The box was clear – it said “Serves 6”
hidden away within the circular foil tray
little spicy moments ready to be released
wonderous aromas of ginger, anise and five spice
fused in a rich tomato and cinnamon base
wafting under the nose as the tray turned, like a gymnast
flipping the contents upside down
cascading onto fine porcelain
caught by noodles ? – a distinctive choice
as crispy ruby strips of finest vegetable, beef and chicken
landed on top of one another
held in differing sensations with each forkful
unified by the barbecue sauce
