Hi! I just hosted a barbeque and tried making a potato salad. Very easy!!

Easy potato salad (scaled down for 10 )

500g potatoes(peeled, cut to bite size pieces)
100g bacon
Mayonaise
salt and pepper to taste
basil, mint or any herbs

1) Cook potatoes in salted water till almost soft. (careful we dont want mash potatoes).Drain, set aside.
2) Fry up bacon with a bit of oil. When it looks crisp, dish out. Crumble it. (Use knife and chop if you want)
3) Combine all.
4) Serve hot. WONDERFUL!!

Enjoy!!

Very fast tom yum noodles:



Need: (serves 4)

Instant Tom Yum Paste (see pic in my blog)
Fresh red chilli X 2 (sliced)
Garlic, onion
Chicken broth
150gms Glass noodles
Bunch of coriander

This needs tasting expertise, you've to taste as you go!! :0)

Ok, for 4 people, we need about 12 cups of chicken broth, or about 2 L. Bring it to a boil in a pot, and add chilli, garlic, onion.
After 1 minute, add in 3 tbsp of instant tom yum. Taste. If it's too diluted, add tom yum paste, if not spicy enough, add more fresh chilli.
When you're satisfied with the taste, add in the glass noodles. Please note that the glass noodles will soak up a lot of the broth, and the noodles cook fast. So, about 1-2 minutes should be sufficient.
Serve immediately and garnish with coriander.
