Roti Canai is a flaky Malaysian flatbread made from a simple dough that's stretched, folded and pan-fried until crisp and golden. Perfect served alongside curries, chutneys or even jam, it's a wonderfully versatile bread with light, buttery layers.
Cantonese Wok Fried Prawns are a classic seafood dish commonly found in Hong Kong style dai pai dong street kitchens. Large prawns are lightly coated in cornflour and quickly fried to seal in their natural sweetness before being tossed in a punchy Cantonese sauce made with soy sauce, ketchup and Worcestershire sauce. The result is a dry style stir fry where the sticky sauce clings to each prawn while aromatic ginger, garlic and spring onion flavour the oil.
Szechuan Claypot Aubergine is a bold and comforting Chinese dish where aubergine is first seared to lock in texture, then braised in a savoury “fish fragrant” sauce. Despite the name, fish fragrant seasoning contains no fish; instead it balances chilli bean paste, vinegar, soy sauce and sugar to create a rich mix of salty, sour, sweet and spicy flavours. The aubergine absorbs the sauce as it simmers, becoming soft, fragrant and deeply savoury.
Air Fried Crispy Chilli Beef is a lighter take on the classic takeaway favourite, delivering the same crunch, sweetness and heat without deep frying. This Air Fried Crispy Chilli Beef recipe uses a double air fry method to achieve maximum crispiness, then finishes the beef in a rich roasted garlic chilli sauce for deep flavour and glossy coating.
Traditionally deep fried in oil, crispy chilli beef can be heavy. Using an air fryer dramatically reduces oil while still creating a dry, crackly exterior that holds sauce beautifully. The addition of roasted garlic and roasted dried chillies elevates the sauce with deeper savoury notes.
Chicken Bulgogi is a quick and flavourful Korean dish where tender chicken is marinated in a sweet, savoury and lightly spicy sauce, then cooked over high heat to achieve a smoky, caramelised finish.

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.

Finished with fresh cucumber and sesame oil, it's a comforting favourite that's traditionally enjoyed on Korea's Black Day.
Hong Kong Style Dim Sum
Steamed Spare Ribs with Black Bean is a classic Hong Kong dim sum dish, known for its deep savoury flavour, tender bite and rich glossy sauce.
