Amy’s Kitchen says: The tender organic rice noodles, combined with a traditional chinese sauce, organic mushrooms and organic vegetables give Amy’s Asian Noodle Stir-Fry the distinctive flavor and texture for which Asian cuisine is famous.

Amy says: I ate this meal a while ago and forgot to submit a review. Details of the meal are a bit fuzzy, but I do remember several irrelevant facts and they are as follows: 1-I heated this and then brought it to Dupont Circle to eat, it was a beautiful spring day and 2-I picked out the broccoli because I loathe broccoli. This may be because when you steam broccoli it smells like fart and the odor is very strong. I have never been able to get past the funky smell of steamed broccoli and will not eat broccoli in any form.

There are also two things I remember about this meal (and yes, they are relevant) that left quite an impression on my brain and taste buds. Item 1-when Amy’s says “distinctive flavor . . . for which Asian cuisine is famous” they mean “this tastes like ginger”. I do enjoy ginger, but other flavors come to mind when I think of Asian food, such as soy sauce, sesame oil, and teriyaki sauce. This entire meal tasted like ginger. Mayhaps I would have enjoyed the broccoli had I left it in as it would have tasted just like ginger as well. I am thinking about Abi as I write this, she is passionate about her ginger, mayhaps she would be enamored with this bowl. This leads me to Item 2-the noodles to vegetable ratio was not ideal for me. Even after I had removed the broccoli I ran out of noodles long before I ran out of vegetables. I like a bit of noodle and vegetable in every bite, but once the noodles were gone all I could do was stare morosely at the remaining veggies.

Overall, the meal was decent, but not Amy’s finest. I love me some Amy’s, but have learned to stick to meals that somehow involve dairy.
