      @Filthy:

      I made a stir fry today. I'd rate it a meh/10

      Without knowing what you where going for maybe check out this Video, he makes a Sauce at the beginning that is a really nice stir fry base that packs a ton of flavour and ads that glazy shiny texture, with or without the orange and maybe tailored to what you intend to do:

      Or for more Meta and DIY approach maybe check out Alex´s Video on the matter of stir fry:

        @Steffen wow thanks. I was just trying to use up a bunch of odds and ends in the fridge I had bought last week. I just used this stir fry sauce from a jar.

          Youre welcome, the homemade sauce elevates the leftovers to a mighty fine meal, 15/10 basicly  😃 I really dont like Leftovers, I dont know why, never liked them so I always try to redo the dish and make it something else, that gets me exited to use the leftovers.

            That Panda Express orange chicken is one of my favorite things ever. I ate it four times in a week when I was in California back in November.  🙂

            I'll have to try that one specifically.

              I´m going to make that recipe tomorrow, I planned on doing it today and bought everything but I got sucked into an online gaming session with some friends and wasnt to motivated to start cooking when we finished at 9:30 PM  😃 I´ll keep you posted.

              I cant do a comparison though, we have a lot of US Chains over here but Panda Express never made the jump and i´ve never been to the US to date.

                They actually sell the sauce in the grocery store now. Maybe you can import it on Amazon or something?

                    Bonnie and I drooling over your Hasselback Harissa Roast Butternut Squash. Any chance you can point us towards a recipe?

                        The promised orange chicken, i like the orange nuance but the General Tsos I made a view days ago is a tad finer and more subtile in flavor, both are almost the same amount of work so I would redo the General Tsos over the Orange.

                              Partly inspired by Giles and partly by them beeing on every social media platform all the time, hasselback potatos, creme fraiche sauce and cheese sausages form my freezer with a local ketchup (a fancy one that comes in a glas)  😉

                                      That is a heartwarming looking dish @Giles, I would shovel that up.

                                      @Steffen homemade creme fraiche is one of my favorite little secrets. It's simple and so much better than store bought.

                                      1 cup heavy cream, 1 T buttermilk. shake it in a glass jar and let it sit on the counter for 8-24 hours depending on how thick you want it. mix in any flavors you want and add to eggs, soup, tacos, everything.

                                      so good
