    Speedy Caprese Salad Stack
    Prep Time: 5 minutes
    Cook Time: 0 minutes (5 minutes if making balsamic reduction)Serves: 2

    Ingredients:- 2 large ripe tomatoes- 200g fresh mozzarella cheese- 1 bunch fresh basil leaves- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar (or balsamic glaze)- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

    For Balsamic Reduction (optional):- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

    Instructions:

    1. Wash and slice the tomatoes into 3-4 thick rounds per serving.
    2. Slice the mozzarella into an equal number of slices as the tomatoes.
    3. Wash and pat dry the basil leaves.
    4. On each plate, begin layering: tomato slice, mozzarella slice, basil leaf. Repeat to create 3 layers.
    5. If making balsamic reduction: In a small saucepan, simmer balsamic vinegar over medium heat until reduced by half and syrupy (about 5 minutes). Let cool slightly.
    6. Drizzle the balsamic vinegar or reduction over the stacks.
    7. Finish with a light drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of salt, and a crack of black pepper.

    Chef Tony's Tips:- For the best flavor, use the ripest tomatoes you can find. They should be red and slightly soft to the touch.- If you can't find fresh mozzarella, buffalo mozzarella or bocconcini will work great too.- Don't skip the basil! It's what gives the dish its signature fresh flavor.- This salad is best assembled just before serving to keep the tomatoes and mozzarella at their freshest.

    Enjoy your stack of Italian-inspired deliciousness, mates!

    Pronto Pesto Chicken Wrap
    Prep Time: 5 minutes
    Cook Time: 0 minutes Serves: 2

    Ingredients:- 2 large tortillas or flatbreads- 1 cup shredded rotisserie chicken- 4 tablespoons pesto (store-bought or homemade)- 1 cup mixed salad leaves- 1 ripe avocado, sliced- 1 medium tomato, sliced- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese- Salt and pepper to taste

    Instructions:

    1. Lay out your tortillas or flatbreads on a clean surface.
    2. Spread 2 tablespoons of pesto on each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
    3. Divide the shredded chicken between the two wraps, placing it in the center of each tortilla.
    4. Layer on the salad leaves, sliced avocado, and tomato.
    5. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the vegetables.
    6. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
    7. To wrap, fold in both sides of the tortilla, then roll tightly from the bottom up, keeping the filling tucked in as you go.
    8. Optional: For easier eating, wrap in parchment paper or foil.
    9. Slice in half diagonally and serve immediately.

    Chef Tony's Tips:- Don't overstuff your wrap – it's tempting, but it'll make rolling much harder!- If you're making these in advance, consider leaving out the avocado until just before serving to prevent browning.- For a spicy kick, add a few drops of hot sauce or some thinly sliced jalapeños.- Make it vegetarian by substituting the chicken with grilled vegetables or halloumi cheese.

    Enjoy your lightning-fast, flavor-packed wrap, mates!

    Flash Fried Rice
    Prep Time: 3 minutesCook Time: 5 minutesServes: 2-3

    Ingredients:- 2 cups cold, cooked rice- 2 eggs, lightly beaten- 1 cup mixed vegetables (e.g., carrots, peas, corn), chopped- 1 cup cooked protein (e.g., ham, chicken, prawns, tofu), diced- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil- 2 tablespoons soy sauce- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce- 1 teaspoon sesame oil- 2 spring onions, chopped (for garnish)- Salt and pepper to taste- Chili sauce (optional)
    Instructions:

    1. Heat oil in a large wok or frying pan over high heat until smoking.
    2. Add chopped vegetables and stir-fry for about 1 minute until slightly tender but still crisp.
    3. Push vegetables to one side of the wok, pour in beaten eggs, and scramble quickly.
    4. Add cold rice to the wok, breaking up any clumps. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes, mixing with vegetables and egg.
    5. Add diced protein and toss to combine.
    6. Pour in soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until everything is well combined and heated through.
    7. Taste and adjust seasonings with salt, pepper, or additional sauces as needed.
    8. Serve hot, garnished with chopped spring onions.

    Chef Tony's Tips:- Cold rice is key for the perfect texture. If you only have fresh rice, spread it on a tray and refrigerate for 15 minutes before cooking.- Don't be afraid to use whatever leftovers you have in the fridge - fried rice is all about improvisation!- For a vegetarian version, skip the oyster sauce and use extra soy sauce or hoisin sauce instead.- If you like it spicy, add a dollop of your favorite chili sauce or some dried chili flakes.

    Enjoy your lightning-fast fried rice, mates!
