Recipe is my adaptation of nigella kitchen one
cook some noodles (I like flat egg noodles)
boil 1l of stock with half a tin coconut milk
flavour with fish sauce (1-2 tbs), 1 chunk of ginger sliced, 1 chilli sliced, 1 tsp each tumeric, tamarind (lime would do instead) and brown sugar.
Heat cooked chicken in the liquid and add veg - I'm using mange tout, mushrooms and broc and heat til cooked but crisp. Taste and adjust salt/sour/ sweet/ heat balance to your preference and pour over the noodles. Top with fresh coriander leaves.
I shall do mine mildish with extra chillis for the adults to add at the table.People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.

Tuesday - salmon in chilli and ginger with new potatoes and green veg
Wednesday - Thai chicken curry and rice
Thursday - friends round for dinner and I'm going to try Nigella's 'Italian' roast chicken, except served with roast garlic new potatoes and garlic bread (it's ok, my friend loves garlic!) instead of her strange barley risotto thing
Friday - something from the freezer
Saturday - I fancy a hm curry night but will decide which dishes specifically nearer the time
Sunday - freezer again, probably cottage pie0 -
