Sweet Chilli Chicken
Sweet chilli chicken is perfect for any novices out there, who like me want to make an exquisite tasting meal that is really easy to prepare. It can be cooked and on your table in 20 minutes, so not a lot of preperation needed!
Chinese lemon chicken
This is a very simple recipe for a classic Chinese dish. The chicken is battered and fried which gives the tangy lemon sauce something to stick to, whilst keeping the chicken juicy and tender.
I’ve tried many different recipes for lemon sauce and the one I’ve created here is by far the best and easiest I’ve made. I hope you like it!
Chicken and noodle soup
This recipe for Chicken and noodle soup is strongly influenced by my love of Japanese, Chinese and Thai cookery. It contains some strong individual flavours like ginger, lemongrass, garlic and chilli. Combined them with the honey and sherry though and you’ve got a delicious and light soup.
It’ll warm you through and leave you feeling cleansed and satisfied. Just what’s needed to lift the Winter blues and start the year in the best way possible.
Chicken Pasanda
For my last recipe celebrating National Curry Week, and also to use up a little more of the Total Greek Yoghurt I’ve been sent, I’m treating you to a Chicken Pasanda. This is the curry that I always used to order when eating out at a restaurant. I just love the creaminess and nutty flavour of the sauce – the Total yoghurt is thick, tasty and full fat, so ideal for this.
There are a lot of ingredients and the method is long, but as they say no pain no gain! Give it a go, I think you’ll like it!
Chicken Korma
It’s National Curry Week so what better way to celebrate than share my recipe for one of the most loved curries there is? Chicken Korma has a nice deep spicy flavour, but because of the yoghurt tends to be nice and mild which is probably why it’s loved so much – you could of course add more chilli!
Sweet & Sour Chicken Cantonese Style
This recipe uses my basic sweet and sour sauce which you could use for many other Chinese dishes, or just as a dip. You should try the whole recipe first though, as it’s one of my best yet. It’s Cantonese style as the chicken is battered and, although this means more work for you, it pays off in the end. The battered chicken gives the sauce something to stick to and leaves the inside moist and tender.
Chicken Kiev
A crispy breadcrumbs coating, and an oozing center of buttery-garlic-parsley goodness. Serve with a selection of fresh vegetables.
