After an almost month long hiatus from the kitchen, I realise how much I have missed cooking…..

My month long vacation in sunny tropical Malaysia took me on a food fest of many local dishes and fusion flavours; an indulgent guilt free eating journey of delectable proportions! From cafes, to restaurants to Hawker stalls, I made my way around many establishments and got to delight in most of what they had to offer.

My favourite has always been the fare that is offered at Hawker Stalls – a true fulfillment of my love for street food. I have always been inspired by Street food’s raw intensity, its ‘no thrills’ nature and the seemingly infinite variety of choice. It is truly an amazing experience to witness food that can be whipped up by the roadside, equivalent in taste to that of any three star restaurant.

So after returning to Melbourne fully inspired by my travels, my post today is all about ‘ready to go’ food. It is about mixing and matching, with a bit of influence from here and there to create a simple healthy food choice.

In this recipe, Asian Pork Patties are pulled together with some fresh herbs and salad ingredients in a healthy wrap that is great for lunch. If wraps are not your style, then simply omit and eat it as a Pork Patty Salad tossed in with all the featured ingredients. A great light Summer healthy meal either way!
