After my middling lunch at the Love Fit Cafe in Brighton (you can read the review here) I took a stroll into Brighton to do some shopping for my flat.

“Beige” is probably the best way to describe my flat the moment, although my old dear did get me a bonsai tree for Christmas which is somewhat brightening up the place, I was on the lookout for something to add a bit of colour.

As per usual though i was sidetracked by food and remembered a couple of my clients had mentioned to me a cheap Asian supermarket off the beaten path in Brighton so I thought I’d give it a whirl.

This place was AWESOME, even though I couldn’t read half of it I could tell the majority of the food was authentic Asian cuisine at about a third of the price so I went ahead and picked up some goodies; soy sauce, oyster sauce, minced garlic. Everything you can buy in your local supermarket but twice the size and much, much cheaper.

Not only that but I made a ground-breaking discovery in Holland and Barrett around a week or so before in this;

I’m cool with artificial sweeteners (in moderation) and would much prefer them over the real thing to reduce the calorie count. I had a recipe in mind that called for all my Asian goodies plus brown sugar, so this all worked out perfectly.

Very simple recipe with only a few ingredients and best of all you don;t even need to watch it over. Just bung it all in the slow cooker and half an hour before the end give it a stir and it’s done! Goes great with rice, noddles or even in a stir fry!
