Numero UNO Itto's Signature Dish! Genshin Cooking for "Radien Ei" Episode 7

WOOO WEEEE! It's June 1st which means... Happy Birthday to the one and only Oni Arataki Itto! (And no other Genshin Character, no, one, else...) Well, let's "cook" his signature dish in honor of Itto's birthday, let's hope all that power doesn't get to his head. So what is "Way of the Strong?" It's a glorified sandwich...only fitting for the Leader of The Arataki Gang. Well, I'll give it a try. I've made and tried lots of crap in my time, like Sucrose's chemical abomination. That was a pain to make and a pain to taste. Maybe this one will be simple to make a plausible sleeper dish? Noodles, Tofu, Chineese Cabbage, sauce, stuffed in a hot dog bun!? This can't possibly taste good. Maybe the toasted bread on sesame oil will salvage the meal. After further review, nope. This ain't it chief, let someone else do the cooking next time in the gang, Itto. The taste of the noodles with the sauce was very disappointingly bland. There may have been a subtle taste of sweet heat from the mixture of the high potential sauce, too bad it failed miserably. The Bacon was a mere afterthought, I completely forgot it was there. The tofu, well, that's just a way to get protein I wasn't expecting any contributions with it. The bread, oh boy! The sesame oil completely threw this dish out of whack, it was the dominant taste of the dish. It almost gave it a metallic type of taste. Granted, I'm no expert in using Sesame oil so maybe I don't have the acquired taste for it. Geez, my expectations were low on this one, and it barely cleared that low bar. Way of the Strong was, edible, that's about all I can say. I was hoping for more flavor out of the sauce to balance the carbs out, and it didn't. Now operator error could have been a problem here but let's face it, Itto is messing this dish up on a daily basis. Let someone else do the cooking next time Itto for the gang. Kuki Shinobu know's best, let her knock some sense into you every once in a while, and accept it! I won't be making this dish again more than likely, it's somehow still doesn't taste as bland or abysmal as Nutritious Meal (V. 593) so it gets spared from the bottom of the points list. Way of The Strong? More like way of the strong Stomach! Genshin Cooking Power Rankings: 1.) Rockin' Riffin' Chicken! 2.) Braised Meat 3.) Stone Harbor's Delicacies 4.)
