Fusion Confusion

"American Chop Suey turned on it's head! Reminiscent of Greek cuisine with the addition of cinnamon...an Asian twist with the switch to rice noodles. Made for RSC #9."

  1. I made this tonight and it wasnt what I expected. I found it rather bland and the rice noodles just didnt seem to go with the dish. My husband actually chose not to finish his plate, he disliked it so much. I am not sure what would improve this dish as I added ginger and red pepper but still found it bland. We will not try it again.
     
  2. Very Nice, almost Morroccan in flavor.
     
  3. We found this good. We will no doubt make it again in the future. It was quick and easy and many nights we are looking for that.
     
  4. I made this as a side dish to serve with dinner along with some steamed veggies and it was an excellent choice. The cinnamon really went well with the ground beef. The guys do not like rice noodles so I had no choice but to use fettuccine noodles. I added Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce to mine and it paired well with the cinnamon. Good Luck Chef!
     
  5. We would have liked to see more herbs or spices be it Greek how about oregano and olives if Asian how`s cilantro and or ginger. Some hot pepper flakes would have given this a nice boost as well. I did drain the fat from the cooked meat before sprinkling on the cinnamon. And let the sauce simmer for 20 minutes to the desired thickness. As for 1 pound of noodles was way overpowering for the meat got lost in it. I would suggest 1/2 pound would be plenty.
