HOISIN EGG NOODLES

Egg Noodles (as much as you want) 58p Aldi
hoi-sin and garlic sauce 55p Tesco
1 green pepper cut into chunks (super six 3 for 69p = 23p
1/2 onion saut!ed 10p
2 chicken leg quarters that have been cooked and diced or shredded 99p

Total for 4 people £2.45 = 61p per portion

In a small pan add the hoi sin sauce, pepper and chicken, making sure that the chicken is well covered in the sauce. Cook your onions in butter to the colour of your liking, then add them to the sauce with the peppers and mix it until they are covered.
Cook and drain the noodles (this only takes a few minutes) add to the pan with the sauce to coat the noodles and serve with boiled rice or egg fried rice and pancake rolls

My youngest likes a roast dinner, and is a bit of a bacon fiend. My eldest likes pasta. We've been to a friends today and had home made carrot and coriander soup which was lush. She said it was the BBC good food recipe.

I like most soups, but the kiddies aren't fussed, they like a picnic / buffet so they can have a little of lots of variety. But I'm not doing a buffet every night, lol!

Sadly they don't have many common favourites. One likes spuds and the other pasta, one likes beans and the other eggs.

Bit annoying really. They're having sausage and mash tonight, and some veg.

This sounds nice Butterfly Brain Hoisin Chicken noodles - what recipe do you use?

Can anyone recommend a good Jambalaya recipe?

This is how I make jumbalya:
1. Fry off in a little oil in a wok – choppedonions, peppers, mushrooms and garlic – until cooked.

2. When the veg is cooked, transfer to a plate, andadd a little more oil to the wok. On alow heat add rice, but it needs to be the destarched stuff, like Uncle Benslong grain rice; or lidls do a boxed 1kg version for 99p. As to how much rice you use it is up to you,but for 2 adults and 2 kids we use 2 full ramekins. Empty the rice into the wok and stir itthrough the oil, add a pinch of ground ginger, chilli powder, and squeeze oftomato puree and stir all together. Now add hot chicken stock. To start with I would use one stock cube and ¾ pt of boiling water. Add this to the wokand then stir the rice around. Turn theheat up to a low boil, and the rice will start to absorb the stock. After about 8-10 minutes check the rice andyou will probably need to another ½pt of boiling water. Stir the rice through. At this point I would add a handful of peas andafter 5 minutes check that almost all of the stock has been absorbed. Once this has happened, I would add my cookedveg from earlier along with a cooked chopped chicken breast, ½ a choppedchoritzo and couple of handfuls of prawns. Stir everything through again, and leave for another 5 minutes, andeverything will be piping hot and ready to serve.
Sorry there is no actual recipe but I have made it so oftenI know what works for us. You can add anything to this dish and it is very easyto make.

We like risotto, curry, chilli etc. Favourite meal is loosely based on this recipe:

We don't bother with capers or caraway and tend to use whatever fresh herbs we've found cheap in the supermarket and sometimes add chorizo to the sauce. I like it spicy but you don't have to add much chilli. We just have it with crusty bread, not bacon.

Jamabalaya was a big hit especially the chirizo they loved it.

Fajitas loved by dh and dd1 but youngest two wouldnt even really try them so cant add them to the menu at the mo I dont think

Honey glazed ham (OH loves it ), veg, potatoes and either parsley sauce or gravy.
