Maggie's Tips

  • Instead of tofu add: seitan, tempeh, Jack fruit, nuts, seeds, bamboo shoots, bok choy, Chinese cabbage, carrots etc.
  • Meat or fish option: Add beef strips, pork strips, chicken pieces or Dublin bay prawns (beginning of stage 1).
  • Stuck for time or on a budget: Replace diced peppers, peas and sweetcorn with 350g mixed frozen vegetables. Make sure the vegetables are defrosted and drained of any water.
