• Place the rice crispies in a large bowl.
• Stir the mixture on to the top of the cereal, til all is covered.

Steps:

• Mix sauce (last 7 ingredients) together in a blender so it's ready to go.
• Saute broccoli and carrots in 2 tbsp of water for 3-4 minutes.
• Add leek and pepper and cook 1-2 minutes.
• Add peas and greens and cook 1-2 minutes.
• Add rice, seeds, and nuts, and cook 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
• Add sauce. Cook 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, then serve.

Steps:

• To make the sauce: Combine the coconut milk, peanut butter, chile sauce, lime juice, vinegar, lemongrass paste, fish sauce and black pepper. Season with a pinch of salt. Add water to thin as needed. Whisk to combine and set aside.
• For the noodles: Heat a griddle pan on medium-high heat or preheat a broiler to high. Skewer 3 shrimp with two parallel skewers to make 4 skewers with 3 shrimp each. Sprinkle the shrimp with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, combine the soy with the lime juice and zest; reserve half in a separate small bowl. Brush or drizzle one of the portions of soy-lime over the shrimp. Cook on the griddle until lightly browned, about 3 minutes per side. Brush the shrimp with the remaining soy-lime. Add a touch of olive oil to the shrimp after flipping to avoid sticking.
• Toss the noodles in a bowl with the sesame oil and the black and white sesame seeds. Arrange the rice noodles at the bottom of a serving bowl. Drizzle some of the peanut sauce on top. Top with the carrots, cilantro, cucumbers, daikon and scallions. Add the shrimp skewers to the bowl. Serve warm with a lime wedge and extra peanut sauce on the side.

Steps:

• Whisk together all the sauce ingredients until smooth, then season to taste. Set half aside. Add 2 tbsp cold water to the remaining half to loosen. Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
• Mix together the chicken, aubergine, pepper and sweetcorn with the thicker sauce in a roasting tin. Season, cover with foil and bake for 25-30 mins, until the chicken is cooked through and the veg is soft.
• Meanwhile, cook the rice following pack instructions, then combine with the baked chicken and veg. Drizzle over the loosened sauce. If freezing, leave to cool completely first. Can be frozen for up to one month. Sauce can be frozen separately. Defrost thoroughly before reheating in the oven at 200C/180C fan/gas 6 for 35-40 mins. Top with the serving ingredients.

Steps:

• Place the raw peanuts and rice in separate bowls, and add enough water to cover each by 2 inches. Soak at room temperature for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.
• Drain the peanuts and transfer to a blender. Pour in 2 cups room-temperature water and purée on high speed until smooth. Strain the liquid through a fine-mesh strainer or a sieve lined with muslin or two layers of cheesecloth, into a medium pot. Return the solids to the blender and combine with another 2 cups room-temperature water. Blend on high until puréed. Repeat the straining process, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. The remaining solids should be dry and crumbly. Discard the solids. You should have 4 cups of peanut milk in the pot.
• Drain the rice and transfer to the blender (no need to wash). Pour in 2 cups room-temperature water and purée on high to grind the rice until smooth.
• To the pot of peanut milk, add the selim seed pods, ginger, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cayenne and cloves. Heat the milk and spices over medium, whisking frequently, until steam begins to rise from the surface, about 6 minutes. If using ground spices, continue to the next step. If using whole spices, including selim pods, turn off the heat, cover and allow the spices to steep for up to 10 minutes. Remove the spices with a slotted spoon after steeping.
• Turn the heat to medium-low and whisk in the ground rice purée. Cook, stirring frequently until the mixture is thick enough for your whisk to leave a faint line as you drag it across the surface and any bubbles slowly rise to the surface, 8 minutes. Cover and simmer without stirring for about 4 minutes to fully cook the ground rice. Any coarse ground rice should be cooked through and soft, not starchy.
• Serve the porridge in bowls that are warm or at room temperature. Top with a spoonful of tamarind paste for a slightly tangy finish and sweeten with granulated sugar, honey or chopped dates.

Steps:

• Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Remove from heat; add noodles. Let sit, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 4 minutes (time may vary by brand). Drain and rinse under cold running water.
• Meanwhile, whisk peanut butter, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, red pepper flakes, and 1 cup water in a medium bowl. (Sauce will look a little broken and lumpy.)
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium. Cook pork, breaking up with 2 forks, until nearly cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add ginger and garlic; cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add collard greens and cook, stirring occasionally, just until wilted, about 2 minutes. Add sauce and noodles and bring to a simmer; cook, tossing occasionally, until sauce is reduced by half and coats noodles, about 3 minutes. Season with salt.
