San Choy Bau Recipe

San Choy Bau is one of those dishes my kids keep asking for again and again. It’s a great one for camping because the ingredients store easily (oyster sauce should be kept in the fridge), and you only need one pan. The same amount works as a starter for a large group (gem lettuce leaves work better for this) – or feed the family as an easy carb-free lunch. I normally use chicken mince but pork mince works well, too. It can be made ahead of time and reheated when you want it! Ingredients 1 packet dried shitake mushrooms

Winter warmer recipe: Cauliflower Soup

I love that this delicious soup has converted cauliflower haters to cauliflower fans. Perfect for a winter campsite! My family love this soup – it is our winter favourite. It is creamy and delicious, and best of all simple to make, with very few ingredients. You wouldn’t even know it was dairy free. I guess you could serve with cream, but it is so flavoursome – you don’t need it! Ingredients: one cauliflower 3 bacon rashers, chopped 1 large onion, chopped chicken stock 1-2 litres pepper and salt Method: Combine bacon and onion in large saucepan, cook, stirring, until onion

Ingredients don’t need to be measured, just taste as you go”. EXCEPT the Tom Yum paste. My family would urge you to measure it well, very well if you are a first time Tom Yum maker, like I was last night! Admittedly,
