Beer Food

I know I said I was planning on keeping this month healthy, and drinking beer probably isn't in line with this sentiment.....but if you do have a beer, try these healthy snacks next time. Both the cucumbers and chicken sticks are inspired by dining at Supernormal, using asian flavours from China, Japan and Korea. Again no fat in either of these dishes, and the use of the fermented chilli and miso pastes is another great flavour hack.
