Week 3: Recreating Chang Thai3/11/2024 For week three, our goal was to try to recreate the Drunken Noodles from Chang Thai. We started by finding a recipe online that was similar to the dish we ate and then we gathered all of the ingredients we would need. Overall, I would say the price for the ingredients wasn’t that bad because each of us would have spent around $6 for what we got. We all went to Hannah's house and started cooking. First, we boiled the noodles and then we mixed up the sauce by using three or four different oils and sauces and finally we cooked the broccoli and the carrots to add them in.
When we were finally done cooking, we dished up the food and sat down to see how well we had recreated the Drunken Noodles. All of us thought the noodles were pretty good as far as the taste but not very accurate compared to the dish at Chang Thai. Our ratings were around 6-8/10 for flavor and 5-7/10 for accuracy. Part of this could have been the fact that we made a few adjustments to the recipe, like adding a few more tablespoons of brown sugar and chili sauce, but even though it didn’t turn out exactly how we thought it would, we learned some valuable lessons for the next dish we make. In conclusion, we are done with our first part of Genius hour, the dinner, and the recreation. The next restaurant we have on our schedule is La Carreta on Wednesday and we are all looking forward to that! We are planning to get an ACP and try to recreate that, which we think will go a lot better than the Drunken Noodles. See you next week!
