Spicy tuna and vegetable spring rolls

Spicy tuna and vegetable spring rolls
Canned tuna may not be a gourmet ingredient but, trust me, you can turn it into a beautiful dish by using it as spring roll filling. Pair the fried spring rolls with a good dipping sauce. Serve with rice as a main course. Or serve by themselves as an appetizer or snack. Great with hot tea on the side.

Chicken and pineapple skewers
Salty, sweet and tangy with a little heat. That’s how chicken tastes when you combine fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, onion, chilies, ginger and garlic. Add the sweetness of peppers and pineapple, and the smokiness of the grill, and it's just superb.
