Chinese

Snipping noodles makes them easier to mix through the other ingredients. Note

Cantonese food comes from the Guangdong province in China; it is characterised by well balanced flavours and modest use of spices.

To make vegetarian, use 250g mashed firm tofu instead of chicken, and swap fish sauce for soy sauce. Don’t overfill dumplings, as some fillings expand during cooking. Note

If desired, use fresh or frozen corn kernels. “Egg flowers” can be omitted if preferred. Note

Try adding a splash of soy sauce just before serving. Note

Refrigerate your rice overnight before cooking, use the biggest pan you have and pre-heat it well. That will ensure this Chinese fried rice is cooked to perfection.

For a delicious dipping sauce, combine table salt with ground white pepper and add a squeeze of lemon. Note

If you have a thermometer, oil should be 180°C. Be sure to remove any random bones. Note
