San Choy Bow

Every time I make this it’s a bit different, depending on the veggies I have on hand. (Which makes it a bit hard to write down as a recipe)

Sometimes I add diced carrot, usually we add 4 or 5 finely grated mushrooms, and a handful of peas.

Just make it up. 👍

Ingredients

2 tbsp sesame oil

1 onion, diced

2 cloves of garlic, finely grated

1 inch of garlic, freshly grated

3/4 head of cauliflower, diced

100g water chestnuts, diced

1 can of lentils

3/4 cup of soy protein (Cooked according to packet directions).

1/2 an ear of corn kernels

2 small bricks of skinny rice noodles, cooked & chopped

Spring onions for serving, finely chopped

Sauce

1 1/4 tsp cornflour

3 tbsp water

2-3 tbsp soy sauce

3-4 tbsp san choy bow sauce

1 tsp sesame oil

1 squeeze of lemon

1 tsp sugar

Method

Filling

In a large pan heat the oil on high heat and then add the onion. Fry for a few minutes and then add the garlic. Continue to cook for a further 5 minutes.

Add the cauliflower & ginger & cook for 10-15 minutes.

Add the rest of the ingredients to the pan and stir occasionally as you prepare the sauce.

Sauce

In a bowl add the corn flour and water and whisk until there are no lumps.

Add the rest of the sauce ingredients and mix.

Add the sauce to the pan and stir through the mixture.

Place a lid on the pan and leave to simmer while you prep the lettuce cups by washing and separating the leaves.

Serve with spring onions and crushed peanuts if you have them.

This blog was inspired by the film Julie & Julia, starring Meryl Streep & Amy Adams.

Julie decides she will take her love of cooking to the next level by cooking every recipe in Julia Childs French cookbook, in one year! 500 & something fancy, technical recipes!! While working full time!

Julie writes a daily blog about her time in the kitchen for herself & other amateur cooks who may, or may not be, reading along. You gotta watch it (http://thehomeschoolyear.com/about/).  Or read it here. (http://thehomeschoolyear.com/book)

I loved that she wrote every day. I loved hearing about her small everyday frustrations, with the recipes & with life. It really inspired me to throw myself into something.

The timing was perfect as we have just decided to homeschool our children as a lifestyle choice and I thought…Cool! A daily blog will be perfect!

There must be other families out there wondering if there’s another way to live? Another way to do ‘family life’?

If you’re here, then hello & welcome aboard! Please feel free to sit back & watch it all unfold. Put the kettle on & check in with us each night to see what went down and how we all got over the line. I’m sure we’ll find our rhythm, right?

Are you a homeschool family? If you’re watching the wheels fall off this thing, I’m open to your emails or comments any time. I would love them! I am very friendly, & I could use the help.

Ok, come hell or high water….I’m in. A daily blog, for 12 months. I’ll be right, here.

Kindly, Lisa x

Can we be friends?!
