This Crispy Shredded Chicken is crunchy, sticky and packed with sweet savoury flavour. Double-fried chicken thigh is coated in a glossy garlic and spring onion glaze for the ultimate homemade takeaway-style dish.
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.
This simple Courgette Namul is lightly cooked and seasoned with sesame oil, sesame seeds and a touch of sweetness. It's fresh, delicate and a classic Korean side dish.
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.
These Vietnamese Lemongrass BBQ Pork Chops are marinated in a fragrant blend of lemongrass, garlic, fish sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce and palm sugar before being grilled over a barbecue and repeatedly glazed with a sticky tamarind-honey sauce. The result is beautifully charred, juicy pork with the perfect balance of sweet, savoury and smoky flavours, traditionally served with Vietnamese broken rice (Cơm Tấm).
This comforting Chana Dal is a simple Indian lentil curry made with split chickpeas, warming spices and aromatic onion, garlic and ginger. Slow-cooked until creamy and finished with fresh coriander, it's a hearty dish that's perfect served with rice or warm flatbreads.
This quick Southeast Asian-inspired fish dish combines fragrant pandan leaves, fresh lemongrass, chilli and garlic with delicate cod. Finished with a sweet-savoury gula melaka glaze, it's a simple yet flavour-packed recipe that comes together in minutes.
Gai Yang is a Thai-style roast chicken marinated in a fragrant blend of garlic, lemongrass, tamarind and palm sugar, then roasted until juicy with a caramelised, sticky glaze. This version is perfect for batch cooking, forming the base for multiple dishes throughout the week.
