5th hellofresh box

hi guys! sorry this post is a few days late. work this week has been awful and i haven't had a chance to breathe. anyway onto the food!

here's our fifth hellofresh box! we ended up getting this 'third' box after this groupon because of the credit we ended up getting from the leaky chicken in the 'first' box we received. this will be our last for a now as we have canceled the subscription. the meals we chose this time are:

1. Warm Shrimp and Farro Salad
2. Turkish Lamb Meatballs
3. Marinated Steak Bibimbap

for recipes of these three dishes, see my HelloFresh recipes folder on my google drive. ~Lin-chan ^.~

dinner 1: shrimp & farro salad

so aside from the fact that teh paul forgot the arugula in the salad spinner until like an hour after we finished eating......... it was really good! haha. we're planning on making this again, once we make a trip to trader joe's to buy more farro. he and i both agreed, to some degree, we liked the farro more than brown rice since it's fluffier.

dinner 2: turkish lamb meatballs
this was teh yumz. the meatballs somehow ended up tasting like gyro (yes, i know lamb is in gyro, but still), and the sauce was sweet and tangy. the only issues we foresee with making this again is obtaining ground lamb and turkish spice blend. maybe whole foods and the internets, respectively? i'm not sure.
-- to anyone interested in making this in the future, the "1 box" of crushed tomatoes is about 13.8oz, and "1 stock concentrate" is about 8oz of stock

dinner 3: steak bibimbap

can i first start off with, why is the soyu in a jar... who puts it into a jar when it can be in a teeny bottle?? didn't one of my previous food subscription boxes have super cute little soy sauce fishies??? and secondly, i don't think i've ever seen sriracha in packettes before. not that i ever use it, but i thought it was..different. anyway, this came out really good! it uses simple, easily obtainable ingredients and it was fairly easy to make! can't wait to do it again!
