This recipe is just a template, you can customise it to your taste. I often make this Asian with ginger and soya sauce etc.


You essentially need:


PROTEIN = a palm-sized piece of poachable protein

CARBS = 70g of any poachable starch that will cook in 10 minutes, eg. rice, pasta etc

VEG = 3 handfuls, choose vegetables that can poach in under 10 minutes

HERBS = Dried or fresh and choose according to dish/cuisine
