Three Delicious Authentic Chinese Takeaway Recipes to Try at Home
Wok on this Chinese New Year!
In celebration of Chinese New Year, we’re sharing recipes from new release One Wok, One Pot by Kwoklyn Wan in which he shares the trade secrets behind some of your favourite Chinese takeaway dishes. Here are three delicious dishes to help you get your takeaway fix without the price tag.
POOR MAN’S LOBSTER
A celebratory dish (when using lobster) that is always served at Chinese New Year, Christmas and weddings. Well, now you can have it whenever you fancy as the monkfish mimics the taste and texture of lobster tails perfectly, and the slippery glass noodles soak up the rich Cantonese flavours of the sauce.
BRAISED CHICKEN WITH GLASS NOODLES
Similar to the Korean Jjimdak, a dish that is thought to have originated from the city of Andong in the 1970s and 80s, the braised chicken and soft glass noodles in this dish soak up the spicy sweet soy-based sauce, giving you full flavour with every mouthful.
WATERCRESS AND GINGER SOUP WITH MEATBALLS
Rich in vitamins and antioxidants and full of peppery warmth, this light yet hearty broth with lightly seasoned pork balls is the perfect fix for your mind, body and soul.
