Fast food for the working week … there's more

There are optional extras depending on whether you want to add carbs, for example, the fastest would be microwaved rice – ideal for a working week supper.

Noodle nests work well too. They are available in fine or medium and come in 250g bags. You'll get five nests in each bag and each nest weighs 62.5g. If I use nests, I submerge however many nests I need in boiling water (covering two thirds of the nest) together with a vegetable stock pot – a wok works well - leave for for a few minutes then turn the nests and you'll find that they are loosening and you're able to separate the noodles – perfect to stir fry. Drain the noodles and set aside. Stir fry your veggies and chicken as mentioned, add the noodles and toss through thoroughly then finish with the stir fry sauce.

Just for reference, here's a photo of the noodle nest :


It may sound a bit long winded but I promise you it's not.

If you prefer the Asian Spiced Salmon version bake the marinated salmon for 15 minutes as mentioned in the protein to go with the slaw. You can bake ahead, cool and fridge, so whenever is convenient for you. Stir fry the veggies and/or noodles as previously then gently break the salmon into pieces and fold through the stir fry with the sauce.

Alternatively you could serve the chicken or salmon with roasted new potatoes and stir fried veggies if you don't fancy rice or noodles, hot or cold, delicious and fast.

Now for the Sunday roast ...
