The dish combines the classic Cantonese combination of savoury, sweetness, and the salty, umami flavours and is perfect to grace any dinner table not just a Chinese banquet.
Chinese Recipes
My Chinese Chicken Noodle Soup (鸡汤面)
The first stage of making my soup is the nutritious stock packed with flavour. The other principal ingredients are plain wheat noodles, chicken, vegetables, and a few store cupboard staples. I like to use chicken thighs as they are more flavourful than breast meat and I precook them by roasting. I love the umani taste of mushrooms, so I like to use them and Pak choi as my vegetables.
Salt and Pepper Pork Chops (椒盐猪排)
A real favourite of mine as it is incredibly tasty, and the pork is tender and not dry. What’s more, it is quick to cook so perfect for a midweek supper. Finally, you don’t need lots of expensive ingredients, most of them will already be in your store cupboard or pantry.
Soy Sauce Chicken See Yao Gai 豉油鸡
Soy Sauce Chicken See Yao Gai 豉油鸡 is traditionally a whole chicken braised in an aromatic master stock made from soy sauce. In China a master stock is used again and again, each use imparting more flavour into the stock.
