I use chicken here but feel free to switch with any protein, even prawns/shrimp. If you're after a truly authentic Pad Thai recipe, see here - but be warned that most people will find it a little too "real" for their palettes because Pad Thai in Thailand has stronger fish sauce/dried shrimp "funk". (Don't misread that word! :))

Persian Slow Roasted Lamb. Moreish and divine is the best way to describe this slow cooked lamb. The exotic scents that fill the kitchen while cooking this dish are incredible.
Pajeon, which literally translates to green onion/scallion pancakes, are Korean pancakes that can easily be customised to your liking. For my version, I drew inspiration from Haemul Pajeon which are Seafood and Green Onion Pancakes. But of course since this is a vegan pajeon, I used king oyster mushrooms to mimic the texture of squid since it has a rubbery texture. I also added some extra vegetables such as carrot and onion for that extra crunch. I also made my own dipping sauce to pair with this vegan jeon or pancake.

These gorgeous Pistachio Cream Puffs are topped with a sweet craquelin topping and piped full of a creamy, nutty Whipped Pistachio White Chocolate Ganache.
If you don’t already know, I’m a super-duper big fan of Korean food. Do you know they actually serve different banchan (small side dishes) to Korean customers vs non-Korean customers in Korean restaurants? I contemplated so many times to learn Korean language so I could order in Korean and hopefully pass off as one, so they’ll serve me those secret speakeasy side dishes. Tiger thinks I’m Crazy – with a capital C.
These Chinese Chive Pies or Pockets 韭菜盒子 have a very crispy exterior but really chewy dough inside. It's filled with a mix of chives (of course), veggies, and vermicelli noodles! They're wrapped in homemade wrappers and I really think freshly made dough makes a BIG DIFFERENCE. Freshly made wrappers from homemade dough turn out so much chewier, they also don't easily break apart when you fill them with your choice of veggies and noodles.
Recipe video above. Kung Pao chicken - done right! The flavour of this sauce is very similar to proper restaurant versions, with a great balance of savoury-sweet and sour with the numbing tingle from Sichuan pepper. Use whole Sichuan peppercorns if you have them, otherwise ground is fine (which is what I use).
