thai style chilli pork mince with oyster mushrooms

I miss Asian food soooo much here in Greece that each Sunday I make a new dish and introduce my 'greek' family to new flavours.

Now it's becoming a ritual....

Here's the menu for todays lunch

Spicy chilli pork mince with jasmine rice. Garlic oyster mushrooms. Steamed broccoli with sesame seeds and sweet soy sauce. cucumber and lettuce salad.

And of course a glass or two of a light sav blanc.
