A change from bread


A change is as good as a rest as they say. On that note, especially in light of the hot weather of late – try Little Gem lettuce leaves filled with your favourite bits and pieces - they always remind me of little boats – just the right size to fill and two delicious mouthfuls – okay, one if you're really hungry!

Serve a heaped plateful of “boats” and shred the poached chicken breast.

Make a dipping sauce :

3 tbsp hoisin sauce
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
1 tbsp Shaoxing (Chinese rice wine)
you can use dry sherry

as a garnish

crushed, salted peanuts
Kecap Manis for drizzling (sweet soy sauce)

Use any fresh salad ingredient that takes your fancy - raid the fridge!

Stir fry stuff if you are in the mood - for example you could continue with the Asian theme and use bok choy – Chinese cabbage, water chestnuts and bean sprouts - the list is endless – there are no rules!

It's a San Choy Bow but not as you know it.

I've just given myself a great idea for a mid week supper – minimum effort, maximum taste.

Dare I say it … healthy too!
