Karaage Don is the ultimate comfort bowl — crispy, double-fried Japanese chicken piled high over fluffy rice, topped with finely shredded cabbage and a soft onsen-style egg. The chicken is marinated in mirin, sake and soy, coated in potato starch for maximum crunch, then fried twice for that unbeatable crispiness. Finished with kewpie mayo and shichimi, this is bold, juicy and completely satisfying.
Authentic Gaeng Hung Lay is a deeply aromatic Northern Thai pork belly curry, slow simmered until rich, tender and unctuous. Unlike coconut based Thai curries, Gaeng Hung Lay is built around a handmade paste, whole spices, tamarind and pickled garlic, creating a beautifully balanced dish that is sweet, sour and savoury all at once. This Authentic Gaeng Hung Lay recipe follows traditional techniques, starting with pounding the paste and slowly braising chunky pork belly until meltingly soft.
Easy Crispy Chilli Beef is a British Chinese takeaway classic, famous for its ultra crisp beef strips coated in a glossy sweet, sour and savoury sauce. This Easy Crispy Chilli Beef recipe follows a proper double fry method to guarantee maximum crunch, finished with fragrant ginger, garlic and fresh chilli for a homemade upgrade on the takeaway favourite.
The key is a light cornflour coating rather than a thick batter, plus a high heat second fry to lock in that crisp texture before tossing briefly in a black vinegar based sauce.
Steamed Aubergine with Spring Onion & Garlic Dressing is a light Chinese home style dish where aubergine is gently steamed until tender and silky, then dressed with a punchy sweet, sour and savoury sauce. The dressing combines garlic, ginger, spring onion, soy sauce, vinegar and chilli oil, creating a fragrant topping that soaks into the hot aubergine. This simple technique highlights the natural texture of aubergine while allowing the bold dressing to shine.
Incredibly Tasty Chinese Pork Lo Mein is a classic Cantonese noodle stir fry where egg noodles are soaked in a rich, silky oyster sauce based gravy and layered with tender pork, charred mushrooms and crisp vegetables. This Incredibly Tasty Chinese Pork Lo Mein recipe focuses on proper wok sequencing, building flavour step by step before bringing everything together at the end.
Lo Mein literally means mixed noodles. Unlike dry fried chow mein, the noodles here are intentionally saucy, allowing them to absorb the savoury stock, soy and oyster sauce for maximum depth.
Crispy Lattice Bottom Dumplings
Amazing Duck & Hoisin Gyoza combine crispy duck breast with sweet hoisin sauce and classic dumpling technique to create the ultimate pan-fried dumpling. This Amazing Duck & Hoisin Gyoza recipe uses pre-cooked crispy duck, finely chopped and marinated with oyster sauce, sweet chilli and sesame oil for a rich, juicy filling.
Finished with a signature crispy lattice base, these gyoza are pan fried until golden, then steamed to cook the pastry through before forming a delicate, crackling dumpling skirt. The result is crisp underneath, tender on top and packed with savoury duck flavour.
