Easy Asian Recipes
This Chinese Tomato Minced Pork Stir-Fry is a simple dish that always brings me back to childhood. My mom used to make it and pack it in my lunchbox for school. Tangy tomatoes, savoury pork, and the sauce mixed with rice make it so comforting and hard to stop eating.
Would you believe me if I told you that this classic Chinese dessert, ginger milk pudding, is made with just two ingredients: ginger and milk? It’s soft, silky, jiggly and super warming and comforting.
If you want to start cooking Cantonese food at home, the good news is you don’t need a huge pantry or a hundred different sauces. Once you have a few key ingredients in your kitchen, the world is your oyster sauce (pun intended!).
If you have leftover rice and a piece of salmon sitting in your fridge, this salmon egg fried rice is exactly what you need! It’s simple, comforting and packed with flavour, with tender salmon, scrambled eggs and perfectly separated rice grains tossed in a savoury sauce. One wok, low effort and ready in 30 minutes!
Looking for a simple, healthy and comforting meal? This Steamed Chicken with Shiitake and Wood Ear Mushrooms is my go-to at home. Tender, juicy chicken, umami mushrooms come together in a rich, savoury sauce that’s perfect over rice. And it’s ready in under 40 minutes!
Chinese turnip cake (蘿蔔糕) or lor bat go in Cantonese, is a savoury steamed radish cake packed with umami from Chinese sausage, dried shrimp, shiitake mushrooms and dried scallops. Perfect for dim sum or Chinese New Year, it’s a comforting dish that’s full of flavour and texture in every bite.
