Garlic Chicken (Country Kapitan)
Do not be put off by the amount of garlic in this dish as it is added at the end of the cooking. The crispy fried garlic together with fresh lemon juice impart a delicious and unusual nutty flavour to the chicken.
Main Dishes
Tamarind Beef (Assam Beef)
Tamarind is the pulp from the pods of the Tamarind tree. It has a sweet, sour, fruity aroma and taste and is used as a souring agent in curries and sambals. Interestingly it is a vital ingredient in the making of Worcestershire sauce. With this recipe the use of extra chillies is optional.
Lamb with Courgettes in Oyster Sauce
The strong flavour of lamb in this dish is counter-acted by the use of ginger. Cut the lamb into paper thin slices for quick cooking. Feel free to substitute lamb with another meat.
Steamed Trout with Crispy Garlic
Fried garlic in this dish gives it a wonderful aroma. Do use the freshest fish you can find – 2 trout are sufficient for 4 people sharing.
Oven Roasted Fish with Spring Onion and Ginger Sauce
Use a whole sea bass, bream or red snapper for this recipe, the freshest you can find! Simple to prepare and full of subtle ginger and spring onion flavours. Serve with hot Jasmine rice.
Pan Fried Duck on Sesame Noodles
Rice noodles can sometimes taste a little bland but the addition of Wing Yip Ginger and Spring Sauce complements the duck. Lightly toasted sesame seeds and wilted watercress add crunch and flavour.
Kung Po Chicken with Chillies and Cashews
A popular restaurant dish named after a Szechuan official who had a liking for this combination of spicy, tangy sauce, chillies and cashew nuts. If you buy raw cashews, do shallow fry them until they turn a golden brown.
Eight Vegetable Hot Pot (Chup Chye)
Although this dish is of South East Asian origin it is also know as Chap Chye. It is made up of a mixture of dried and fresh vegetables and tastes better the day after cooking when the vegetables have had time to absorb the flavour of the sauce. Eat with hot Jasmine Rice.
Prawns and Asparagus in Yellow Bean Sauce
Frozen raw prawns are available in all our stores and are good value as there is a wide range to choose from. Individually frozen prawns can be separated and what you don’t need can be saved for another day. Do try to bring a freezer bag with you to ensure prawns do not defrost en-route.
Kung Po Glazed Duck
A different way to roast duck, the sweetness of the sauce and the tartness of the mango salsa complement the duck. Left over duck can be made into a salad or wraps.
