This dish is such a fantastic array of strong colours. Use regular chicken if you don’t like smoked, or flaked cooked salmon, or even sliced raw salmon that you’ve marinated in the juice of two limes for five minutes. Avocado and a few spring onions make the perfect vegetarian choice.

Pho is a Vietnamese favourite. It is a complex, flavoursome soup that is traditionally served at breakfast as a hearty start to the day but will work best as a delicious dinner. Traditionally made with beef or chicken, this vegetarian version is just as delicious. The stock is best made a day in advance to allow the flavours to fully develop. Although the ingredients list may seem long, the soup is very easy to make. The broth can be made in advance in bulk and frozen.
