Dear Back of Japanese Yam Noodle Bag

The recipe you presented was NOT sane. WTF.

I understood when you were like LOL beef, potato, onion and noodle stew. I did not so much understand when the recipe turned into then add 2 cups dashi. TWO CUPS DASHI. Beef+fish= NO. I know people speak of surf and turf being good. It might be good separately. But stewing the beef in fish stock? No.

I made this monstrosity stew. It tasted like a cow fell into a vat of sugar and fish and I am pretty adventurous in my food eating, but I found something I genuinely found no pleasure in eating today. NOPE never again.
