SURF &

TURF OUT

SICK DAYS

Vigorous gym work and long

office hours mean training flu

is always just a germ-laden

dumbbell away. If you’re on

the ropes, it’s best to reach

for immunity-galvanising

mouthfuls with a knockout

flavour profile to match.

Something like this East-

meets-West double stack.

METHOD

01 Muster your

energy reserves to

combine the Asian

’slaw ingredients,

then set the dish

aside for a couple of

hours while you catch

up on work emails/

your sofa-bound

boxset binge.

02 Now the good bit.

Barring the buns

and the prawns, stick

all of the burger
