Fresh and Easy Vietnamese Vermicelli Salad is a light, vibrant noodle salad built around rice vermicelli, quick pickled vegetables and fragrant herbs.

Inspired by classic Vietnamese bún salads, this version focuses on clean flavours, crisp textures and fresh herbs. It can be served as a side dish or a light main, perfect for warmer days.
Crispy Vegan Kung Pao Cauliflower is a bold, spicy plant-based twist on the Sichuan classic. Blanched cauliflower is coated in a seasoned panko crust, roasted until golden and crisp, then finished with a punchy kung pao sauce packed with chilli, garlic and Sichuan peppercorns.
The key is keeping the cauliflower crispy by roasting separately and pouring the sauce over at the end, rather than tossing it through the wok.
These Hong Kong-style Stir-Fried Noodles are glossy, silky and packed with wok hei. Featuring crispy pan-fried egg noodles tossed with vegetables and savoury sauce, this dish delivers the perfect balance of texture—crispy edges with soft, bouncy strands.
Sweet & Sticky Chinese Hoisin Cola Ribs are a rich, caramelised party favourite inspired by classic Cantonese hoisin ribs, with a clever twist of Coca Cola for extra glaze and depth. This Sweet & Sticky Chinese Hoisin Cola Ribs recipe balances thick sauces such as hoisin and ketchup with thinner ingredients like dark soy and rice vinegar to create the perfect sticky coating.
Cooking low and slow allows the sugars to caramelise gradually, creating deep colour and tender meat that pulls away from the bone. A final baste during roasting builds that irresistible lacquered finish.
School of Wok Technique Guide
If your wok has developed rust on the inside surface, do not panic. Carbon steel woks naturally rust if left damp or not properly dried. In most cases, rust does not mean the wok is ruined. It simply needs restoring and re seasoning.
This technique guide explains how to safely remove rust and bring your wok back into working condition.
