Try it out (kinda): Hellofresh 20

Reviewing:  

Szechuan pork and green Brean stir fry with peanuts and Jasmine rice

1 serving prepared 

*Here's what you get:


Ground pork 
Green beans
Ginger 
Peanuts 
Szechuan paste (not used)
Jasmine rice 
Scallions 
Sweet soy glaze (not used)

Substitutes:
1 tbsp Honey 
1 tsp Orange and ginger seasoning
2 tbsp Tamari

The rice:

The full bag of rice was prepared because the other half will be used in tomorrow's dinner. This went pretty quick and was a 18-minute cook.

The protein and green beans:

The ground pork was quick to cook and was started during the second half of the rice cooking time so everything was completed around the same time. 

The peanuts were run through a food processor to make cooking easier.  The honey was mixed with some tamari and the orange ginger seasoning before adding to the meat.


The green beans were added during the second half of cooking time with the lid on. Some of the peanuts went in at this point. The rest were saved for the end and added when the Scallion on the plate.

The plate:


This wasn't exactly a Hellofresh meal because of all the changes made. But I needed to omit gluten and didn't have time to make my own Szechuan paste or sweet soy glaze. Still, I think the dish came out great because I already like the orange ginger combination with pork.

Cheese tortilla party

Making:  Cheese tortilla! 6 servings prepared. Here's what I have: 284 Grams of king Arthur masa harina 60 Grams cheese powder  30 Grams butter powder  419 grams hot water  Preparation: The dry ingredients were combined in the mixing bowl. With the stand mixer set to stir I slowly added the hot water until the dough ball formed. Once everything was well Incorporated the adult wall was divided into six portions. A damp paper towel was placed over the dough so it didn't try out as the tortillas were cooked.  Using a parchment lined tortilla press each dough ball was pressed just before cooking on the Comal. Each side was allowed to cook for 30-45 seconds before flipping. This allowed each side to dry out just enough. The second cook was done until the tortilla puffed up and Browning was beginning to form.  The plate! - Kris
