Contributor: Melanie Chan

This is a recipe that can be adapted in all sorts of ways, it can be vegetarian or vegan.  This is my regular breakfast dish, now that I have more time to make and eat it due to working from home most of the time – during lockdowns. I also follow the well known saying, breakfast like a king! In other words eat a hearty and substantial breakfast.
