This one was a big experiment that ultimately failed. A result that was not completely unexpected, given that I was using a large number of new ingredients.
The intention was to make spicy calamari with a bok choy and tofu stir fry. It failed! That said the photo looks pretty good.
Topping:
- Pineapple cut calamari
- Szechaun Pepper
- Paprika
- Salt
- Olive oil
Stir Fry:
- Baby bok choy
- Shoe string Tofu
- Mushrooms
Stir Fry dressing:
- Ginger
- Garlic
- White Wine vinegar
I’m not going to tell you how to make a bad dish!
Score: One Beaker
Because I used frozen calamari they contained a small amount of water which destroyed the spicy flavour. Next time I’ll add some cornflour and pan fry them.
The tofu was awful! I can’t think of any way to save that one. Fresh tofu for sure next time.
The bok choy and mushrooms were ok, but pulled down by the tofu. The bok choy could be enhanced with some oyster sauce.
Overall, very ordinary. But only one beaker.
In terms of mess, it doesn’t help when I drop a few calamari on the floor. Overall it was a bit fiddly.
