When not gossiping – those spare five minutes in the day – I’ve been feasting on marinated quail breasts with noodle stir-fry (just chomped the leftovers for lunch, mmm)

I love succulent little quail breasts and Woolies had them on special for $11 for 400g, so I couldn’t resist. I marinated them in honey and soy and paired them with rice noodles. The kids weren’t the least bit bothered by eating little birds – as long as they were tender – so this recipe was a hit with the whole family.

Recipe: Quail & noodle stir-fry

400g quail breasts

1 tablespoon soy sauce

2 tablespoons honey

3 tablespoons rice bran/peanut oil

2 garlic cloves, chopped

5cm piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated

4 green shallots, chopped

1 bunch bok choy, roughly chopped

400g fresh rice noodles

1/2 cup chicken stock

Juice of 1 fresh lime

Chilli sambal sauce to serve

METHOD: Marinate quail breasts in 1 tablespoon oil, soy sauce and honey for two hours. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a heavy based frying pan or wok. Stir-fry quail breasts until golden. Remove to a plate and keep warm. Add a little more oil to the pan. Stir-fry garlic, ginger and shallots until softened. Add bok choy, stir-fry 1 minute. Add noodles, chicken stock and lime juice. Bring to a boil then simmer for 5 minutes. Add quail breasts. Serve in bowls with a dollop of sambal for the adults, if desired.
