Menu Plan Monday ~ The Asian Edition

Posted On November 6, 2011

We are huge fans of recipes coming from Asia. Hubby (who does most the cooking in our house) lists Luke Nguyen as his favourite chef. Maybe it was our honeymoon in Malaysia and Thailand or maybe it’s just that it is healthy AND delicious! The one catch is, Asian cooking can be expensive. My suggestion is to once a grocery shop stock up on the basic sauces. Coriander is easy to grow and used in a lot of asian recipes. Grab some ginger when you grab your potataos and onions. Start adding some new asian essential to your regular pantry archive!

Monday ~ Tofu Pad Thai

I struggle with vegetarian dishes. We are a meat devoted family. But I do love tofu! Plus its good for you and this makes for a very budget friendly meal!

Tuesday ~ San Choy Bow

Ok so the ones in this picture are fancy and use witlof and prawns! Our style is lettuce leaves and pork mince! The kids love that these are like mini bowls!

Wednesday ~ Rice Paper Rolls

These are no where near as hard to make as they look. The fillings are totally up to you we like chicken, noodles, carrot cucumber and coriander for the kids and prawns for Mum and Dad! I always have my fingers crossed for left overs as they are great to take for lunch!

Thursday ~ Chinese Barbeque Chicken

Love a new take on the humble BBQ chook! This is a great last minute dinner!
