Adapted the above as to what I had in the cupboards...didn't have any of the veg but had ginger and mushrooms, used garlic and caribbean seasoning and pasted lemongrass. Plus ready-made chicken stock pouch. Result was delicous and threw in some peppery salad leaves at the end. Spot on for a filling luch before hubby drove south for a few hours.
