    Chinese Wonton Soup

    Pork & Prawn Wontons in Ginger Broth

    Chinese Wonton Soup is a classic Cantonese dish made with delicate pork and prawn dumplings served in a light yet deeply savoury ginger and oyster infused broth. This Chinese Wonton Soup recipe focuses on building flavour in the soup first by tempering ginger and caramelising oyster sauce, then pairing it with traditional 50 50 pork and prawn wontons for the perfect balance of richness and freshness.

    Wontons are a type of dim sum dumpling. The word dim sum translates loosely as “a little touch of the heart”, making this soup both comforting and symbolic. The key is a clear, fragrant broth and a well seasoned filling that remains juicy after boiling.

    Sweet & Sticky Vietnamese BBQ Lemongrass Chicken

    Sweet & Sticky Vietnamese BBQ Lemongrass Chicken is a vibrant Southeast Asian barbecue favourite, combining fragrant lemongrass, punchy fish sauce and citrus zest with a glossy honey and kecap manis glaze. This Sweet & Sticky Vietnamese BBQ Lemongrass Chicken recipe delivers deep savoury flavour balanced with caramelised sweetness and gentle lime acidity.

    Lemongrass forms the backbone of many Vietnamese marinades. When finely chopped and massaged into chicken thigh with fish sauce, garlic and chilli, it creates bold aromatic depth. Finishing with a honey and sweet soy glaze ensures beautifully lacquered, slightly charred skin whether cooked on a barbecue, grill or in the oven.

    How to Steam Without a Bamboo Steamer

    Bao Bun Steaming Techniques

    Steaming is the gold standard method for cooking bao buns and dim sum. A traditional bamboo steamer naturally absorbs excess condensation, preventing water from dripping back onto your food. However, if you do not own a bamboo steamer, there are several effective alternatives that will still give you light, fluffy bao without sogginess.

    The key principle is controlling condensation. Any flat metal or glass lid will collect steam, which then drips back down onto the bao. Managing that moisture is the difference between perfect bao and soggy buns.

    Pillowy Soft Chinese Steamed Sponge Cake

    Pillowy Soft Chinese Steamed Sponge Cake, often known in Cantonese as Ma Lai Go, is a light, airy dim sum classic traditionally enjoyed alongside tea. This Pillowy Soft Chinese Steamed Sponge Cake recipe uses self raising flour, custard powder, evaporated milk and eggs to create a beautifully risen, fluffy sponge that is steamed rather than baked.

    Unlike Western baked sponge cakes, this Chinese steamed sponge relies on steam for lift and moisture, resulting in a soft, delicate crumb with a slightly caramel tone from brown sugar. Steaming also gives the cake its signature dome and pillowy texture.
