Taste of the Far East

Image
Singapore noodles Another ‘blog meal’, somewhat different bringing in a taste of the far east, with Singapore noodles! Ideal for a 'less hassle' and quicker feed. Come on, who doesn’t like the Chinese menu? Well, as we mostly know it via take-away! As a self-confessed foodie I search for and eat whatever; E.g. (thinking South East Asia)  Thai , Vietnamese , Korean . So, this just looked to tick boxes for a night to conserve some energy and 'deliver' a tasty filling. “Fast, healthy food at its best.” Sold. "It might seem like a strange combination, but the chicken, curry powder and prawns are a total winner," says cookbook author Joe Wicks . "If you don't fancy the combo, feel free to use either chicken or prawns - in which case, you'll need 250g chicken or 200g prawns." I returned to chicken . Prawns are coming soon in (a) something or other. Having the necessary bits (I chose no prawns, and no coriander (love not hate...

From chicken to beef!

Super-Speedy Beef Stroganoff And for my 2 nd savoury….! Firstly  (and secondly – 2 different meals here!) , I’m not following the book exactly page-by-page, due to having possibly done them before and/or just don’t fancy doing them. So, I skipped a page. Shocking I know, to a Stroganoff instead of a creamy saucy chicken (ooh-err chick!). Chicken followed next recipe meal chicken? No, to beef!  It seems like I have done this (meal) before due to the mark or two on the page, that serves as a good sign to I have  already  made it at some time. Book p ersonalised.  However, changes were of course made, notably the exchange of fillet steak for a cheaper cut, as the picture may well show. Another “1-pot?!" So be it! It is amazing what can be done without the use of umpteen/several/many different items from your cookware (and easier, with reason , in truth). Well that’s my view on it; at the moment!

Cheesy Chorizo Chicken and Spinach

Cheesy Chorizo Chicken and Spinach I made it! A savoury start (continuation after the sweet Tiffin ) on this Food blogging journey of mine. As I mentioned that I would use LEAN IN 15 as my recipe source, from book one (the red one), the first meal is Cheesy Chorizo Chicken and Spinach. So be it then! First change I opted for was to use turkey mince not chicken. Just for a change. Yes, chicken is chicken as we know I just fancied something a bit different after having had a fairly poultry week previously. I do not have a great deal of dairy. Is it a miss? A bit I suppose. Cheese however is cheese! Now and again it fits with a lot. So, when I saw the Mozzarella ball for this recipe I saw no problems there, far from! Another   easy recipe then to follow, and it was in truth. Biggest challenge? Finely dicing chorizo! It’s quite tough, so that extra element of care had to be taken. It is chorizo – not fingers – especially as yes, it’s a “Serves 1” meal, but. ...
