Vietnamese Mint Lemonade

This recipe for Vietnamese Mint Lemonade brings together 110 g caster sugar, 1/2 cup ice, 250 ml fresh lemon juice in a practical dish for home cooking. It takes about 5 min to prepare and cook. It makes approximately 10 servings.

Asian Pork Patties

This recipe – by Rodney Dunn – is from the March 2001 issue of the ‘Australian Good Taste’ magazine. I have made these patties – served as a first course – with the chillis for guests who like hot and spicy food (and they’ve loved them) and for myself minus the chillis! Some useful conversions: 350g = a tad more than 11oz.; 50g = approximately 13/4oz.

Mushroom and Shredded Chicken Salad

A quick to prepare Asian-influenced salad which could be served as a main course or a side dish, from ‘tossed: 200 fast, fresh and fabulous salads’. If any of your mushrooms are particularly large, quarter them or chop them to an appropriate size. Ideal for making on a busy week-night with a takeaway – or take out – roasted chicken. BTW, 7 oz = 200g; 14 oz = 400g. The lime and soy dressing could be made in advance.
