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.

Salt and Pepper Squid or Calamari With Cucumber Salad

This dish could also be used with calamari. I have been looking for a squid/calamari dish that does not have Szechuan pepper as I am unable to find it. This recipe comes from The Australian Womans Weekly Simply Seafood book.

Stir-Fry Prawns / Shrimps With Vegetables and Fresh Thai Noodles

This recipe started off as a chicken salad but I wanted something warmer and I had raw green prawns at home so it ended off as a stir-fry. For the noodles I used Fresh Thai Noodles which are yellow in colour and flat, I purchase them in the fridge section of the supermarket. I ate the stir-fry the next day for lunch and the flavours really enhanced. Enjoy

Eggplant (Aubergine) Dip

This is a spicy dip that could be served with Flat Bread, Nan bread or Turkish Bread. The recipe was found in a book called ‘Creative food – Finger Food’ by The Australian Woman’s Weekly.
