    Chinese Mapo Tofu

    Sichuan Spicy Tofu with Minced Pork

    Chinese Mapo Tofu is a bold and fiery Sichuan classic, known for its silky tofu, richly spiced minced pork and signature numbing heat from Sichuan peppercorns. This Chinese Mapo Tofu recipe follows the traditional layering method, building flavour from fermented black beans, chilli bean sauce and aromatics before gently braising delicate tofu in a deeply savoury red sauce.

    Mapo Tofu originates from Sichuan province and is famous for its “mala” profile, meaning spicy and numbing. The key is cooking the pork and spices first to create a powerful base, then folding the tofu in gently at the very end so it holds its shape while absorbing flavour.

    Easy Egg Drop Soup

    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.

    Tonkotsu Ramen

    Tonkotsu Ramen is one of Japan’s most famous noodle soups, known for its rich, milky pork broth created by boiling pork bones for hours until the collagen and fat emulsify into a deeply savoury stock. In this version, pork belly and pork hock are simmered with onions, garlic and mushrooms to develop a deeply umami broth, served with ramen noodles, soy marinated eggs and tender slices of pork. The long cooking time transforms simple ingredients into a deeply comforting bowl of ramen.

    Singapore Noodles

    Singapore Fried Rice Vermicelli

    Super Crispy Japanese Fried Chicken

    Christmas-Style Karaage on the Bone

This Super Crispy Japanese Fried Chicken recipe combines a classic soy, sake and ginger marinade with a light flour and cornflour coating to create ultra crisp skin and juicy meat.

    The result is golden, crackling skin with tender, flavourful meat inside.
