Skip the take-away, cook a simple, homemade, Asian-inspired dinner instead.

Get out the chopsticks and put on the green tea, this crunchy, textured, fresh and light Asian banquet is a feast for friends and family

The Starter

We’re used to turkey appearing in one particular celebratory feast, but this is something completely new and fresh.

Drinks writer Mike Bennie says, “Some unusual flavours and spice elements in this menu, but as often the case with Asian feasts, the instinct to go with dry, thirst-slaking beer and riesling again comes out on top.”

Drink match: Dry, crisp beer (try Mountain Goat Summer Ale)

The Salad

Give tuna a happy dusting with sesame seeds in a zingy twist on sashimi.

Drink match: Vibrant Eden Valley Riesling (try Leo Buring Eden Valley Riesling)

The Main

Let people help themselves to this salad with crisp pork belly, but be sure to get in quick.

Drink match: Red to chill (try de Bortoli La Boheme Act Four Syrah Gamay)
