These Hong Kong-style Baked Char Siu Bao are soft, fluffy buns filled with sweet, sticky barbecued pork. Unlike steamed bao, these are baked to a golden finish, giving a light crust while keeping the inside pillowy and rich with savoury-sweet char siu filling.
These Pork & Prawn Gyoza are made completely from scratch with homemade dumpling wrappers and a juicy filling of pork, prawns, cabbage, shiitake mushrooms, ginger and garlic. Pan-fried until crispy, then steamed, they have a delicate wrapper with a golden crunchy base and a succulent filling.

Soybean Paste Steamed Fish
Steamed Whole Fish Chinese Tau Cheo Style is a classic Cantonese home dish that celebrates freshness, simplicity and balance. Tau cheo, a fermented soybean paste, forms the savoury backbone of this recipe, blended with ginger, garlic and plum sauce to create a deeply aromatic paste that steams gently over the fish.
In Chinese cuisine, steaming a whole fish symbolises abundance and prosperity. The key is choosing a very fresh fish, steaming it just long enough to cook through, then finishing with hot oil poured over spring onion and chilli to release fragrance and sizzle.
Classic Chinese Crispy Prawns are a deep-fried favourite known for their ultra-light, crunchy batter and glossy honey soy glaze. The prawns are coated in a delicate cornflour batter made with cold soda water to create maximum crispness, then quickly tossed in a sticky honey sauce that balances sweet, savoury and aromatic flavours. Finished with sesame seeds and spring onion, these Classic Chinese Crispy Prawns deliver that unmistakable takeaway crunch with a School of Wok technique.
Chinese Garlic & Egg Fried Rice is one of the fundamental building blocks of Cantonese home cooking. This Chinese Garlic & Egg Fried Rice recipe focuses on two essentials: properly chilled rice and high heat wok control. By making a simple garlic infused oil first and cooking each ingredient in sequence, you achieve separate grains, light egg ribbons and that signature smoky wok flavour.
The key to great fried rice is cold, day old rice. Fresh rice contains too much moisture and will clump together. Once chilled overnight, the grains firm up and separate easily when stir fried at high heat.
