I've just made some 'poppadums' ( thanks for the recipe Mrs W !) with my Thai Chilli soup packet. Tried them last week too using the chicken soup packet but these were far tastier.
I'm just puzzled as to why the folks at LL tell us that they don't encourage us to 'cook' with the food packets because it will destroy all the nutrients because surely that's what we do when we microwave the soups ? What's the difference ? I added less water to the mix ( but made up for that by drinking more to accompany them. I microwaved them for roughly the same amount of time on exactly the same setting so I'm well and truly puzzled.
When I first read about these recipes , I thought why bother ? but after 3 weeks on slops I now realise that I'm desperate to bite on something. One bar a day doesn't satisfy that need.
Can anyone shed any light ?
