crustychick ...I was going to say Bulghur wheat...but you could also do glass noodles and make a Vietnamese style dressing..fresh chilli/chilli flakes/soy/lime juice/sugar...with some shredded Chinese leaf and carrots, beanspouts, peanuts/cashews and loads of fresh coriander and mint.
My boy's 14th today B-) ...have taken the ribs my daughter fussed about out of their tomatoey sauce and turned that into a pasta sauce to freeze
and put the ribs in the slow cooker with some soy, ginger, star anise and onion and will do some rice and salad to go with it...then more of his birthday cappuccino cake with cream for pudding (and if she STILL doesn't like em she can have beans on bloody toast
).
