Posted in Alternatives, Chicken, Chinese & Cantonese, Gluten Free, Salads, Slimmingworld, Syns, Thai, Uncategorized2 Comments

This dish was inspired by Paul Rankin who served the coleslaw with sesame fried brill on Saturday Kitchen. I decided to serve it with the chicken but to be honest it would work with many things. I have cut out the sugar and bad stuff but it is still delicious. I genuinely believe it will…… Continue reading Cheery Chinese Chicken with Awesome Asian Coleslaw

Many years ago, 1996 to be exact, I did a short Chinese Cookery Course and learnt how to cook these.  The recipe has developed over the years and largely depends on whatever ingredients I have in the fridge or basically how fat I’m feeling at the time. Ha ha. I know there are many versions…… Continue reading SASSY SPRING ROLLS WITH PRAWNS AND CRISPY VEGETABLES
