    Chinese Soup Dumplings (Xiao Long Bao)

    Chinese Soup Dumplings, known as Xiao Long Bao, are delicate steamed dumplings filled with savoury meat and a rich, gelatinised stock that melts into soup during steaming. This Chinese Soup Dumplings recipe walks through traditional dough making, jelly stock preparation and the classic pleating technique required to create perfectly sealed dumplings with a burst of soup inside.

    The secret to Xiao Long Bao is setting a concentrated stock with agar agar or gelatin, cutting it into small cubes and folding it into the filling. As the dumplings steam, the jelly melts, creating that signature pool of hot soup beneath the tender filling. Proper rolling technique ensures thin edges with a slightly thicker centre to prevent breakage.

    Chinese Garlic & Egg Fried Rice

    Chinese Garlic & Egg Fried Rice is one of the fundamental building blocks of Cantonese home cooking. This Chinese Garlic & Egg Fried Rice recipe focuses on two essentials: properly chilled rice and high heat wok control. By making a simple garlic infused oil first and cooking each ingredient in sequence, you achieve separate grains, light egg ribbons and that signature smoky wok flavour.

    The key to great fried rice is cold, day old rice. Fresh rice contains too much moisture and will clump together. Once chilled overnight, the grains firm up and separate easily when stir fried at high heat.

    Simply Delicious Chinese Chicken Chow Mein

    UK-Style Fried Egg Noodles

    Simply Delicious Chinese Chicken Chow Mein is one of the UK’s most loved takeaway dishes. Chow mein literally means “fried noodles”, and this Simply Delicious Chinese Chicken Chow Mein recipe follows the authentic wok clock method to achieve smoky wok hei flavour, silky marinated chicken and beautifully caramelised noodles.

    The key to proper chow mein is soaking the egg noodles rather than boiling them, drying them thoroughly, and cooking everything over very high heat so the sauce wraps around each strand. When finished correctly, the noodles should be separate, lightly caramelised and barely sticking to the wok.
