I love Asian salads and recently discovered fermented chilli black beans. They are so yummy, when I went to the Chinese supermarket I noticed them amongst all the other jars of sauces and Asian ingredients. When I go next time I am going to spend more time looking at all the jars to see if…

Quick and Healthy Asian Baked Gurnard with Steamed Baby Pak Choi
After a long weekend in Devon where we ate lots of cream and carbs we are back on the health kick. I love gurnard as it is a cheap fish and can be really meaty which makes it more filling. Baking fish en papillote works so well with asian flavours and the flavour of the…
Aromatic, Fresh and Tasty Chicken Pho Broth
This dish is so comforting, it is full of flavour and the fresh lime, herbs and chilli really pack a punch. You can add any greens to this I just happened to have spinach in the fridge, it is the same with the herbs you could use mint or even parsley. I tend to make…
Asian Pork and Fennel Pot Stickers with Sweet Chilli Dipping Sauce
Wow these were delicious. I have always been a little scared of fiddly recipes but this wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. I adapted Donna Hays recipe as I know she likes to keep things as simple as she can. My crimping wasn’t perfect but that didn’t matter at all, as long…
Melt in the Mouth Slow Cooked and Caramalised Chinese Pork Belly Recipe
This recipe was mouth watering good. The meat was so soft and tender and the caramalised crispy skin and outside bits tasted so good. The sauce was to die for it had all those conforting chinese flavours like ribs or a crispy duck. I served it with plain boiled white rice so I could maximise…
Marinated Flank Steak on a bed of Napa Cabbage with an Avocado and Wasabi Dressing Recipe
Flank steak is becoming one of my favourites. You barely cook it but it is so tender. It also takes on a marinade really well particularly asian flavours. I wanted a bit of a kick and came across the combo of avocado and wasabi. It was delicious and finished the salad off nicely. Ingredients (serves…
Left Over Chicken, Slaw and Coriander Rice Paper Rolls with a Duo of Dipping Sauces Recipe
I finally felt brave enough to have a go at making my own rice paper rolls. I have always avoided them as they are fiddley and can tear easily. I needn’t of worried as they turned out great. I just took my time. The first couple had ends open so for the rest I made…
Seared Lemon Sole with a Lime, Chilli and Thai Basil Sauce Recipe
We love flat fish and sole is one of my favourites. We like to eat lemon or megrim sole as it really keeps the price down and they are just as delicious as dover sole. We tend to go down the route of french sauces with fish but I came across a similar recipe to…
Sweet and Spicy Homemade Chicken Katsu Curry Recipe
In a well-known chain of asian restaurants I always order the vegetable version of this and wanted to try it home. OMG this was so much better. I combined 3 recipes I found online taking all the best bits to create this beautiful version. It is sweet from the carrots and onion, tangy from the…
Sesame Seared Tuna on a Noodle Salad with a Dipping Sauce Recipe
I was in the supermarket and the fish counter had this lovely piece of tuna reduced to £3! When I eat sushi I love the sesame encrusted tuna so thought I would have a go at it myself. It was so delicious and the dipping sauce had all the flavours I love sweet, salty, zingy…
Tempura Prawn’s and Courgette’s with a Soy Dipping Sauce and Noodle Salad Recipe

Rick’s Malaysian Beef Rendang Recipe
One Christmas I got Rick Stein’s Far eastern Odyssey cookbook and dvd. When I saw the rendang I thought it looked amazing. I like this Malaysian version as the curry is much wetter and I love sauce. The beef just melts in your mouth and the heat and spice in the curry is just right….
Hot Smoked Salmon with a Mango and Avocado Salsa and a Tamarind and Mango Dressing Recipe
I always think fruit and fish do work well together and mangoes can really take on flavour. I do have to share a kitchen gadget I have a mango de stoner and it was of the best things I have ever bought. The dressing was an accident as I bought a 2 pack of mangoes…
Halloumi on Courgette Ribbons with Sweet Chilli Dressing Recipe
We tend to eat a lot of halloumi in our house so I am always trying to find new ways of using it. I hadn’t thought about going down the asian route before but the sweet chilli dressing worked so well with the halloumi. I am growing courgettes this year and this is one of…
Duck with Homemade Plum and Ginger Sauce Recipe
This was delicious and the plum sauce was so tasty. It tastes so much better than the jarred version. It reminds me of a posh sweet and sour as you get spice, heat, sweetness and sourness. The peppery and aniseedy rub made for a nice change from five spice powder. The meat was juicy and…
