Yum Nua Style with Toasted Rice
Thai Beef Salad, known in Thailand as Yum Nua, is a vibrant, fresh and fiery salad built around perfectly seared rare beef, fragrant herbs and a punchy lime and fish sauce dressing. This Thai Beef Salad recipe follows a traditional balance of sweet, sour, salty and spicy flavours, finished with toasted rice powder for added crunch and aroma.

Combined with Thai basil, mint and coriander, the result is bright, refreshing and deeply aromatic.
Sweet & Sticky Chinese Hoisin Cola Ribs are a rich, caramelised party favourite inspired by classic Cantonese hoisin ribs, with a clever twist of Coca Cola for extra glaze and depth.
