Sliced Beef...stir-fried in a sauce of soy, ginger, a touch of Sichaun pepper, ginger, garlic, and oyster sauce.
Steamed Jasmine rice and broccoli.
It smelled delicious...was easy to prepare...looked appealing.
Well, as they say, looks can be deceiving.
Personally, I blame the oyster sauce.
In my life I have put maybe 5 things in my mouth which have truly been gag-nasty.
This dish is one of them.
...and I have had Mongolian Beef dishes out in Chinese-American restaurants...and enjoyed them...
The reason I blame the oyster sauce is because of Nuc Mam in Vietnamese cooking.
Which is also gag-nasty.
Nuc Mam is fish sauce, and it is in everything.
This was so bad even the cat said
"OH...HELL,NO!!!"
So...threw the rest of it out...also the oyster sauce (...which I won't be putting in anything else...)
No wonder Genghis Khan was always in a mood.
Yeah...
Lesson Learned.
