Homemade Chicken Stock – Two Types from One Batch of Ingredients
One batch of ingredients, two different homemade chicken stocks! First batch for the clear chicken stock. Then reuse the reused the ingredients to simmer a second time, creating a rich, milky stock. It's a practical way to prepare homemade stock ahead of time and make everyday family meals easier.
Chicken Soup Meehoon
A simple, comforting chicken soup meehoon made with homemake chicken soup stock, garlic, ginger and tender chicken. Perfect for an easy family dinner.
Nori Pasta with Grilled Steak
A savoury, umami packed pasta made with roasted seaweed, sesame and Parmesan, topped with juicy grilled steak.
Pan Mee
A comforting homemade Pan Mee inspired by one of my favourite childhood hawker meals. Made with anchovy soup, goji leaves and fishballs, topped with crispy anchovies, savoury minced pork, shiitake mushrooms and black fungus. Serve with sambal belacan for that extra kick.
Steamed Tiger Grouper with Scallion Ginger Sauce
Aromatic, tender steamed tiger grouper topped with fragrant scallion ginger sauce. This is an easy family meal that makes use of a sauce prepared ahead of time, so you can get a delicious dinner on the table with less fuss. The best part? The same scallion ginger sauce used in my viral scallion chicken works beautifully with steamed fish too!
Salmon Ochazuke
A simple Japanese comfort meal that’s light, nourishing and incredibly easy to make. When I want something warm but not too heavy, this is one of my favourite meals. Grilled salmon, fluffy rice, bonito flakes and furikake are brought together with a comforting bowl of warm tea. It’s simple enough for busy weekdays, yet satisfying enough that all four of my kids finished everything.
Braised Pork Shoulder with Eggs
A simple one pot braised pork dish made with tender pork shoulder and boiled eggs, cooked in a rich, savoury sweet sauce. It’s one of those family meals that’s easy to prepare, especially on busy days, and the gravy is so good with rice that one bowl is never enough!
Double Boiled Herbal Chicken Soup
A naturally sweet and comforting chicken soup made with dried scallops, red dates, cordyceps flower and goji berries. The double boiling method keeps the soup concentrated without reducing the liquid, making it a simple and wholesome family meal served with noodles or rice.
Oxtail Pho
A comforting bowl of homemade oxtail pho with tender beef, fragrant spices and a rich, flavourful broth. It takes some preparation, but using a pressure cooker makes the long cooking time much easier to fit around a busy day.
Shallot Oil Noodles
These shallot oil noodles are quick, simple and full of savoury flavour from shallot oil, fried shallots and a few pantry sauces. A fuss free noodle dish my kids happily finish.
Tomato Egg Soup Noodles
A fuss free noodle soup that comes together quickly using my homemade Chintan chicken stock, perfect for busy lunch days.
Fishball MeeXian
A simple, comforting bowl of fishball noodles made with homemade anchovy soup, pork slices, fishballs, lettuce and MeeXian.
