Rice/Noodles
Oriental Lamb Fillets on Beans and Noodles
This recipe uses the very convenient and tender little lamb fillets. Marinate them in a delicious mixture of oriental flavours and serve over a cold noodle salad with fresh green beans for an interesting and refreshing dinner
Perfect Pad Thai
Made in the traditional way, Pad Thai is true comfort food. You can add chicken and prawns if you want to, but this is a good basic recipe to get you started. It should be cooked quickly, just before eating, but you can soak the noodles and make the sauce in advance.
Pho Ga
Vietnamese chicken noodle soup is the ultimate in comfort food. It's often served for breakfast in Vietnam, but I love it any time of the day or night. It's especially good if you're suffering from a cold or flu - it's as if the hot and spicy broth burns the bugs away.
Pork Fillets with Kumara and Apple Stuffing, and Rice and Spinach Pilaf
Apple and pork have a natural affinity, and I decided to combine pan-fried pork slices with kumara to make a rather unique Kiwi-style stuffing. The easy rice and spinach pilaf looks after itself in the oven, with little danger of overcooking. This is a delicious Kiwi-style meal.
Rice and Peas
This is a most common accompaniment to lots of Jamaican meals. The "peas" are actually small red beans.
