spicy saté chili paste for tasty instant noodle soupI use this with Pho Ga soup to add the spiciness. It also is great to add in a jar with some cooked noodles and veggies to take for lunch - just add some water. I always add sundried tomatoes as well. From The Happy Foodie (Nadiya’s Time to Eat on Netflix) It's also great on other foods to add a little spicy flavour!

Pho Ga – Vietnamese saté chicken soupI tried a lot of recipes for this Vietnamese soup that we really love and then I found this one, which is the real deal. You can watch the video here: Vietworld Kitchen. I always make the broth and then add the stuff our local restaurant adds, plus some extras; onions, broccoli, chicken, green onions, bok choy and some of the spicy chili saté paste I keep around most of the time.

Thai Coconut Curry ShrimpThis is a recipe Winston and Sherri made for us. We tried to use it at our wedding, but in the large quantity it didn't thicken properly, so don't try that 🙂 Serve over basmati or jasmine rice with a squeeze of lime and chopped fresh coriander leaves. The sauce can be prepared well ahead and refrigerated.
