Try her recipe below, then discover more Japanese recipes. Read more about Verna Gao's food travel series. "My new obsession post-Japan is tsukemen and I think this is a genius way to liven up a standard packet of instant noodles. Tsukemen is a Japanese ramen style where cold, chewy noodles are served separately and dipped into a hot, ultra-concentrated broth. If you think about it, instant ramen is kind of perfect for this. By deliberately undercooking the noodles and shocking them in an ice bath, they stay super bouncy and springy, while using less water for the soup packet keeps the broth rich and punchy. "Add a few strategic cheats (roasted ham brushed with sweet soy, jammy soy-marinated eggs) and suddenly this stops feeling like a hack and starts feeling intentional. I genuinely didn’t expect to like this as much as I did. Would you try it? For the full recipe on how to make those picture-perfect ramen eggs, search the internet for 'Verna soy eggs'."

description: Our couscous recipes showcase this storecupboard staple as a versatile base for nutritious meals, from roast cauli salad to spiced salmon and harissa chicken broth
encoded: Looking for couscous recipes? Even though it may look like a grain, couscous is actually a type of pasta made from semolina flour (from durum wheat) mixed with water. It's most commonly used in hearty salads, tagines and side dishes in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines, but it's also great to stuff into roasted peppers and stir into stews. The best way to hydrate couscous is with a 1:1 couscous to liquid ratio. You can even use stock rather than just plain water as this will add more initial flavour. Simply fluff it up with a fork at the end to achieve the optimum texture. Try our couscous recipes below, or check out our vegetarian salad ideas, quinoa recipes, bulgar wheat recipes and recipes with buckwheat.

I added a few handfuls of spinach to wilt into the sauce at the end, plus a sprinkling of parsley on top. For a plant-based egg swap - which adds 1½ plant points - blend a block of silken tofu with ½ tsp of turmeric, 1 tbsp of nutritional yeast and seasoning. Finally, swapping white bread for wholemeal easily adds another plant point." View Green Video on the source website Note these changes to the recipe will alter the nutritional information displayed.

encoded: Looking for the best feta recipes? Looking for a vegetarian salad? Try our ideas below then check out our easy Greek recipes, too? What is feta cheese? Feta cheese is a brined cheese made from sheep's milk and originating from Greece. It's characteristically tangy, salty flavour and crumbly texture make it a staple in many Mediterranean-style dishes including salads and filo pastries as well as pasta and other warm dishes. It can be served cold cut up into squares in a salad or sprinkled over dishes as crumbs. It can also be baked or grilled whole and combined with sweet toppings like honey or sprinkled with herbs like oregano. How long does feta last? A pack of unopened, vacuum-sealed feta can last up to three months in the fridge. Once opened, it should be consumed within a week and kept in its original brine or another saltwater solution to maintain its moisture and freshness. Without brine, feta tends to dry out quickly and should be used within a few days. For longer term storage, feta can be frozen for up to six months, though this may alter its texture slightly, making it more crumbly. Feta cheese recipes Baked feta pasta Creamy feta, tomatoes and olives come together in this super simple pasta bake. Casarecce or gemelli pasta shapes work well here, as does a rocket salad served on the side. Whipped feta with apricots, olives and oranges This savoury dip is great to kick off a party – loaded with festive dried fruits and nuts. The pomegranate drizzle adds an extra puckering twist. Spanakopita Check out this traditional Greek spanakopita pie, stuffed with feta and spring onion, leek and spinach. It's an easy recipe using thin filo pastry for a lovely crunch once baked. Baked feta in filo with honey-tahini dressing Baked feta is dressed in a golden honey-tahini dressing. Feta ranges from very soft – so creamy and spreadable – to hard, which is tangy and often saltier. The best feta is matured in wooden barrels, as this adds a spicy note. Greek salad Feta stars …

Whether you’re after inventive quiche fillings or a classic savoury quiche, we’ve got plenty to inspire. Don’t miss our collection of savoury tart ideas, too. What to serve with quiche Quiche pairs well with a crisp green salad, a creamy potato salad or a vibrant slaw for a fresh and crunchy contrast. Add chutney or crème fraîche on the side, and enjoy warm or cold – perfect for picnics, parties and lunchboxes. Can you freeze quiche? Yes, you can freeze quiche. Freezing is a handy option if you want to get ahead or have leftovers to save for another time. For optimal results, freeze the quiche after it has been fully baked and cooled. Wrap it in a thin layer of foil and place it in an airtight, reusable, freezer-safe bag. Can you reheat quiche? Yes, you can reheat quiche. To enjoy the best texture, reheat your quiche in the oven rather than the microwave. Reheating in the microwave is a great, speedy solution, but you will sacrifice some of the quiche's texture. Warming it in the oven helps keep the pastry crisp and the filling evenly heated. Place the quiche on a baking tray, cover loosely with foil, and heat at 180°C/fan 160°C/gas 4 until piping hot throughout. If you’re reheating individual slices, they’ll take less time than a whole quiche. Always ensure the quiche is thoroughly heated before serving. Quick and easy quiche recipes Quiche Lorraine A really good quiche is more about what you leave out than put in. We have kept this one simple with creamy gruyère and salty pancetta for extra richness. This traditional quiche is bound to be a crowd pleaser.
