Gosh, it can get tiresome can’t it!

Thankfully there’s one person in my household I can turn to to help me meal plan, my daughter! When she shoots out all her suggestions I feel the relief wash over me that I don’t have to do all the heavy lifting thinking on my own.  She’ll usually choose familiar recipes, mostly from my blog, but occasionally she’s come up with something random, like San Choy Bow!

So clearly she also provides me with inspirational ideas for recipes and it’s always refreshing adding new meals to my meal planning repertoire. Below I share my new recipe for San Choy Bow which my whole family absolutely loved by the way.

By the way, my daughter’s ALL TIME favourite meal is my Slow Cooked Beef Short Ribs. She can’t get enough of it and luckily it’s probably one of the easiest recipes on my blog!

Many of the ingredients in this recipe can be sourced from my one-stop-favourite, organic wholefoods online store, The Wholefood Collective. They go to great lengths to ensure everything they source is amazing quality, they stock all my favorite products and I don’t even have to leave the house! Oh, and the cherry on the cake is they donate profits to improve food security for vulnerable Aussies.

Here are some of the ingredients you’ll need:

Noodles
Tamari
Chicken broth powder
Cornflour
Extra virgin olive oil
