Layered Crispy Scallion Pancake with Dipping Sauce
Vegetarian Chinese Spring Onion & Spinach Pancake is a crispy, flaky street food classic inspired by traditional Chinese scallion pancakes. This Vegetarian Chinese Spring Onion & Spinach Pancake recipe combines a simple hot water dough with fragrant spring onion, ginger and clarified butter, layered and rolled to create delicate flaky folds.
Unlike Western pancakes, this savoury version is rolled, folded and twisted into layers before being flattened and pan fried until golden and crisp. Finished with a simple soy, black vinegar and chilli oil dipping sauce, it delivers rich, savoury depth with a bright, tangy kick.
Thai Basil Duck Stir Fry is a fragrant, high heat wok dish where crispy duck breast is sliced and flash fried with vegetables, chilli and Thai basil. The duck is first blanched and pan seared to render the fat and crisp the skin, then quickly stir fried with a savoury sauce made from fish sauce, sambal and coconut water. The result is a rich yet fresh dish where the aromatic basil balances the sweetness of palm sugar and the savoury depth of the duck.
Crispy Japanese Tonkatsu Pork is a golden, crunchy panko-crumbed pork cutlet that’s juicy inside and crisp on the outside. This version packs extra flavour into the meat before breading, then shallow fries for a beautifully even crust.
Traditionally served sliced with shredded cabbage and tonkatsu sauce, this recipe also shows how to turn the cutlet into a classic katsu sando — a Japanese sandwich layered with mustard and sauce between soft bread.
Spicy BBQ Gochujang Chicken Wings are smoky, sticky and deeply savoury, cooked slowly over charcoal and finished with a glossy Korean style glaze. This Spicy BBQ Gochujang Chicken Wings recipe balances sweet honey, salty soy and punchy gochujang with a touch of rice vinegar for brightness.
Traditionally Korean wings are deep fried before being coated in sauce, but this version embraces live fire cooking. By cooking the wings indirectly over charcoal first, then basting at the end, you get crisp skin, juicy meat and a lacquered spicy finish.
