Notes about Recipes in this book

  • King prawns, ginger and spring onion

    • etcjm on January 22, 2022

      Really very good. Quick and easy. Couple of subs, used frozen sweetcorn and bulked out with bamboo shoots as they needed using. Be brave with the ginger. Definitely a do again. Could use small pieces of chicken thighs instead.

  • Beef with oyster sauce

    • Delys77 on January 10, 2023

      This was popular with the little one and I would likely repeat just because of that. The combination of beef and carrots almost seems a bit western, but the significant amount of oyster sauce definitely gives this dish a Chinese character. The umami from the seasonings pairs very well with the beef and is offset but the sweetness of the carrots. A pretty easy and tasty dish, especially considering that I don't do a tonne of beef stir frys.

  • Cantonese style sweet and sour pork

    • ThePatheticBaker on January 10, 2023

      Now made this twice. The egg/cornstarch mix becomes like sludge. The oil was probably too hot but no guidance in the method of a setting.

  • Chinese mixed vegetable chow mein

    • Delys77 on January 10, 2023

      I was worried that the seasonings were a bit too basic, but in the end this was quite good. I have had better and made better but this dish is very easy yields a pretty good result. I did jazz it up with a bit of chilli oil with some of the sediment.
