So plums are in season here in the uk so we have been making the most of them. I got this recipe idea from the Waitrose magazine but changed it around a bit to suit my taste. I love pad Thai sauce and thought the sourness would compliment the sweet plums and five spice flavour…

Chinese Leftover Chicken, Sweetcorn, Egg and Noodle Soup
Chicken roast is so simple but probably my favourite roast of all time, I always have Yorkshire puddings and crispy roast potatoes and no veg 🫣. Chicken gravy is epic too if you use the chicken juices and a good quality stock. So after my roast I had a gorgeous carcass left and I always…
Sweet and Sour King Prawns with Egg Fried Rice
Due to lock down I have been making fake away’s. I love sweet and sour prawns but I like the Cantonese style which has a light coating rather than a thick batter. I did follow a recipe for the sauce but it was too sweet so I had to scrap that one and made my…
Fake Away Friday Crispy Sweet and Sour Pork
I love all the crispy Chinese dishes such as crispy chilli beef, crispy duck and pancakes, pancake rolls, sweet and sour king prawn and the list goes on. We have a new butchers that has opened in our town so we went to check it out and I noticed they had some pork stir fry…
Twice Cooked Sticky and Tender Chinese Pork Belly
What’s not to like about this recipe, soft tender pork meat it’s caramelised crispy fat bits and a delicious sauce that the rice can soak up. I’m not keen on the chewy skin on pork belly in Chinese recipes as it isn’t cooked like crispy crackling. Removing it still leaves a fat layer that you…
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 Roast Pork Fillet with Soy, Ginger, Honey and Lime Sauce Recipe
Asian cooking is so good for a mid-week dinner as it is quick to prepare and really tasty to eat, making it a very satisfying dinner. For this recipe I combined a couple I found taking my favourite bits from each one and combining them in one dish. It worked perfectly, this is sweet, salty…
Kung Pao King Prawns served with Noodles Recipe
I’m confused, is Kung Po and Kung Pao the same thing? If you can help please do! So this dish was inspired by another blogger fitness675 and it is called Kung Pao, I have ordered Kung Po from my chinese and it is completely different as it is in a sweet and sour sauce. This…
Easy but Amazing Slow Roast Chinese Pork Shoulder
This recipe is amazing and would be fantastic for this Easter weekend, it is like pork ribs but you get loads more meat and less fat! It is so worth the 4 hours cooking time as it melts in your mouth and dipping the meat in the extra sauce is finger licking good. Me and…
Saturday Night Beef, Black Bean and Broccoli Stir Fry Recipe
I love Paulie making Chinese at home as it is so quick, once you have done all the chopping, and it is packed full of flavour. Our 2 favourite sauces are Black bean and Oyster Sauce, you can mix these with more of less any proteins or vegetables. On this occasion we had a cheap…
