These plant-based dumplings showcase three different flavour combinations using OmniPork mince. Each filling is seasoned differently—one with peppery watercress, another with hoisin, celery and fennel, and a final spicy chilli garlic version. The dumplings are cooked using different techniques including pan frying with a crispy lattice and boiling, demonstrating how versatile dumplings can be in both flavour and texture.
Yum Nua Style with Toasted Rice
Thai Beef Salad, known in Thailand as Yum Nua, is a vibrant, fresh and fiery salad built around perfectly seared rare beef, fragrant herbs and a punchy lime and fish sauce dressing. This Thai Beef Salad recipe follows a traditional balance of sweet, sour, salty and spicy flavours, finished with toasted rice powder for added crunch and aroma. The toasted rice powder is what elevates this dish. Lightly browned jasmine rice is crushed into a coarse powder and sprinkled over the salad, adding texture and a subtle nutty sweetness. Combined with Thai basil, mint and coriander, the result is bright, refreshing and deeply aromatic.
Crispy Pork Belly is one of the most celebrated dishes in Chinese roast meat cooking, prized for its contrast of juicy, tender pork and incredibly crisp crackling skin. This Crispy Pork Belly recipe follows a classic Chinese preparation technique that focuses on drying the skin, seasoning the meat and carefully roasting the pork in stages to achieve the perfect fluffy crisp. By blanching the pork first, curing the surface with salt and finishing with rice vinegar, this Crispy Pork Belly delivers that signature bubbly crackling with rich, succulent meat underneath.
Otak Otak is a classic Malaysian and Singaporean street food made with a fragrant fish mousse blended with spices, wrapped in banana leaves and grilled until lightly charred. Steamed inside the leaf while grilling, it's soft, smoky and packed with aromatic flavour.
Tasty Prawn Potsticker Wontons are crispy pan fried dumplings with a juicy prawn and vegetable filling, finished in a flash fried chilli hoisin glaze. This Tasty Prawn Potsticker Wontons recipe combines the crisp base of a potsticker with the soft centre of a steamed wonton, then tosses everything through crunchy beansprouts and Chinese chives for bold texture and flavour.
This Sticky Rice Stir-Fry with Chinese Sausage is a classic Cantonese celebratory dish made with steamed glutinous rice stir-fried with Chinese sausage, dried seafood, shiitake mushrooms and aromatics. Rich, savoury and packed with umami, it's traditionally enjoyed during festivals and family gatherings.
Light & Tasty Vietnamese Tofu Bun Cha is a fresh, vibrant twist on the classic Hanoi street food dish, Bun Cha. Traditionally made with grilled fatty pork served over rice noodles with herbs and dipping sauce, this Light & Tasty Vietnamese Tofu Bun Cha swaps the pork for caramelised tofu while keeping the signature sweet, salty and sour Vietnamese balance.
Air Fried Crispy Chilli Beef is a lighter take on the classic takeaway favourite, delivering the same crunch, sweetness and heat without deep frying. This Air Fried Crispy Chilli Beef recipe uses a double air fry method to achieve maximum crispiness, then finishes the beef in a rich roasted garlic chilli sauce for deep flavour and glossy coating.
Traditionally deep fried in oil, crispy chilli beef can be heavy. Using an air fryer dramatically reduces oil while still creating a dry, crackly exterior that holds sauce beautifully. The addition of roasted garlic and roasted dried chillies elevates the sauce with deeper savoury notes.
Szechuan Eggplant
Sichuan Style Aubergine, also known as Szechuan Eggplant, is a bold, sweet and savoury vegetarian dish built around caramelised chilli bean sauce, hoisin and soy. This Sichuan Style Aubergine recipe focuses on technique, showing you how to cook aubergine so it becomes soft and meaty without turning greasy.
Unlike many takeaway versions that rely on deep frying, this method lightly coats the aubergine in oil before searing it in a hot pan, much like cooking a steak. The result is beautifully charred edges, a tender interior and a sticky, glossy sauce that clings to every piece.
Thai Omelette with Nam Prik Pao is a classic Thai street-style dish featuring a light, crispy
omelette served with a rich homemade chilli paste. The omelette is flavoured simply with fish
sauce, spring onion and chilli, then cooked in hot oil to create crisp edges and a fluffy centre.
The Nam Prik Pao paste adds depth with dried chillies, garlic, dried shrimp and tamarind,
creating a sweet, savoury and spicy accompaniment.
