2021-07-08 16:49
Quick and easy to make, this chicken stir-fry gets a Chinese style kick from the five-spice
Can be served on it's own or with noodles
Korean Egg Drop Sandwich Bites
2021-02-24 16:48
Egg Drop sandwiches went viral on Tiktok last year.
Rather than making one large sandwich, this recipe makes 6 smaller bitesize (well, 2 bites) sandwiches - useful if you're feeding someone smaller or the local shop only had small Brioche rolls in
Although Egg Drop is a breakfast franchise, these work perfectly well for lunch or a snack too.
If you want to add a little bit of a kick to the sauce, you can buy Sriracha online or in the supermarket
Thai Style Potato and Chicken Curry
2020-12-15 09:14
I love the delicate flavours in Thai food, but I really don't like seafood, so I tend to struggle with things like Thai Green Curry - the fish oil in the sauce can leave me feeling quite quesy. However, this recipe strikes a good balance and hasn't caused me any issues at all
It's quick and easy to make, and can trivially be made vegetarian by replacing the chicken with (more) potatoes.
You can also adjust it by adding baby corn, sugar snaps or pak choi to it.
Chicken Noodle Soup

A quick and simple chicken noodle soup. You can also adjust flavours by serving with thinly sliced ginger, garlic, coriander etc, or by serving alongside some halved boiled eggs.
Slow Cooker Thai-Style Chicken Curry
2020-10-27 09:41
I struggle with many Thai curries because they tend to have fish oil added, and I can't stand even the slightest hint of seafood. This simple recipe gives a fragrant, Thai-Style curry without that problem (though you can add it if you miss it)
If you want to add a bit more of a punch, and some chilli's to the ingredient list
Stir Fried Lemon Chicken
2020-10-08 08:02
This simple recipe quickly makes a chinese style stir fry with minimal effort. The chicken chunks are lightly coated in flour so that they absorb some of the juice and take on a good citrus tang
You can serve with rice or noodles - with straight-to-wok noodles you get the advantage of cooking the entire meal in a single pan.
If you need a bit of spice, add a chopped chilli to the ingredient list and add it just after you've finished browning the chicken.
Korean Beef Bulgogi
2020-07-06 11:52
Bulgogi recipes tend to use crushed pear juice to help tenderise the meat, but using coca-cola works too (and it's probably easier to get).
Marinade the meat overnight for best flavour.
Variations on this are fairly easy, you can stir some chopped pepper (as pictured) into the pan, reduce the punch a little by substituting the spring onion for chopped spinach etc.
Either way, you end up with tasty tender steak strips, which go well with rice. To make it even better, serve some Oi Muchim on the side.
Korean Cucumber Salad (Oi Muchim)
2020-07-06 11:41
A Korean cucumber salad, essentially cucumber and carrot in a lightly spiced vinaigrrete.
The spring onion can be replaced with chopped spinach to reduce the punch a little. Either way, works very well served alongside Beef Bulgogi
Korean Egg Bread (Gyeran-ppang)
2019-07-07 11:31
This recipe is for Korean Egg-Bread, usually served as a street food and known as gyeran-ppang. It is, in essence, a (small) loaf of sweetenend pancake batter with an egg baked in.
Basically, I saw this video and thought... WANT. If nothing else, Koreas a bit far for a weekend jaunt, so I had a hunt around for recipes online, and then tweaked them slightly to suit my taste.
So, there's no claim that this is particularly authentic, but it does make a good snack or breakfast.
Lemongrass and Coconut Paste
2019-05-22 13:08
This recipe will make a Lemon grass and coconut paste for use in stir-frys etc. If you want to instead make a sauce, follow the steps below, and then add it to 1 can of boiling coconut milk, stir until it's well mixed and then strain off any solids before pouring over your meal.
