Top and tail the spring onions slice lengthways into thin strips approx 3" long. Cut the cucumber into 3" chunks and slice into thin batons.
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips.
Heat the oil in the wok until smoking, add the chicken and stir fry for 7-8 minutes or until golden brown on the outside and white on the inside.

Answer 3

oh i made cod in the oven...add a little butter, salt and herbs then wrap in foil. bake for about 20 mins and serve with all sorts...cous cous, salad, potatoes, pasta its so yummy and im sure could be done with most fish types.

I nearly always eat some kind of meat grilled and then with the above but have been cutting out starchy stuff to lose a little weight.

Any leftovers can make a nice salad or ommelette the next day

Answer 4

Fresh tuna steaks are delicious, put a bit of lemon juice on the steaks before cooking them in a hot griddle pan for a couple of minutes either side, the longer you cook them the tougher they are, I have them with new potatoes and a side salad.

Answer 5
