Growing up in South East Asia, I absolutely loved the local food and one of my favourites was a mock-meat ham fried rice. Clearly the Malaysians were well ahead with their vegan food offerings!

Super easy to make and just the tiniest bit of forward planning.

A perfect one pot meal, you can’t beat a warm and protein-packed bean chilli. Mixed it up with any variety of beans (the more the merrier) and don’t forget the smoked paprika. Always essential for a chilli.
