion, I'll get to that later). The peanut butter, soy sauce, Sriracha and coconut milk mixture with water made a nice sauce, however I would have preferred a little more spice. Once the noodles cooked all the veggies and sauce were mixed together and the peanuts and green scallions were a garnish.
Overall I rate the meal a 8/10. Like I said it could have used a little more spice. If I had Sriracha on hand I would have definitely added more. I personally love peanuts so it wasn't too nutty for me. The only change I would have made was to chop the peanuts and heat them up for a minute or two on the stove!
