Finished with roasted peanuts and sesame seeds, it's a refreshing tropical salad that's anything but ordinary.
Jajangmyeon is one of Korea's most iconic noodle dishes, featuring thick wheat noodles topped with a rich, savoury black bean sauce made with pork belly and vegetables.

Delicious Indonesian Fried Rice, known as Nasi Goreng, is one of Indonesia’s most iconic street food dishes. Built on day-old rice, shrimp paste and kecap manis, this Delicious Indonesian Fried Rice recipe delivers deep savoury flavour with a slightly sweet, caramelised finish.
Unlike classic Chinese egg fried rice, Nasi Goreng relies on shrimp paste for umami and kecap manis for its signature dark, treacly richness. Finished with a crispy fried egg on top and optional sambal, it is bold, comforting and full of texture.
Chinese Garlic & Egg Fried Rice is one of the fundamental building blocks of Cantonese home cooking. This Chinese Garlic & Egg Fried Rice recipe focuses on two essentials: properly chilled rice and high heat wok control. By making a simple garlic infused oil first and cooking each ingredient in sequence, you achieve separate grains, light egg ribbons and that signature smoky wok flavour.
The key to great fried rice is cold, day old rice. Fresh rice contains too much moisture and will clump together. Once chilled overnight, the grains firm up and separate easily when stir fried at high heat.
This Kuala Lumpur-style Hokkien Mee is a rich and savoury stir-fried noodle dish with pork belly, prawns and crisp greens, all coated in a glossy dark soy sauce. Finished with Shaoxing wine and a silky sauce, it's a comforting one-wok meal packed with smoky flavour.
Classic Ginger Spring Onion Chicken
Super Simple Chinese Chicken & Asparagus Stir Fry is the kind of quick midweek dish you would cook a few times a week in a Cantonese household. This Super Simple Chinese Chicken & Asparagus Stir Fry recipe focuses on high heat, clean flavours and proper wok technique to achieve tender chicken, crisp asparagus and a silky sauce.
The balance comes from light soy sauce, oyster sauce and Shaoxing rice wine, while a pinch of five spice in the marinade adds subtle warmth. Cornflour in the chicken marinade creates that signature silky coating that thickens the sauce naturally when it hits the wok.
These Thai-style mussels are a quick, aromatic dish cooked in a fragrant coconut sauce with lemongrass, galangal and herbs. The rich, creamy broth is balanced with fish sauce and palm sugar, creating a perfect harmony of sweet, savoury and fresh flavours.
This Mala Chicken is a fiery Sichuan stir-fry featuring tender marinated chicken, smoky dried chillies and aromatic Sichuan peppercorns. Finished with a glossy savoury sauce and fresh garnishes, it's a bold, restaurant-style dish that's perfect with steamed rice.
Macau Style Pork Chop Bun
Hong Kong Pork Chop Sandwich, also known as a Macau style pork chop bun, is one of the most iconic street food snacks found across Hong Kong and Macau. This Hong Kong Pork Chop Sandwich recipe keeps things simple and nostalgic, featuring a tenderised pork chop marinated in soy, five spice and rice wine, deep fried until golden and served inside a crusty roll with Japanese mayo.
It is a guilty pleasure classic. The pork is lightly bashed to tenderise, coated in a creamy cornflour marinade, then fried at controlled heat to keep it juicy inside while crisp on the outside. Served in a cheap and cheerful crusty roll, this sandwich is all about texture and flavour.

Easy Egg Drop Soup is a comforting Chinese classic, known in the UK as sweetcorn egg soup. This Easy Egg Drop Soup recipe combines homemade chicken stock, sweetcorn and shiitake mushrooms with silky ribbons of seasoned egg swirled gently into the broth. The result is light yet deeply savoury, with natural sweetness from the corn and beautiful wisps of egg throughout.
The key to perfect egg drop soup is technique. The broth should be gently thickened before the egg is added, then taken off the heat so the egg forms delicate ribbons instead of scrambling.
