Easy Asian Recipes
If you’re craving for something quick, comforting and packed with protein, this 20-Minute Tomato Egg Beef Rice bowl makes it perfect for busy weekdays when you still want a proper meal that actually keeps you full.
Seaweed and tofu meatball soup is a simple and nourishing Chinese homestyle dish that comes together in just 30 minutes. It’s warm, comforting and full of flavour without feeling heavy. It features tender pork meatballs, soft tofu and dried seaweed all simmered in a light savoury broth. It’s an easy weeknight soup you can throw together with minimal effort and still end up with something super satisfying!
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.
