So thats what you did to him!
Bún riêu :
There are two Bún Riêu variant – The original one and the new variant. The original one is a noodle soup with tomatoes, and chicken or pork. The problem with this food course is that one ingredient can only be bought in Asia – a special crab paste.
The ingredients are as following:
· Rieu crab paste. This is the ingredient that hinders foreigners cooking this – and there is not a lot of export.
· 3 cut tomatoes.
· 200g of pork
· 3 eggs.
· R 2-3 red onions cut.
· 3-5 spring onion stalks, cut into pieces.
· One Coriander if you wish to make the course more unique.
· One lime.
· Some salt and pepper
· 250 g of Vermicelli – which you will have left in hot water for 30 seconds
· 2 tablespoons of cooking oil
Instructions:
1. Mix the rieu crab paste, the ground pork and the eggs together.
2. Fetch a saucepan and use it to heat the cooking oil.
3. Sprinkle the tomatoes and the finely cut red onions into the saucepan and stir them about for approximately one minute.
4. Add 3-5 bowls of water and heat it until it reaches the boiling point.
5. Use the mixture –rien, the ground pork and the eggs – and pour it into the water bowl. Again, wait until it starts to boil.
6. Get the salt and pepper because this you will add after you have turned down the heat.
7. The soup that is ready will be pured into the bowls of water . accompanies with vernicilli. You can add some spring onion, the coriander and salad. Again, it is optional, but it might be a good idea to add some chili for that famous ‘spicy taste.
Step 2- go home and boil the kettle
Step 3- pour water on bowl of porridge oats, add sugar and milk
Step 4- eat porridge
( i will post something proper when i start eating something other than porridge)
I would contribute to this thread, but I can't cook to save my life.
Porridge with water sounds vile, it's much ncier with soya milk...

2. Open 1xtin Heinz baked beans
3. Heat beans in a saucepan over a low heat
4. Grate some cheddar cheese
5. Butter toast and cover with beans

7. Enjoy hot.

Method

2. Heat the rest of the oil and cook the onions for five minutes until starting to soften. Add the garlic, bacon and mushrooms and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
3. Stir in the flour and cook for two minutes. Season well and stir in the bay leaf, orange zest and juice, redcurrant jelly, stock and wine.

What you need
- 1 potato
- 1/2 Leek
- Cheese
- Milk
How to cook
Slice potato (don't peel it, all the vitamins are under the skin) and boil in a pan until they're soft.
Saute some leek in a hot pan, put it to one side.
Once the potato is done mash it and add a splash of milk to make it creamy.
Grate some cheese in and add leek.
Keep in the pan and heat until the cheese is melted.
boil paste
mix a tin of tuna with some tomatoe puree,
mix together and sprinkle grated cheese over it then stick under grill!
Pigeon pittas: Cube your fresh pigeon breast, kebab it along with red onions and mushies over the BBQ. When they're done stick 'em in a taosted pitta with lettuce and BBQ sauce.
Any crunchy veg you have
Oil
Five Spice
Soy Sauce
Fry veg in a tiny bit of oil, add five spice and soy and stir, serve. Great if you need to have dinner in about 10 minutes, and versatile as you can put meat/fish/tofu with it too.
