"A dish that is humble in its parts but so beautifully satisfying to devour. My recipes often call for marinating meat before stir-frying, and the goal with this is not only to add flavour, colour and seasoning, but also to tenderise." - Marion Grasby This recipe is an edited extract from The Essential Wok Companion by Marion Grasby, published by Oriana Press, RRP $70.00.

"I am addicted to this stir fry! Fresh and packed with umami flavours, every mouthful gets better. Feel free to use any noodle you like - a thick, flat rice noodle is also delicious, as is an egg noodle. The most important part of a stir-fry, or any quick recipe, is to have everything prepared and chopped, so once you start cooking, it all comes together seamlessly in a few minutes." – Tom Walton

Dinner is ready in a flash with this wok-fried salmon and soba noodle recipe.

Aromatic spices meet tender turkey mince and crisp vegetables in flavour-packed stiry-fry. Quick and easy to prepare, this dish is perfect for a delicious weeknight meal, served with steamed jasmine rice and a squeeze of lime.

"This is a dish that always transports me back to my Mum’s kitchen in Malaysia. It’s still one of the top dishes I ask her to cook for me when I visit. She uses pork as the main protein, but in this version, I use chicken thighs, and I cook them in my trusty wok, which has a lid. But a heavy-based saucepan with a lid works just as well,” says MasterChef's Alvin Quah.

Move over, 2-minute noodles. This beef and udon dish will make your evening.

“This unique and flavourful entree is sure to get your taste buds tingling as you savour its spicy, seafood-based flavours. Paired with the classic Chinese noodle dish, chow mein, this combination brings together two distinctly different cultures in one delectable meal. Get ready to enjoy an exciting culinary experience that’s both cheerful and comforting." – Will Meyrick

Pack an extra punch at your next dinner party with Olivia Andrews' flavoursome Thai-style chilli basil chicken recipe.

If you're looking for an easy weeknight meal, this turkey stir-fry recipe is a simple and delicious option. Turkey mince is a great lean alternative to beef and pork mince while still being full of juicy flavour. The warm Japanese udon noodles make a delicious, chewy addition and the perfect thing to slurp up all that rich, sticky sauce.

"We’ve used store-bought rice noodles in the pad see ew for convenience, but, says Grasby, homemade fresh rice noodles are essential for a true pad see ew in Bangkok. Fresh pasta must always be allowed to rest and relax before rolling, says Colloca. And for dried pasta, “whatever the instructions say about cooking time, take it out two minutes before”, as it keeps cooking" Silvia & Marion.

“Udon is thick and chewy, exactly what you want when you have a big bowl of noodles – be careful not to overcook the noodles so they keep their bite. And try to keep the yolk of the fried egg nice and soft so you can stir it through the pork.”

This is the noodle equivalent of surf and turf you've been looking for.

Olivia Andrews' lightning-fast salt and pepper fish stir-fry is perfect as a midweek dinner and doubles up as a tasty lunch treat the next day.

Fresh and flavoursome, this warming dish will shake up your mid-week meal roster.
