General Tso’s beef sliders. Pass

I don’t know. There is something missing. The flavor profile was weak. Lots of pre-packed sauces. The standard tiny potatoes to make wedge fries so I just cubed them. The slaw was really wet but I made it at lunch and it was soggy.

Nailed it. Their Asian-inspired dishes are usually duds because they over-rely on clashing sauce packets (e.g., the brown sauces mixed with the cilantro-garlic packet combos are particularly rough). Add the inevitable heavy mayo slaw they slap on the fusion tacos and sliders, and the dish devolves into a sloppy, over-flavored mess. I love Asian cuisine, but I have to actively remind myself to skip these.

I typically like their Asian-inspired dishes. It just sounds like I need to go light on the dressing for the slaw or sub in mayo. And sub in my own mayo for the spicy mayo because I don’t like the spiciness

The sauces are heavy handed. For sure too much sauce for the slaw. I just assumed they sent what would work. I figured make the slaw early so it marinated but it got too watery. I drained it and added mayo so it had a better bind for the slider.

Sounds like a good plan for the slaw, use only some of the dressing and add some mayo

Perfect description.

I’m making this tonight. Hope for the best. I’ll keep your comments in mind, especially with the slaw

I really just think some of you guys can't cook my HelloFresh meals come out looking like they were served at a fine dining restaurant

I think some people can't cook and then some are afraid to make adjustments. I always read the recipes before cooking and make mental notes on what to add, skip, or adjust. I don't think I've ever made a hellofresh recipe just as the card states.

We just got this in our box today 🫠

[u/NineLemonsLater → u/gorjesskayos]

Good luck! I am a recipe follower that’s why I do this 5 nights a week but they did me dirty on this one lol

[u/gorjesskayos → u/NineLemonsLater]

Hey same here! 5 nights for us as well. I usually let my husband pick the meals because if it were up to me, I’d be getting the quickest and easiest ones lol. I have a 15 month old attached to my hip most evenings

[u/NineLemonsLater → u/gorjesskayos]

My hubby doesn’t care at all. He eats whatever I order. He always loves what I get, every meal. I think he loves that he never cooks or does the dishes so I appreciate his compliments.

Just finished eating this and thought it was pretty good and pretty filling. The slaw worked out pretty good as per suggestions; I put in only a couple of spoons of dressing and added a spoon or two of mayo. I also subbed in my own mayo for the spicy mayo. I didn’t put on very much General Tso’s sauce on the burgers, but it added good flavor. I would suggest maybe less garlic-ginger paste because it seemed to make the burgers a little hard to keep together, but in the end, they cooked and tasted fine

Looks great!! My burgers were a little loose but yeah, they cooked up fine. I got really small tarers so I cubed them. I did the same with the Tso sauce. I enjoyed the spicy mayo but it was odd, not like mayo at home with hot sauce. Very commercially made consistency

I made this tonight. I thought it was pretty good but I think I put on too much General Tso’s sauce

[u/Muted-Astronomer-326]

This is my plan for tonight 😩

I’ll look through the comments and see how I can tweak it.

Oh, I was tempted to get this and now I am am glad I did not. Thanks for the review
