Super Simple Teriyaki Chicken is a classic Japanese inspired dish built around tender chicken thigh, sweet mirin and honey, and a glossy soy glaze reduced directly in the pan. This Super Simple Teriyaki Chicken recipe focuses on marinating for depth, searing on high heat and adding the sauce at the right moment to achieve deep caramelisation without burning.
Teriyaki refers to the shine created when soy and sugar based sauces reduce over heat. The key is allowing the chicken to colour first before adding the marinade back into the pan to form that sticky lacquer.
These Thai Fish Cakes are bouncy, flavour-packed and lightly spiced with a homemade red
curry paste. With fresh herbs and crunchy green beans, they deliver the perfect balance of
texture and aromatic heat.
Light & Fluffy Chinese Bao Buns are one of the most iconic steamed breads in Chinese cuisine, known for their pillowy texture and slightly sweet flavour. Popularised across Taiwan and Japan as hirata-style folded buns, these steamed bao are perfect for stuffing with crispy meats, grilled fillings or fresh vegetables.
Learning how to make Light & Fluffy Chinese Bao Buns at home is all about understanding dough texture, gluten development and correct steaming technique. Using medium-gluten wheat flour, similar to Western plain flour but milled finer, gives the buns their soft white finish. The key is kneading until smooth, allowing proper proving time and steaming over a vigorous boil.
Deliciously Spicy Peanut Soba Noodles are a fresh, vibrant cold noodle salad packed with nutty depth, gentle heat and crisp vegetables. This Deliciously Spicy Peanut Soba Noodles recipe combines Japanese soba noodles with a rich peanut and sambal dressing, balanced by rice vinegar and light soy sauce for that perfect sweet, salty and spicy harmony.
Soba noodles have a firmer bite than many wheat noodles, and when soaked, briefly boiled and cooled properly, they deliver a beautiful al dente texture that holds the sauce perfectly.
Served chilled, this dish is ideal for warmer days or as a light yet flavourful lunch.
Double Cooked Pork Belly is a classic Sichuan-style dish where pork is first gently poached with spices, then sliced and stir fried over high heat with chillies and a rich savoury sauce. The initial poaching tenderises the pork and removes excess fat, while the final stir fry crisps the edges and coats each slice in a glossy spicy glaze. This two-stage cooking method creates pork that is both succulent and slightly crisp.
