Includes Three Delicious Recipes
Mapo tofu
Mapo tofu (pronounced - ma po dou fu) is one of the most popular classic dishes from the Sichuan province in China. The dish was apparently named after a cook from Chengdu (capital of Sichuan province) whose face is full of pockmarks (acne scars) - "ma" stands for "ma-zi" for pockmarks. "po" stands for "popo", an old lady.
General Tso’s chicken
General Tso’s chicken originated from the Hunan province in China and is rumored to be named after Zuo Zongtang (pronounced Tso Tsungtang), a military leader during the Qing dynasty. Whether General Tso really ate this dish in his time, nobody knows!
Sesame ginger meatballs
These Asian-inspired chicken meatballs have become an eat2explore fan favorite! To make it easier, healthier and faster than the traditional way of frying, we broil the meatballs and then braise them in a soy-sesame-ginger sauce.

Amazing so far
We have tried other subscriptions and this by far is our favorite. Love that it comes with the seasonings you need. And can purchase them agian if you would like . There is alot of prep but for us having 4 kids it allows everyone to have a job. And creates more then 1 meal in this box . Love the information that comes with it and utensil as well. Overall a great box . Can't wait for the next one !!!

It is an ok product
Overall, we have learned some new and interesting things. Unfortunately, the recipes, prepared as they stand, are not very good! I do a lot of cooking so I do some research on the country of origin and add this and that to make it taste good.

Amazing adventures await
My sous chef is on the spectrum and has severe sensory issues to smell, taste and even sight. The eat2explore box appealed to his natural inquisitiveness and had him further researching the monthly country. He loved writing his reviews of the foods tried and adding his pins to his collection. He also now has his own special cooking tools that he can use going forward. This kit has helped him try many new things and even increased his confidence in trying other new adventures, not just food related.
