Today for lunch I had some leftovers from the dinner Mum cooked for Christina and Jocelyn. Thai basil chicken with green beans and rice. The beans were just the frozen kind that I chucked in the container. They reheat really well in the microwave because of their water content.


At home, I didn't really know what to have for dinner without having to do too much preparation. So...I decided on making a quick salad and having it with the pork chops my mum had made for my sisters.

Lemongrass Pork Chops
Rocket
canned Mixed Beans
Avocado
Pinenuts
drizzled with a sweet chilli dressing


The dressing I used was an experiment. Not wanting to go outside in the freezing night to pick some fresh chillies, I decided to use Teresa's sweet chilli sauce to make the dressing. To a good sized tablespoon of the chilli sauce, I added some olive oil and white wine vinegar and whisked it together. Tasted great!! I can't wait to see Teresa again to let her know how versatile her chilli sauce is.

The pork chops my mum made were different tonight. She had been processing some lemongrass earlier in the evening and decided to marinate the pork in that with some other ingredients. Tasted delicious!
