Just a simple tasty stir fry sauce. Great to make with pork or chicken (or just vegetables for vegetarians). You can pretty much add any vegetables you like!
Mapo Tofu made easy
Mapo tofu is a popular Chinese dish which is said to be originated from the Szechuan province. It is a combination of tofu (bean curd) and minced meat, usually pork or beef, in a spicy chilli- and bean-based sauce, typically a thin, oily and bright red suspension. Somehow, the Cantonese have adapted the mapo tofu in our own way and the spiciness is well accepted by most people.
Beef and Lotus Root Stir Fry
A classic Chinese beef dish. Beef steak is marinated, then stir-fried and simmered with lotus roots and wood ear mushrooms. Serve with freshly cooked white rice.
Chicken and ham fried rice
An easy one bowl dish, cheap and quick to make and full of flavour. Great lunch or TV snack. Serve with mini spring rolls, prawn toast and mini ribs for a more substantial meal if required. My husband loves this and thinks it tastes very authentic.
Teriyaki Quorn with Vegetables

A wonderful vegetarian version of the sweet and sour meatballs my mother used to make. A more subtle version as my partner is not a big fan of the 'sweet & sour' flavour.
