Hoisin Duck Spring Rolls are a crispy Cantonese inspired snack filled with savoury duck, spring onion and a rich hoisin based sauce. The duck breast is first crisped in a pan to render the fat and intensify its flavour before being sliced and marinated with sweet, salty and umami sauces. Wrapped tightly in spring roll pastry and deep fried until golden, these rolls deliver a crunchy exterior with a juicy, flavour packed duck filling.
Chinese Pan Fried Pork Buns, also known as Sheng Jian Bao, are a Shanghai street food favourite. These juicy pork-filled buns are partially risen, pan fried until golden and crisp underneath, then steamed in the same pan to create a tender, fluffy top with a crispy base. The filling is rich with ginger, garlic, Shaoxing wine and stock, creating that signature burst of savoury juices inside each bun.
Delicious Vegan Ramen is proof that you do not need bones or pork fat to create a deeply savoury, comforting bowl of ramen. This Delicious Vegan Ramen recipe builds flavour slowly from caramelised onion, garlic, ginger, mushrooms and dried soybeans, simmered for hours to extract maximum umami. Finished with miso seasoning, miso glazed tofu and carrots, and fresh greens, it delivers richness, depth and balance in every spoonful.
The key to this ramen is patience. A long simmered vegetable stock combined with fermented miso creates the creamy body and savoury backbone traditionally associated with meat based broths.
Crispy Seafood Noodles is a classic Cantonese style dish featuring golden pan fried noodles topped with a fragrant seafood stir fry and savoury sauce. Egg noodles are crisped in the wok to create a crunchy base while prawns, squid and tenderstem broccoli are flash fried with ginger and spring onion. The seafood is finished in a rich oyster and chilli bean sauce broth thickened lightly with cornflour so it coats the noodles beautifully while still soaking into the crisp edges.
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.
Easy Egg Drop Soup is a comforting Chinese classic, known in the UK as sweetcorn egg soup. This Easy Egg Drop Soup recipe combines homemade chicken stock, sweetcorn and shiitake mushrooms with silky ribbons of seasoned egg swirled gently into the broth. The result is light yet deeply savoury, with natural sweetness from the corn and beautiful wisps of egg throughout.
The key to perfect egg drop soup is technique. The broth should be gently thickened before the egg is added, then taken off the heat so the egg forms delicate ribbons instead of scrambling.
Crispy Hong Kong Style Salted Egg Prawns
Tasty Chinese Salted Egg Yolk Prawns are a classic Hong Kong restaurant favourite, known for their ultra crispy prawns coated in a rich, creamy salted duck egg yolk sauce. This Tasty Chinese Salted Egg Yolk Prawn recipe delivers that signature balance of savoury, sweet and umami flavour, with evaporated milk creating a smooth sauce that clings perfectly to each crispy prawn.
Salted duck eggs are preserved in brine for around 30 days, which transforms the yolk into a firm, crumbly and intensely savoury ingredient. When steamed and mashed, the yolk forms the base of a luxurious sauce that becomes thick and glossy once reduced in the wok.
