Thai Green Curry
We went through a phase of eating this almost every week because we’d found a recipe that was really tasty. We don’t eat it quite so often anymore but both Stephen and I have been craving it for a while. Luckily, we had some paste that we’d made previously in the fridge (eat that Nigella!) […]
Read More..>>Beef and Water Chestnut Stir Fry
Kerri wanted to cook water chestnuts tonight and we didn’t have any and Waitrose didn’t have any when she went shopping there. So I volunteered to get some on the way home. I visited about 10 shops on the way home and only found them in the last one. I hadn’t thought they’d be that […]
Read More..>>Chicken Stir Fry
As is typical of most Mondays, we went for something light for dinner in a vague attempt to atone for the extremeties of the weekend. This was pretty much our usual chicken stir fry but with the addition of basil at the end which lifted the whole dish and made it much more fragrant. We […]
Read More..>>Thai Skewers
A few days ago, we planned to have Thai lemongrass beef skewers tonight and hadn’t planned much else. Today we decided to have chicken satay as well, to follow the skewer theme. We managed to plan all of this without so much as a thought to anything non-meat related and this lack of thought continued […]
Read More..>>Beef Stirfry
We had a fair amount of beef left over from our roast yesterday, so we decided to make it into a stir fry. Nothing too fancy – just a made up, pseudo-Thai recipe using thinly sliced beef, red pepper, carrot, baby corn and broccoli to which we added chilli, lemongrass, garlic, lime juice, soy sauce […]
Read More..>>Prawn and Squid Stir-fry
Having decided that stir fries can be a tasty and quick way to comply with our healthy eating regime, we tried another one tonight. This was a Thai style stir fry with prawn and squid. We added vegetables (yellow pepper, baby corn and mange tout) to an existing recipe. The recipe called for insane amounts […]
Read More..>>Stir Fried Vegetables with Roasted Salmon
Does this look familiar at all? If it does it’ll be because this is basically the same as last night’s dinner, except with salmon instead of chicken. I roasted the salmon in the oven with some garlic, chilli and ginger and stir fried the vegetables seperately in the same sauce of oyster sauce, soy sauce […]
Read More..>>Stir Fried Chicken
It’s another healthy eating week for us, we’re going on holiday on Friday and expect to be eating and drinking too much so this is a sort of pre-emptive strike. We decided on a carb-light dinner of stir fried chicken which was really tasty, and quick too which is key…if we don’t eat soon after […]
Read More..>>Brownish-Green Thai Curry
While cooking Thai green curry this evening, I was wondering how to make it slightly differently because we have had it quite a few times over the past few months. While pondering this, I was not really paying attention and burnt the chicken slightly. Which I’m claiming makes it brownish-green curry rather than green curry; […]
Read More..>>Marinated Tuna and Alaskan Spider Crab
Tonight we had marinated tuna; it’s ages since I remember cooking tuna. We marinated two tuna steaks in some oil, soy sauce and lime juice with some chopped garlic, chilli and lemongrass. We’d planned to marinate it for one hour but due to some changes of plan it ended up being in it for three […]
