Thai Cashew Chicken Stir Fry |
This is a fairly simple recipe that is quick to cook but produces good results.
Dave's tips are:
- as with all RecipeTin recipes, make sure all ingredients are ready to go - once you start the stir-fry, it's all action.
- don't be afraid to add a couple of kaffir lime leaves
- I didn't have a red cayenne pepper, so I used two birdseye red chillies, leaving the seeds in. This was spicy but not too hot.
- it is easy to burn the cashews so be very vigilant, reduce the heat to below medium if they are starting to brown too quickly. Keep turning them over with a slotted spoon.

Green Beans in Creamy Parmesan Sauce with Bacon |
This is a great way to serve up green beans with your favourite red or white meat (that doesn't demand rice or noodles). I recommend it with a good steak that is cooked just how you like it.
Tip: Be sure to add extra cooking time to the beans if you prefer them to be less crunchy, say, 7-8 minutes
Add your favourite wine and you'll beat any restaurant!

Char Siu Pork – Chinese BBQ Pork |
This latest recipe was submitted by Paul. He says " Last night I cooked one of the nicest dishes that I've had in a while - Char Siu Pork (Chinese BBQ Pork). Easy as.....
I bought a pork shoulder on Saturday, used half for S&S pork and the other half for this (as well as a big slab of crackling).
I marinated for 48 hours (which is the trick!) and cooked in the air fryer - superb!"

Healthier Spicy Chilli-Honey Chicken |
This is another recipe from the Woolworths Fresh Ideas magazine. It states only 5 minutes prep time but that is a long way quicker than what it typically takes. A few tips:
- use only half the vermicelli noodles
- add extra lemon zest and juice
- cut the bak choy into slightly smaller portions than those shown in the photo in the receipe

Creamy Chicken and Rice |
The Creamy Chicken and Rice recipe is from the Campbell's range of simple, quick and easy recipes. It is tasty enough (mostly coming from the leek), but it is better if a few mushrooms are added. I would also recommend adding a bit of additional flavoring, such Thai Green Curry or something else that you prefer.

Tips:
- garnish with parsley if you don't like coriander

Stir Fry Pork and Thai Basil |
Here is a Justine Schofield recipe recommended by Dave. He says it is quick and easy to make and tastes great.
A couple of tips:
- the eggs can be cooked, broken up, and just added to the meal at the end - just like you'd do making a fried rice.
- use a microwave jasmine rice packs from the supermarkets - just 90seconds in the microwave.
- consider adding the sauce to the main dish at the last minute to heat it up.
- I use a veal/pork mix of mince (from Aldi) for the meat.
