Usually in my household, we fend for ourselves when it comes to food. Mum, reserving to her carryout nonsense and I, to the oh-so-painless instant noodles. Yesterday however, I decided to brave the world of culinary arts and attempt to make Mongolian beef. Usually this dish is made with green onions, but since we didn’t have any on hand (outrageous!) I had to resort to substituting the very important ingredient with a regular onion. Since I am an avid watcher of the Food Network, I know a few tricks when it comes to cutting onions. For instance, if you don’t want the waterworks to start, throw on a pair of sunglasses. Which I did, naturally, I always trust what the food experts. :happy: After the cutting was done, I moved on to the meat- which is actually pretty nasty if you look too close. After 20 minutes or so, the stove was on high and the oil was crackling merrily, the meat was browning nicely and my sauce was thickening. (I praise the miracle that is soy sauce.) This is when it all started to go downhill, right when I reached for my bowl of onions. I had assumed at this point that it was safe to take my sunglasses off. Because you never see Rachel Ray cooking with sunglasses on, do you? Oh boy, that was one strong onion, during the process when transferring the onions to the pan, I started tearing up. Instinctively, I reached up and whipped my eyes with my hand. Needless to say that the stinging pain got worse, way worse. The rest of my night involved many trips to the bathroom and half a container of soap… I’ll spare the gruesome details.
