I'm definitely up for comparing notes! I'm trying another Chinese dish tonight and I have high hopes. I'm such a sucker...lol!Sarah - The Home Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07932762716036801924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32196802.post-91743460918313380342008-10-29T13:17:00.000-04:002008-10-29T13:17:00.000-04:00I have never had a hit either with Asian food, tho...I have never had a hit either with Asian food, though I have tried very little of it at home. Maybe I should revisit it and see what I can come up with. We can compare notes. You actually do try though, and I commend you like crazy for that. Most non-Asians don't attempt it at home.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12439733116558336290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32196802.post-23531848767403205402008-10-29T11:14:00.000-04:002008-10-29T11:14:00.000-04:00Patsyk - I've never had a hit...I'll have to check...Patsyk - I've never had a hit...I'll have to check your blog for some hits and try them myself.<BR/><BR/>Kristi - I think you might be right about the extra veggies. Good point!<BR/><BR/>Mary Ellen - Doh! I saw that you said you doubled the liquid, but I think that was reflected in your posted recipe. I never checked the link you posted since you printed the recipe with what I assumed was your modifications. I'll have to try making this again.Sarah - The Home Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07932762716036801924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32196802.post-76011169333393448642008-10-29T09:53:00.001-04:002008-10-29T09:53:00.001-04:00Oh that stinks!

Now I want to make this again to see if I can get it to turn out again!Mary Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14955260596820276848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32196802.post-74741221397960489772008-10-28T12:28:00.000-04:002008-10-28T12:28:00.000-04:00I love Kung Pao Chicken, but when I've tried to ma...I love Kung Pao Chicken, but when I've tried to make it at home it never comes close. So I feel your pain! ;) <BR/><BR/>I'm wondering... you mentioned you increased the veggies. Maybe that's why your sauce wasn't as rich... you had more stuff in there to "dilute" it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32196802.post-14576211732209818682008-10-28T12:16:00.000-04:002008-10-28T12:16:00.000-04:00I love trying to recreate those flavors at home......I love trying to recreate those flavors at home... sometimes they hit the mark, others end up bland.
