Chongqing Chilli Chicken is one of Sichuan’s most iconic dishes. Crispy diced chicken is double fried, then flash tossed with toasted Sichuan peppercorns, garlic, ginger and a mountain of dried chillies. The result is a bold, numbing, sweet-salty heat where the chicken is almost hidden amongst the chillies — exactly how it should be.
Thai Style Pork Patties are fragrant, juicy meat patties inspired by the flavours of Thai larb. Minced pork is mixed with finely chopped aromatics such as lemongrass, garlic, ginger and kaffir lime leaves, then combined with toasted rice powder for a distinctive nutty crunch. These patties are pan fried until golden and slightly crisp on the outside while remaining juicy and aromatic inside. Served with sweet chilli sauce, they make a simple but flavour packed dish perfect with rice or as a snack.

Juicy, smoky chicken skewers paired with a savoury peanut sauce layered with sweetness and gentle spice.

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.
Authentic Gaeng Hung Lay is a deeply aromatic Northern Thai pork belly curry, slow simmered until rich, tender and unctuous.

This Authentic Gaeng Hung Lay recipe follows traditional techniques, starting with pounding the paste and slowly braising chunky pork belly until meltingly soft.
