Rice for eating
• Preheat oven to roast the salmon
• Pour a glass of wine.
• Take off the Manolos
• Sit down
• Put on music
• Get out knife and start chopping the garlic into slices, the chillie, and the spring onion into 3 cm slices.
• Then chop up the capsicum into chic little thin sticks : think models
• Slice ginger into match sticks too; think Jimmy Choo stiletto heel
• Pick off the leaves from coriander for accessorizing. This is boring. Delegate
• Pop the Salmon in the oven. No need for oil or anything, it oils itself. ..(it has built in Crème de la Mer.)
• Make sure the salmon (or what ever fish you are cooking) is nearly ready before you start cooking the stir fry. You know the stir fry takes no time at all and who wants soggy vegetables? Maybe Paris Hilton.
• Also perhaps it’s a good time to put on the rice so that it can sit there and have a little ponder while you do the vegetables
• Now mix up the stock, sugar and fish sauce in a cup so you can just toss it in quickly during the stir frying
• Mix the corn flour with the rice wine so you can toss that in later too.
• Heat the wok
• Throw in the oil
• Quick pour another glass of wine!
• Stir fry the ginger, chilli , capsicum, and half of the spring onions for about 2 minutes• Pour in the stock/sugar/fish sauce and let it summer for a couple of mins
• Stir in the cornflour/rice wine and stir so that it thickens a bit.
• Set aside while you take the salmon out and let it rest. But don’t let it go to sleep.
• Serve up the vegetables into bowls on top of the rice
• Flake the salmon top. Make sure you give your self a bit more while no-one is looking• Sprinkle over the coriander and the rest of the spring onions for chic green accessorizing a la Prada
• Sensational and so slimmingNow you can eat chocolate for dessert and have more wine.
