Soy sauce
Sesame oil
White pepper
Red wine vinegar  (optional)

1. Cut or Shave cucumber in to thin rounds.
2. Pour over soy sauce, white pepper, sesame oil and red wine vinegar and toss.
This salad is great for when you are a bit peckish or want something quick to eat.

Rethink the humble baked beans

Baked beans with canned 5 spice pork cubes

5 spice pork cubes eg. of brand my family has tried before. This one is from china. If you can find a brand that is made in Taiwan even better.(Most of there products will have haccp certifications).



This dish was created by one of my relatives near the end of the British colony days.
It is a bit like have baked beans with sausage except Chinese style. Quick and Delicious! Great when you need a extra dish on the table or something quick to go with your vegetables. A Chinese twist on a old favourite.

Ingredients(only two!)

Baked Beans in Tomato Sauce
Canned 5 Spiced Pork Cubes


1. Empty Baked Beans and Pork Cubes in to a mircwave safe dish with cover. Stir and heat for about 2 mins(heat longer if needed. Since both canned products have beens precooked they should not take long to heat through). Done!
