Crispy Sesame Chicken Pieces
My tahini obsession has reached new heights recently and this chicken is the best thing to come out of it.

Sesame, Miso and Ginger One Pot Chicken Ramen
Basically ramen. But I cheated, and made it quick and easy, like almost as easy as 2 minute noodles but full of goodness and yummy nourishing things rather than a weird dehydrated sachet of ‘flavour’. But let’s be honest, I might be trash talking that stuff but I crave it sometimes as it was the comfort food of my childhood and then hangover food of my teenage years and very early twenties. Don’t judge me, just admire how far I’ve come;)
