“No party in the Philippines is complete without pancit – noodle dishes. Pancit represent longevity, so the noodle threads are left long.

“Fried rice is a staple around any Têt feast. It’s a crowd favourite, it’s simple and it’s kid-friendly. This version is a little bit more for the adults, and pays homage to Cà Mau in Vietnam, the fishing village along the Mekong Delta where my family is from, which is famous for its shellfish.” – Khanh Ong

This easy Thai red curry recipe is the ultimate weeknight dinner option. Ready in under 30 minutes, this creamy and spicy fish curry uses fresh salmon fillets simmered in a coconut milk base with aromatic Thai ingredients like makrut lime leaves, fish sauce and curry paste to create those iconic delicious flavours. Served with light and fluffy rice, this quick and easy salmon curry recipe is your next staple.

On the table in 30 minutes, this delicious dinner ticks all the boxes. Juicy, crispy chicken with a sticky chilli sauce, loads of vegies and fluffy steamed rice. We chose asparagus, broccolini and red onion, but you can throw in any you have and toss the lot through some udon or soba noodles instead of rice. But stick to thigh fillets for the chicken, as that will give you a much more tender, flavoursome meat than breast fillet.  

"The spicy miso burnt butter takes this humble bowl of flavoured rice and canned tuna to another level. Mixed with creamy Kewpie and served alongside a bowl of miso soup, it’s comfort food at its best." – Lucy Nunes

A lighter spin on the creamy classic, this version swaps out the heavy cream for Greek yoghurt, keeping this chicken alfredo rich but bright.
