Heat half the oil in a wok, or large frying pan, over a medium heat and fry the salmon, skin-side down, for 3-4 minutes. Turn over and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a plate, then flake into large pieces, discarding the skin, and keep warm.

Meanwhile, bring a large pan of water to the boil, add the noodles and cook for 3-4 minutes. Drain, reserving 100ml cooking water.

Heat the remaining oil in the frying pan or wok and add the mixed pepper stir-fry, cooking for 2-3 minutes. Add the peas, most of the spring onions and the garlic. Stir-fry for 2 minutes more before pouring over the teriyaki sauce and the reserved cooking water.

Toss the noodles and salmon with the vegetables, drizzle over the soy sauce and serve garnished with the remaining spring onions and lime wedges.

Heat the oil in a large pan and fry the onion, carrot and celery for 8-10 minutes, until golden and tender. Season, add the mince and cook for a further 5-6 minutes until browned all over.

Stir in the tomato purée and chopped tomatoes. Rinse the tomato cartons out with a good splash of water and add this to the pan. Bring to the boil then simmer for 10-12 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.

Meanwhile, mix 2 tbsp of the milk with the cornflour into a paste. Pour the remaining milk into a pan, season and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the cornflour paste and soft cheese. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until thickened, then stir in the cheese – reserving a little for the top of the lasagne.

To assemble, spread a third of the meat sauce over the base of an 18cm baking dish. Top with 3 of the lasagne sheets, then a third of the white sauce. Continue with the rest of the ingredients, before sprinkling over the reserved cheese.

Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C/fan 180°C/gas mark 6 for 35-40 minutes, until golden and bubbling.

Mist a large pan with spray oil and brown the meat all over (you may need to do this in two batches). Transfer the browned meat to the slow cooker, then add the onion to the pan and cook for 5 minutes, until browned and softened. Add the garlic with the chilli flakes, cumin and paprika and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.

Add this to the slow cooker with the chopped tomatoes, ale, beef stock, kidney beans, peppers, dried mixed herbs, bay leaf and tomato puree. Put the slow cooker on a low setting for 7-8 hours covered with the lid until the beef is completely tender. 

Towards the end of cooking, preheat the oven to 180°C/gas mark 4. Cut the tortillas in half then cut each of these halves into 8 triangles. Spread these over a large baking sheet and sprinkle over smoked paprika. Bake for 8-10 minutes until crisp, then leave to cool.

Once the beef has finished cooking, place a colander over a wide saucepan and transfer the chilli to this, allowing all the liquid to fall in to the saucepan. Place the meat and vegetables in the colander over a bowl to catch any further liquid. 

Place the saucepan with the liquid over a high heat and reduce for 10 minutes so that it goes down by roughly half. Add the meat back into the pan and warm through, then divide between 4 bowls. Divide the tortillas and add the sliced jalapeños, chopped coriander and soured cream to serve.
