Immy loves to eat tacos and burritos and this got me thinking about similar types of foods that I could introduce to her. Looking through the cookbook from the child care centre which I ran for 5 years I came across the recipe for Sang Choy Bow, of course this one is kids style! The children at the centre really enjoyed this one, must be something to do with eating with your hands!
