i would like to have buttered chicken today. the thing is i forget to buy corn startch.
but anyway, i will still make buttered chicken as corn startch is not the main ingredient that will stop me from making it.
perhaps if i did not have chicken then there would be no point making buttered chicken. right?
do you still cook even if one ingredient is missing?

As you mentioned depends on the missing ingredient and a lot of time you can just substitute an ingredient or leave it out. I usually will make do with what I have. Yea I think if you didn't have the chicken it would not have been very good cause then it just would have been butter and that doesn't sound nearly as good.

Depends on the ingredient I am lacking. If it is major I would have to go get it, or cook something else!

@Janet357 That's very understandable. If it is a small ingredient that is not the main one....then I might still make it.

We usually make do with something else if we only have one ingredient missing.

I think its really depends on the missing ingredients, you cant cook something if the missing ingredient is the main ingredient of that food
