Chicken and Sweetcorn Soup
Creamed corn is an important ingredient in this soup. It makes a perfect starter as it can be made ahead of time, refrigerated and warmed up. Remember to add the egg prior to serving the soup and not before.
Starters
Salt and Pepper King Prawns
Cook these prawns in their shells with salt, black pepper and butter and you will be surprised at the results. We have added a little chopped chilli for heat. Our supermarkets sell frozen king prawns at a reasonable price.
Crispy Seaweed with Toasted Sesame Seeds
A popular restaurant starter, Crispy Seaweed is actually deep fried spring greens. Try making this at home for a cheap and easy starter or use it as a garnish for other appetizers.
Hokkien Mee
This Hawker noodle dish from Singapore and Malaysia is cooked in a broth made from prawns and pigs tails. As you may encounter problems obtaining pigs tails from your local supermarket I have replaced them in this recipe with spare ribs.
Just Cooked Pak Choi
Pak Choi can be found in most supermarkets. However, feel free to use any other green vegetable. Tenderstem or sprouting broccoli is another healthy option. Vegetarians can use Wing Yip Mushroom Sauce.
Basic Steak Marinade
A basic marinade for all meats.
Plum and Coriander Salad Dressing
Make up exotic dressings using Wing Yip Sauces. As most of the sauces are concentrate, a little goes a long way.
Spare Ribs with 5 Spice and Hoi Sin
Here are two ways to cook spare ribs, on the BBQ or in the oven. Which ever method you use, do make sure you marinade the ribs for at least 3 hour.
Hot and Sour Soup
This soup is popular because it has so many different flavours – pepper hot, slightly sweet and savoury. Our version uses Wing Yip’s Spicy Szechuan Sauce.
Egg Fried Rice
Rice is an important part of a Chinese meal as it provides the ‘bulk’ necessary to a full meal. Ideally, use day old rice (remember to keep it refrigerated). If that is not possible, ensure the rice is cold.
