Thai Green Curry & Fuyong Egg.

Want your vegetables and meat in the same bowl? Easy! Curries are the answer. For those of you who miss Eisen's scoring system, he gave this meal a 7/10. It has been really busy at uni so I haven't had the time to sit down properly and type out the recipes one by one. So if you really do want a recipe, just leave a comment (I have enabled anonymous comments), I promise I will get back to you asap. I hope everyone is having fun in the kitchen! :)
