Chicken Bahn Mi-- Andrea Food Review
In the Andrea Food series, I will be reviewing my cooking for mistakes and suggestions for next time. So, the first review will be of the Chicken Bahn Mi I already posted.
How it was: Pretty goood
What went wrong: The baguettes--- I should have used a better starter to get a better flavor. The proofing was all sorts of messed up. I really struggled with the shaping and proofing. The slits I made squished the baguettes. Also, I put too much water into the steam pan, so the second batch didn't cook. The first batch I over-cooked.
The chicken--- It was juicy, but I think next time I will reduce the amount of fish sauce. It was over-powering.
The pickled vegetables--- I made these too far in advance, and I think I messed up the proportions in the pickling.
Overall review: It gets a 3. This was just above "Andrea Food." It was slightly better than edible, but not quite up to enjoyable. Better baguettes would have really helped (and some mayo).
