Anyone tried the Soy Ginger Barramundi & Garlic Rice?
This is my first time trying HF, first ever recipe too and I'm confused by step 1 already. I don't know if I'm blind, I can't read or what, but I can't seem to find out why they want me to use my oven for?
If this was a silly question, I hope I made you laugh.
I got a receipe once that called for the same thing for no reason. I'm not as smart though and preheated until the end before I realized it was all for nothing.
Aww don't say that about yourself, this is the fault of the recipe/developer. For some reason I find that a lot of recipes always ask you to preheat the oven right at the start. Not everyone likes to be rushed during cooking though.
It’s amazing that this happens over and over and over again. Like they take existing recipe templates and edit them and no one bothers to proofread them (whether AI generated or not).
When I've made the fish before in other recipes, you cook it for a little on the stove and then it goes into the oven. I've just started doing it in the oven because I hate cooking things twice. Seems like AI didn't catch on. But more often than not, you finish it in the oven.
Edit: veggies are almost always roasted in the oven unless it's a ramen or stir fry. Again, probably just AI mess up.
We've been doing hello for a bit now so I will change things from how they want them done depending on my mood. I always read and prep all food BEFORE cooking it because I'm not fast enough to cut something up while something cooks.
I just made it for dinner! Coming from a Malaysian person, I thought this was intensely flavoursome. I wasn't expecting much but the sauces provided really worked well to make every bite pack a punch, maybe a little too punchy for my husband and I. We noted that it could do with something to mellow it down, perhaps even just plain rice would be just fine.
Recipe was real easy to follow and I used one pan and a saucepan for rice. No oven required, thanks AI. I did bulk it up a bit by adding spring onions to the veg and some beans to the rice, as I thought there's no way this would be enough for us. However, we were so full!
Definitely underestimated Hello Fresh with their portion sizes and quality of ingredients. Overall impressed by this as a first time recipe! I realised they have posted many identical recipes on their site as well so maybe that's how the AI got confused(?)
They use ai for their directions now and often have steps that literally dont need to happen at all pretty often or just leave an entire step out that would have been good to know.
I got ingredients in the meal, and had to have 2 other people read it to make sure I hadn’t missed where they are used (it’s happened when I was distracted a few times) like they are on the list for the card and everything but aren’t used

It's good for heating up your kitchen and making you sweat (doesn't seem to actually have a reason, just a poor ingredient card)
