    Quick & Easy Chinese Special Fried Rice

    Hong Kong Style Leftover Fried Rice

    Quick & Easy Chinese Special Fried Rice is one of the most fundamental wok dishes in Chinese cooking. This Quick & Easy Chinese Special Fried Rice recipe is all about heat control, constant movement and using quality leftovers to create something deeply savoury and satisfying.

    In Cantonese cuisine, “special” fried rice usually means a combination of meats and seafood, often including char siu, prawns and chicken. The key to great fried rice is day-old chilled rice, a smoking hot wok and what Jeremy calls “dancing rice” where the grains jump freely off the surface of the wok.

      Amazing Thai Red Curry

      Sweet Potato & Prawn Coconut Curry

      Amazing Thai Red Curry is a vibrant Southeast Asian classic built around a freshly pounded curry paste, gently simmered in coconut milk until rich, fragrant and deeply flavoured. This Amazing Thai Red Curry recipe combines sweet potato, pea aubergines and prawns for a perfect balance of sweetness, spice and savoury depth.

      The key to an authentic Thai red curry lies in making the paste from scratch. Using a pestle and mortar releases the natural oils from lemongrass, galangal, turmeric and chilli, creating a far more aromatic base than shop bought paste. Gradually adding coconut milk and allowing the oils to split intensifies the flavour and gives the curry its signature richness.
