Hainanese Chicken

I was feeling pretty healthy a a couple of weeks ago today after swimming many lengths of a pool, the gym is right next door to my favourite Malaysian restaurant and instead of my usual weakness for Roti Canai I went for my second favourite Malaysian treat. A couple of weeks on I decided to [...]

Pork & Prawn Dumplings

I absolutely love Chinese pork dumplings. Can’t get enough of them! We eat out very regularly at our favourite dumpling house in Ashfield, Sydney and to be honest, I’ve never seen the need to compete with them. Why bother when they’re so good and so cheap!? Well, I happened upon some wanton wrappers at the [...]

Crispy Chinese Roast Pork

Pork is an underrated meat. It’s so delicious when roasted. I wanted to create something a little different tonight. I don’t often tackle Chinese dishes but I love this dish when I eat out at chinese restaurants so decided to throw caution to the wind. The pork is so juicy and tender with the unmistakably [...]

Xinjiang Lamb Skewers

I regularly visit a small, nameless Chinese restaurant in Sydney which cooks food from the Xinjiang region of China. As you would expect by it’s geographical location, north western Chinese food has hints of both Indian and Middle Eastern cuisine. The use of cumin I find particularly interesting, a spice not often associated with Chinese [...]

BBQ Chinese Pork Ribs

• Share on Facebook • Add to Del.icio.us • Digg It! A delicious and simple marinade for pork ribs. I made this in the morning and when the time came in the evening these ribs were full of flavour and ready to hit the barbecue. RECIPE:

Twice cooked salt & pepper pork

• Share on Facebook • Add to Del.icio.us • Digg It! Street food in Thailand is some of the best in the world. This is a classic Thai/Chinese dish that is available from Hawkers accross Asia and jolly tasty they are too. They’re great for parties and something for your dinner party guests to nibble [...]

Chinese Stewed Beef

This is an absolutely gorgeous way to cook a really ordinary cut of meat. Brisket isn’t the most luxurious of beef cuts, it’s low on meat, high on fat, so it needs a slow cook method. The Chinese perfect this with their hot-pot style dishes. Here’s a dish I made up using chinese ingredients. It’s [...]

Chinese Ginger Chicken

This is a lovely, refreshing way to eat chicken. It’s a complex, but very fresh tasting meal and really simple to make. I ate it a couple of weeks ago at a restaurant and I must say, theirs was shit in comparison. They did make up for it by serving nice dumplings though. I am [...]

Mongolian Lamb with Spring Onion

This is something I always order if I see it on the menu. The longer you leave the meat to marinade the better. Overnight is best, but if like me, you’re not that organised and/or greedy you can leave it for an hour at the least. RECIPE:

Chinese Pork Ribs

  I found some pork ribs in the freezer. I don’t know how long they’d been there. This could have ended in tears. Regardless I made a lovely Chinese style throwtogether meal. I’m still alive so obviously the pork was OK and the little symbol inside my freezer informing me how long I can safely [...]
