/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I think I fucked up /ck/.

My gf and her family came over on sunday for a meal since it's our one year anniversary. Anyway, her family is chinese so I decided i would make authentic chinese food. I looked up some /ck/ infographics to help. I'm really not too up on cooking outside student food but i researched this stuff a lot to make it good

>starter was fried whole crab claws with chilli dip, along with egg drop soup

they didn't even touch the crab claws. i put a lot of effort into the soup, i got some whole grain white pepper corns that i ground myself for it but they just spent most of the starter course splitting up the egg and playing around with the food

>main was kung pao chicken with szechuan shrimp

this one went pretty well to be honest.

desert was probably where i went wrong. my local chinese supermarket had closed for the week because of an accident so i couldn't get anything. i decided to use indian desserts instead.

> gulab jamun with sandesh and a cup of huangjiu (i heard it was tradition)

i get that it wasn't chinese but i followed the recipes to the letter and it was so bad that my girlfriends mom had to be excused to the bathroom. it wasn't even a recipe from /ck/ so it was definitely legit.
