We were supposed to have Vegie Patties last time but made these instead:

Onion Pancakes with Vegetables & Chilli Sauce

The things that went well were the Tomato Onion Salad with Tamarind, definitely a keeper, the Japanese Pancakes were just as delicious with beef strips rather than pork mince, and Pork Chow Mein Noodles (we had them already) are absolutely gorgeous even without the special Chinese wine in the sauce, and with more plain vegetables. They have a similar taste to each other.

We had a mince dish that was a hit too (hamburger). I grew up on savoury mince and I thought is was lovely. Char-grilled Vegetables Savoury Mince with creamed corn rather than corn kernels.
