Aromatic steamed Asian swordfish

Recipe by: Maggie Pannell

Be the first to review it!

Swordfish has a distinctive, firm, meaty texture, but can become dry if grilled. Here it is steamed with vegetables and spicy Thai flavourings in paper parcels to ensure the flesh stays tender and succulent.

You will never recognise your leftover Christmas turkey when you combine it with Asian ingredients to create this delicious yet quick and easy dish. You may end up making turkey just to have leftovers!

Asian-style Noodle Soup

Recipe by: Angie

Be the first to review it!

In Asia, there are different kinds of 'noodle soup'. This one is a great comfort food on a cold day, but also light and healthy. Quantities are arbitrary - adjust to own taste. Very important to add the shallots as they give the fragrance and flavour. Instead of egg noodles, sometimes I use macaroni. If you are adventurous, eat with chopped hot chilli pepper or add some dried chilli flakes to make the soup spicy.

Banana fritters in coconut batter

Recipe by: Sarah

Be the first to review it!

Try this Asian twist on regular banana fritters with sesame seeds and coconut. These are best served hot, but chances are they'll be gone before they have a moment to cool down. My kids request these all the time and I've started buying glutinous rice flour regularly just for this recipe!

These popular Chinese light bites, filled with chicken and crisp vegetables, are given a new twist, wrapped with filo pastry rather than the usual wonton wrappers, then baked, not deep-fried. Enjoy with a fruity chutney and an Oriental-style salad, or serve as party nibbles.

Devil's Tom Yum Soup

Recipe by: FAIQAH

Reviews(1)

You can easily get the ingredients in any Asian supermarket. But be careful, this is super spicy - which is the best way to eat Tom Yum! You can use chicken instead of fish if you prefer.

Fijian Carrot Soup

I developed this recipe after spending sometime in Fiji where I fell in love with their way of cooking.

Filipino Chicken with Ginger

Recipe by: COOKIEMONSTER64

Be the first to review it!

This is considered the national dish of the Philippines. The combination of soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, ginger and peppercorns is delicious and actually preserves the chicken! My mother taught me how to cook this, using her variation from the original recipe.

Fish and Tamarind Soup

Recipe by: Kim Abdullah

Be the first to review it!

Snapper is cooked in a fragrant Asian-style stock. You can find tamarind juice in Asian supermarkets. If you don't have any to hand, you can substitute distilled malt vinegar, as the tamarind juice lends a sour flavour.

This is a simple Asian-inspired cucumber salad with ginger and lime. Great for summer.

Ginger Garlic Paste

Recipe by: DC Girly Girl

Be the first to review it!

After finding heaps of recipes calling for ginger-garlic paste, but only finding ginger paste or garlic paste, but not both, at my local supermarket, I decided to find a recipe for it myself. Basically it is just equal amounts of root ginger and garlic pulsed together. Store in the refrigerator or freezer. You may use water in place of the oil, but it will not keep as long.

Homemade Spring Roll Wrappers

Recipe by: PATTY5

Be the first to review it!

This is a simple recipe if you want to have a go at making homemade spring roll wrappers. Be sure to keep the dough chilled, as the egg will remain raw until the spring rolls have been cooked.

Prawns are a source of selenium, which helps to protect the cardiovascular system.

Malay-style braised fish

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Reviews(2)

Gentle braising is an excellent cooking method for fish, keeping it moist and succulent. Spiced with care and simmered in a little coconut milk, the fish here is delicious with plain noodles or rice. For a casserole with a livelier flavour, leave the seeds in the chilli or use one of the tiny, very hot Thai chillies.

Malaysian prawns and pineapple

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Be the first to review it!

This is really quick to make, yet very authentic-tasting. Although creamed coconut is a rich source of fat, this recipe uses much less than is usually found in Malaysian and Thai recipes. Serve with rice noodles or rice.
