Szechuan Potato Stir Fry, known as Tu Dou Si, is a classic Chinese dish made from finely shredded potatoes stir fried with aromatics and fragrant spices. The potatoes are soaked to remove excess starch, giving them a crisp, slightly tangy texture. Infused with Sichuan peppercorns and dried chillies, the dish delivers a light, aromatic flavour rather than intense heat.

Cheung Fun Rice Noodle Rolls are one of the most iconic dishes in Cantonese dim sum.

These Vietnamese Lemongrass BBQ Pork Chops are marinated in a fragrant blend of lemongrass, garlic, fish sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce and palm sugar before being grilled over a barbecue and repeatedly glazed with a sticky tamarind-honey sauce.

Super Tasty Fish Fillet Tofu Rolls are a delicate dim sum style dish made with tender chunks of white fish and crisp winter melon wrapped in bean curd skin, tied with chives and steamed in a light savoury sauce. This Super Tasty Fish Fillet Tofu Rolls recipe focuses on balance of texture, tight rolling technique and finishing with a glossy oyster sauce that gently steams into the rolls.
Bean curd skin, also known as tofu skin, provides a unique bite that softens beautifully when steamed while still holding structure. The fish remains soft and flaky, while the winter melon adds clean crunch and freshness.
Pillowy Soft Chinese Steamed Sponge Cake, often known in Cantonese as Ma Lai Go, is a light, airy dim sum classic traditionally enjoyed alongside tea. This Pillowy Soft Chinese Steamed Sponge Cake recipe uses self raising flour, custard powder, evaporated milk and eggs to create a beautifully risen, fluffy sponge that is steamed rather than baked.
Unlike Western baked sponge cakes, this Chinese steamed sponge relies on steam for lift and moisture, resulting in a soft, delicate crumb with a slightly caramel tone from brown sugar. Steaming also gives the cake its signature dome and pillowy texture.
