Hoisin Duck Spring Rolls are a crispy Cantonese inspired snack filled with savoury duck, spring onion and a rich hoisin based sauce. The duck breast is first crisped in a pan to render the fat and intensify its flavour before being sliced and marinated with sweet, salty and umami sauces. Wrapped tightly in spring roll pastry and deep fried until golden, these rolls deliver a crunchy exterior with a juicy, flavour packed duck filling.
This tamarind hoisin braised duck is a rich, homely dish inspired by Jeremy Pang’s Saturday Special with Gressingham duck, slowly simmered until tender with a naturally thickened, glossy sauce.
Five-Spice Tofu Stir Fry is a simple, flavour-packed dish featuring pre-marinated tofu cooked with garlic chives, shiitake mushrooms and dried shrimp. The tofu absorbs rich umami flavours while staying slightly chewy, balanced by the freshness of chives and a light savoury sauce.
Vietnamese Coconut Braised Pork Belly is a comforting dish where chunks of pork belly are slowly simmered in coconut milk with caramelised onions and ginger. The slow braising allows the pork to become tender while the coconut milk reduces into a rich, savoury sauce balanced with fish sauce, chilli and palm sugar. Often served with steamed rice, this simple dish highlights the deep flavour that can come from just a few key ingredients.
Korean Egg Bread, known as Gyeran Bbang, is a popular Korean street food snack that blends sweet cake-like batter with savoury toppings. Baked in muffin tins, each bread contains a cracked egg in the centre and is often finished with bacon and cheese. The result is a soft, fluffy bread with a sweet-salty balance and a rich yolk that can remain slightly runny when baked just right.
Spring Onion Pancakes are a classic Chinese street food known for their crispy exterior and soft, flaky layers. Made using a hot-and-cold water dough and a savoury spring onion oil paste, the dough is rolled, coiled and flattened to create multiple delicate layers that crisp up beautifully when pan fried.
Deliciously Spicy Peanut Soba Noodles are a fresh, vibrant cold noodle salad packed with nutty depth, gentle heat and crisp vegetables. This Deliciously Spicy Peanut Soba Noodles recipe combines Japanese soba noodles with a rich peanut and sambal dressing, balanced by rice vinegar and light soy sauce for that perfect sweet, salty and spicy harmony.
Soba noodles have a firmer bite than many wheat noodles, and when soaked, briefly boiled and cooled properly, they deliver a beautiful al dente texture that holds the sauce perfectly.
Served chilled, this dish is ideal for warmer days or as a light yet flavourful lunch.
Crispy Cantonese Style with Sweet & Sour Heat
General Tso’s Chicken is one of the most popular Chinese takeaway dishes in the West, known for its crispy deep fried chicken pieces coated in a glossy, sweet, tangy and lightly spicy sauce. This General Tso’s Chicken recipe follows a Cantonese style marinade and double fry technique to achieve ultra crisp chicken before wrapping it in a caramelised chilli vinegar glaze.
The secret to great General Tso’s Chicken is texture control. The chicken must be coated in a dry, dusty cornflour layer before frying. The sauce should be reduced to a syrupy consistency before tossing. And the final stir fry stage should be fast, hot and decisive so the chicken stays crisp.
This Sesame Chicken is a crispy Chinese takeaway classic made with lightly spiced chicken thigh pieces coated in a crunchy cornflour batter and tossed in a glossy sweet and savoury sesame sauce. Finished with toasted sesame seeds, it's perfect served with steamed rice.
