Chinese New Year Sweet Rice

Recipe by: SEMANO

Be the first to review it!

This is a traditional Chinese sweet rice recipe that is usually served for the Chinese New Year. This recipe was handed down to me from my dad who liked to eat this alone as a main dish, so it's a little heartier than most other sweet rice recipes. For those of you who know what Chinese sweet rice is, this is the most delicious recipe yet!

Chinese New Year Turnip Cake

Recipe by: Carol, Chung Chi Wa

Be the first to review it!

This recipe is handed down from my mum's mum. This is NOT a dessert (not sweet), but more like a 'quick bread' for the Chinese. This 'cake' is usually made and eaten during the Chinese New Year or its slices are usually found all year round as dim sum in Chinese restaurants. This cake can be kept for 1 week in the fridge (but usually it's finished within a day!!)

Crisp filo parcels open to reveal a creamy seafood filling that contrasts wonderfully with a ginger and pineapple sauce. Try serving with a medley of mixed seasonal baby vegetables.

Devil's Curry

Recipe by: FAIQAH

Be the first to review it!

This is extremely spicy dish and very popular in South East Asia, especially in Singapore, Malaysia and the Phillipines. There are many variations to this traditional dish, and I'll try to be as close to the real thing as I can with my version. Don't worry, you can easily get the ingredients at any Asian supermarket. Serve with white rice and a big smile.

Vietnamese Beef Pho

In this classic soup, paper-thin slices of beef are cooked with rice noodles in individual serving bowls into which hot beef stock, herbs and spices have been added. For a more authentic tasting pho - you will need to go to an Asian shop and buy pho stock cubes.

Vietnamese fish salad

Recipe by: Brenda Houghton

Be the first to review it!

Toasted rice and peanuts add crunch to these whiting fillets, ‘cooked’ in a powerful rice vinegar marinade. Try making this dish part of a Far Eastern banquet by adding bowls of Ratatouille Chinese-style, Green Vegetable Salad with Garlic and Ginger and Rice Vermicelli with Mustard and Chillies (all found on this website).

Wontons for Noodle Soup

Recipe by: CWYC

Be the first to review it!

This recipe makes a huge batch - around 150 wontons. The great thing is you can freeze them. Wonton noodle soup is a traditional Cantonese meal served as a hearty breakfast or lunch. These wontons, made from seasoned pork and prawns, are the actual dumplings served with noodles and chicken stock. 'Dashi' - or fish flakes - is an optional ingredient, but adds wonderful flavour. The wrappers or skins are smaller than spring roll wrappers and can be bought fresh or frozen from Asian shops.
