Anyone else get this? Tasted like a frozen lean cuisine meal. First F tier Hello Fresh meal for me and i've done their vegetarian meals for almost 2 years.

Oh no this is what I’m supposed to make tonight! What do you think could improve it?

As a vegetarian, I usually will take their ingredients and then just do what I think is best. Sometimes that’s adding my own things and taking some of theirs out.
I don’t think their vegetarian recipes are really well thought out. They feel like after thoughts, or like someone at HF was trying to empty the pantry.

Vegan and vegetarian meals are usually fine, the problem is that HelloFresh has not hired anyone who knows how to make a good Asian dish.

I would expect to enjoy this. I’m not vegan or vegetarian, but the broccoli and carrots would give me the differentiating texture I’d desire so it’s ok meatless.
Was it just the microwavable rice that was a problem? Why are they even giving microwaveable rice when they have plenty of normal rice already lol. I looked at the recipe and steps and could have provided normal rice and really not take any longer to cook rice for 15 minutes.
I will say the calorie count is a no for me, 520 is just too low for me.
I’ve enjoyed all the Szechuan meals I’ve had though but they’ve all been pastas and ramen soups.

Oh that’s unfortunate that’s one of my meals this week. Any add-ins you recommend to maybe make it better?

I didn’t mind it, but we also didn’t get any Szechuan sauce so my husband improvised something with jarred Szechuan we have specifically for this kind of issue. It did definitely mess up my intestines, though. IBS is a bitch.

It was way to sweet.

Peanuts on rice. That’s it. Not I know it’s AI generated.

Ooh, I had this last night and I and everyone liked it. I can definitely see where the microwave rice could throw it though. I also had mine reheated because I got home late, so that may have allowed for the flavors to blend better.

Wife and I liked it, with the exception of the rice.
I cooked everything a little longer than the time specified. The veggies needed more time to soften. Also cooked sauce longer as it was too loose. It was quick and easy and on a hot night was a good choice.
No helping the microwave rice.

I actually thought this was good. I made my own jasmine rice though.
