Easy Asian Recipes
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.
This 15-Minute Soy Sauce Chicken Rice is my go-to for busy days when I still want something flavourful and comforting. It’s simple, tasty and zero thinking required!
If there’s one cooking technique that’s the heart of Cantonese cooking, it’s steaming. We’ve got dim sum, freshly steamed whole fish, tender chicken and seasonal vegetables. Steaming is what comfort food means to me because it’s the method my family uses the most. It’s easy, healthy and always delicious. In this post, I’m going to show you how to make a DIY steamer at home!
