I thought pasta was made with eggs, so how is that Vegan?!

A lot of dried pasta in supermarkets are eggless. They are made with wheat. Look for the wheat with the highest protein %.

Not all wheat pastas a created equally. Hope this helps.

Can't wait to try this - although suspect I'll struggle to find frozen soya beans. Are they easy to get?

Yes, Tesco have sold them for a while now, I think Asda too

Made a pleasant change from the usual sandwiches but wasn't the tastiest salad I've ever had.

I really love this, it's so quick, cheap and delicious! It looks lovely and colourful with the carrot and beans too. Excellent lunchbox filler.

I didn't have any soy sauce so used a little sesame oil instead and it was lush! Great to make the night before and bring into work. Really filled me up!
