Kung Po Turkey with Oriental Stuffing

Here we have added oriental flavours of star anise, cinnamon and ginger and basted our turkey with Kung Po Sauce for an unusual and different Christmas experience. Our stuffing is made with glutinous (sticky) rice, but you may choose to use jasmine rice as an alternative.

Skewered Sweet and Sour BBQ Prawns

This is a good way to serve whole fresh prawns. Skewer the whole prawn from tail to head, coat in sauce and cook quickly. Serve with fresh lime which will also help to clean sticky fingers.

<p>Crispy duck is served with Chinese pancakes, shredded spring onions, cucumber and Hoisin sauce. Some restaurants serve this dish with Plum sauce as an alternative.</p>

Vegetarian Spring Rolls

Some supermarkets sell spring roll wrappers. If you cannot get hold of them use filo pastry instead. For a different flavour, replace spring onions with 10g of chopped coriander.
