Spiced Lamb Skewers, or Yang Rou Chuan, are a popular Chinese street food originating from Xinjiang.

Sweet & Sticky Chinese Hoisin Cola Ribs are a rich, caramelised party favourite inspired by classic Cantonese hoisin ribs, with a clever twist of Coca Cola for extra glaze and depth. This Sweet & Sticky Chinese Hoisin Cola Ribs recipe balances thick sauces such as hoisin and ketchup with thinner ingredients like dark soy and rice vinegar to create the perfect sticky coating.
