Easy Asian Recipes
Hong Kong style dan dan noodles are creamy, nutty and full of flavour. This version is milder and less spicy than the Sichuan classic, with chewy noodles, savoury-tangy pork topping and a rich peanut-sesame sauce you’ll want to slurp up again and again.
There’s nothing better than a warm, comforting bowl of soup in winter, and my Instant Pot Pork Rib and Daikon Soup hits the spot every time. I’ve been making this every week because it’s so satisfying! The pork ribs are full of collagen from the cartilage, making the broth super silky and nourishing. Perfect for cozying up on a cold day.
If you love cha chaan teng classics, let me introduce you to Hong Kong Scallion Oil Chicken Noodles (蔥油雞扒撈丁). Juicy and crispy chicken, fragrant signature ginger scallion sauce, and delicious stir-fried instant ramen make this dish super addictive.
Hong Kong Stir-fried Beef Macaroni (乾炒牛肉通粉) is basically your classic beef chow fun, but instead of the usual hor fun (flat rice noodles), we’re using… macaroni! It still has the same cha chaan teng flavours, savoury, beefy and smoky, and the chewy macaroni gives the perfect bite.
Halloween is here and I wanted something cozy, sweet and a little festive. So I made Pumpkin Black Sesame Tang Yuan. Chewy rice balls with nutty black sesame filling, served in warm sweet ginger soup with dates and goji berries. It’s comforting, golden like a pumpkin and perfect for a cold day.
Craving something spicy and satisfying? This 20-Minute Mapo Tofu Recipe features silky tofu, savoury pork and that iconic Sichuan mala numbing spice. Perfect to enjoy with a bowl of rice… or two.
