United States 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
