Thai Seafood Basil

I love all Thai food, so when i found this recipe and adapted it for SW i was over the moon!!
You can make it as spicy as you like, by adjusting the amount of chillies and chilli sauce you put in. Add whatever vegetables you want too. It is also great with chicken. The whole dish is only 1.5 syns on extra easy and that's for the chilli sauce, so you can alter that to your taste. 1 tbsp is 0.5 syns on extra easy.
This dish serves 2/4 people.

Ingredients

1lb of raw squid and prawns
3 birds eye chillies sliced
3 tbsp chilli sauce
2 tsp fish sauce
juice of 1 lime
1 tbsp light soy sauce
big handful Thai basil
1 onion chopped
8oz oriental mushrooms
8oz tenderstem broccoli

Method

In a hot wok, sprayed with frylight, stir fry the onions for 1 minute, then add the broccoli and chillies, stir fry for 1 minute, add oriental mushrooms and stir fry for another minute, add the chilli sauce, fish sauce, lime juice and soy sauce, add the seafood and stir fry until the seafood is cooked, throw in the Thai leaves and serve.
It is great with rice or noodles.

Salmon Fishcakes

I make up a menu for evening meals each week, i had my crab cakes on the menu thinking i had some crab in the fridge, but when i came to make them i was mistaken there was no crab, so i decided to create a salmon cake recipe, and i am so glad i did. They were delicious!!!

If you're not using the bread as your healthy extra B then it is 6 syns, the horseradish is 1 syn on extra easy, i made 6 patties.

Ingredients

8 oz salmon fillet, seasoned and roasted, and cooled
1 red onion finely chopped
1 red pepper finely chopped
1 tbsp capers
1 tsp worcester sauce
1 tsp italian seasoning
½ tsp celery salt
1 slice of wholemeal bread from a 800g loaf made into crumbs 6 syns
1 egg beaten
1 tbsp horseradish sauce
salt and pepper to season


Method

In a pan sprayed with frylight fry the onions and peppers until they are soft, then add the capers fry for 1 minute, add the worcester sauce, italian seasoning and celery salt fry for 2 minutes. let it cool.

In a large bowl mix together the breadcrumbs, onion mixture, horseradish, and salmon and season, then mix in the flaked salmon.

Make into patties and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Fry the patties to brown on each side, then transfer to a baking tray and finish off in the oven for 10 minutes.

Seafood Kedgeree

This has got to be one of my favourite dishes of all time, and when i realised i could make one syn free and it tasted just as good, if not better than before, i was over the moon!!
