Method

  1. Cook the vegetables first. I cut up the mushrooms, beans, broccoli, capsicum and added them to a fry pan. In the fry pan I put some olive oil.
  2. The vegetables cooked for about 10 – 15 mins in a very hot fry pan. This allowed them to get some colour and to be cooked through without being to overdone.
  3. I added some soy sauce to the mixture to create some flavour for the veggies.
  4. I sprinkled in a little bit of chilli flakes to have a little spice and taste.
  5. Once the veggies were done I removed them from the pan. They stayed in a bowl to then allow me to cook the chicken.
  6. I added some more olive oil to make sure that the chicken did not stick. The pan still had the flavours of the soy sauce and the chilli flakes. This made the chicken get a nice brown coating on the outside.
  7. Once the chicken was cooked I added the veggies back to the pan.
  8. I got a bowl to add the salad leaves to. I poured in the Birch and Waite Thai, Lime and Coriander Dressing all over the leaves. I did not add the whole bottle but just enough to coat the leaves and give the taste of the dressing throughout the salad.
  9. Now add the chicken and veggies to the bowl with the salad leaves and mix around.
  10. Serve and enjoy this tasty, yummy and healthy salad.

 

The finished product! The warm chicken and veggie salad is ready to eat.

I hope you enjoy this meal as much as we did. Hubby and I managed to finish the whole bowl of salad between us.

If you don’t eat meat you can add more vegetables, tofu or other items to make it a veterinarian option. You can also play around with ingredients and maybe use fish or beef with your next salad creation.

Make Vietnamese Spring Rolls

I’ve never made Vietnamese Spring Rolls before and thought they looked hard. However, they were super easy to create.

So what do you need to make Vietnamese Spring Rolls?

  • Rice Paper Wrappers
  • Carrot – Grated
  • Cooked Chicken – You can add prawns, beef or anything else that takes your fancy
  • Lettuce/bok choy
  • Bean shoots
  • Water Chesnuts
  • Soy Sauce, chilli flakes or a special spring roll sauce of your choosing.

 

All my ingredients for the inside of my spring rolls.

See diagram on how to fold the spring rolls. I didn't see this at first and my first ones were not as good. The other ones were better, but I think I need more practice.

Method

  1. Do each rice paper wrapper at a time. Wet the wrapper for a few minutes in water. Once done put it on a damp cloth/tea towel.
  2. Add the ingredients to the middle of the wrapper.
  3. Now fold the wrapper to make the spring roll. Fold over the sides and then roll tightly until it is rolled tight in a roll.
  4. Do it for all the spring roll wrappers and until you finish all your ingredients.
  5. Serve with soy and chilli sauce or a mixture of sauce that you love.
Make sure to work fast as the rice paper wrapper is prone to tear and stick to things. This is why it is a good idea to have the rice paper wrapper on a damp surface like a tea towel.
