These Vietnamese Coconut Braised Pork Ribs are tender pork ribs gently braised in naturally sweet coconut water with fish sauce, oyster sauce and aromatics. The sauce reduces into a glossy, savoury-sweet glaze that caramelises beautifully around the ribs while the fresh coriander adds a final burst of flavour.

Tender shredded duck with perfectly crisp skin is paired with fluffy steamed bao, quick pickled cucumber and spring onion, and a rich drizzle of hoisin sauce.

Delicious Vietnamese Pancake, known as Bánh Xèo, is a crispy, golden turmeric rice flour pancake filled with fresh herbs, crunchy vegetables and optional prawns or pork. This Delicious Vietnamese Pancake recipe delivers the perfect balance of crisp edges and light, fluffy centre, served with a sweet, sour and savoury dipping sauce that brings everything together.
Bánh Xèo literally means “sizzling cake,” named after the sound the batter makes when it hits a hot pan. The secret is a thin rice flour and coconut milk batter, cooked over medium heat until crisp, then folded over fresh fillings for that iconic half moon shape.
Quick and Easy Mongolian Beef is a bold, takeaway style stir fry known for its glossy caramelised sauce and tender chunks of beef. This Quick and Easy Mongolian Beef recipe follows a restaurant method of oil blanching the beef first to seal in juices, then finishing it in a bubbling soy and brown sugar glaze infused with ginger, garlic and spring onion.
Despite its name, Mongolian Beef is widely considered a Chinese American creation. The key to its success is balancing savoury light soy with rich brown sugar, allowing the sauce to reduce to a sticky coating that wraps around every piece of beef.
This Special Egg Fried Rice is a traditional Cantonese-style fried rice that uses an old-school technique of coating every grain of cooked rice in beaten egg before stir-frying. Combined with prawns, Chinese barbecue chicken (char siu), colourful vegetables and finished with sesame oil, the result is beautifully separate, golden grains packed with flavour in every bite.
This Beef Chow Mein is a smoky Cantonese noodle stir-fry with tender marinated ribeye, crisp green vegetables and egg noodles tossed together with light soy, dark soy and sesame oil. Cooked over a high heat for maximum wok hei, it's a quick and satisfying takeaway favourite.
Hong Kong Style Char Siu Pork is one of the most iconic Cantonese roast meats, recognised by its glossy red exterior, sticky caramelised glaze and tender, juicy interior. This Hong Kong Style Char Siu Pork recipe recreates that classic sweet and savoury flavour without artificial red colouring, relying instead on tomato paste, dark soy and honey for depth and colour.
Traditionally hung in the windows of Hong Kong roast meat shops, char siu is roasted until lightly charred at the edges while staying succulent inside. The key is a well balanced marinade built on five spice, hoisin, soy sauce and honey, then slow roasting or barbecuing to develop caramelisation.
Steaming is one of the healthiest and most effective ways to cook chicken, producing exceptionally juicy meat while preserving its natural flavour. These two recipes showcase different approaches: a fragrant Guangxi Steamed Chicken topped with a sizzling Chinese chive dressing, and a complete Steamed Chicken & Mushroom Rice Bowl, where marinated chicken cooks directly over jasmine rice for an effortless one-bowl meal.
Cheese Buldak is a bold, spicy Korean dish made with tender chicken coated in a fiery gochujang and chilli marinade, then topped with melted mozzarella.
