Meal planners - what's on your list?

mmm Willow aren't they (lamb koftas) the best! I never realised lamb mince was so cheap until recentley so have been making them a fair bit.

I cheat and use the laksa paste from the jar The asia@home one is my fave but can't find it sometimes so often get the valcom brand one which is pretty good. Just fry it with some chicken/prawns/tofu add a little water, coconut milk and rice noodles. Bit of spring onion, bean shoots, coriander on top and also those yummy dried, fried shallots. YUM! I have made the paste from scratch a few times but it takes a while. I'm happy to send you the recipe if you're interested

Mbear - Great minds.... I did the shopping today and grabbed the fresh lasagne sheets! Will give it a go tomorrow night I think.

ally - I brought that paste today! No way do I have the time or skill to make it from scratch, but thanks anyway! I will probably make this for DH and I next weekend. Where can I get the fried shallots? I love those! I had forgotten how much I love laksa, I used to eat it a lot when I was working in the city...YUM!

Any asian grocer Willow...some supermarkets will have them too depending on where you live. Noodle soups are the best....especially in winter!
