Little screams summer quite like summer rolls. This traditionally Vietnamese version of a spring roll is arguably a lot healthier than its deep-fried counterpart and is deliciously fresh and crisp. They make a fantastic lunch or appetiser on their own, or part of a larger finger food spread. The other day I served these for lunch with some of my marinated chicken satay and fresh mint tea for a very enjoyable Sunday lunch. It’s also the perfect dish for using up any left-over vegetables and ...
As soon as temperatures start rising, I instantly start craving delicious salads. I’m a huge fan of a classic Caesar salad recipe, Italian Caprese or flavourful pesto pasta salad, but sometimes you just want something different, and perhaps a little more filling, which is when I love to make a noodle salad! You already have my recipe for chicken teriyaki noodle salad, and today I’m sharing with you my recipe for an ultra-fresh and super summery beef and lime noodle salad! ...
Vegetable skewer recipes can be really hit or miss. Often, they lack flavour and texture and just aren’t as good as its meat or fish counterparts. These honey and soy glazed aubergine skewers, however, beat very many skewers I have made and tried and are definitely a new go-to Asian-inspired dish for me. You already know how much I love chicken satay (proof here and here) and this is my usual go-to Asian marinated food, but recently I toyed with the idea of making an Asian-inspired ...
I simply can’t find the words to describe how deep and intense my love for chicken satay is. This delicious, rich, sweet and flavourful marinated chicken recipe has always been a favourite growing up. On the barbecue on beautiful summer nights, at Indonesian takeaway places or at Dutch bistro’s, where it is served with salad, chunky chips and a huge amount of satay peanut sauce. Previously I shared with you my ultimate and classic mum’s chicken satay recipe, but recently I ...
Teriyaki glazed anything must be one of my favourite Asian dishes, so it was kind of bizarre that I had never attempted to make a teriyaki sauce myself. I’m not a fan of the store-bought version, so when I was craving a noodle salad with chicken teriyaki, I knew I had to try making it myself. My chicken teriyaki noodle salad recipe turned out to be one of the most delicious things I have made in a long time. The great thing about this recipe is that you can experiment endlessly, and ...
My super quick ramen noodle soup recipe could not be more simple, yet somehow a homemade version of this dish always feels somewhat special and looks impressive. I should start by sharing a disclaimer, this recipe is by no means traditional, but I promise the smell will make you believe otherwise. As a big fan of Japanese food and ramen, I always wanted to make this dish at home, but the long list of seemingly impossible to find ingredients and the many steps to perfecting the broth always ...
