Hot & Spicy Peanut Butter Noodles

May 10

You can find lots of different noodles in an Asian supermarket which would no doubt be delicious coated in this nutty sauce, but I do love those packets of thick worm-like udon noodles which just need a quick blast in a pot of boiling water.

Method
  1. Cook the noodles in boiling water until tender.
  2. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over a medium heat whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, oils, garlic and ginger until smooth.
  3. Loosen the mixture with a little water, adding a tablespoon at a time until you are left with a sauce. When it comes to a steady simmer, lower the heat and keep it warm.
  4. Drain the noodles and while they are still hot, toss through the peanut butter sauce. Add the chilli, spring onions and sesame seeds and toss again. Serve straight away

Asian Beef Noodle Salad

December 29

This is a variation on the classic Thai dish, Beef Laab, a spicy ground beef salad from the North East of Thailand normally served with steamed sticky rice.  Here I’ve used the spicy ground beef mixture as the main element of a fresh tasting noodle salad.  This dish can be topped with toasted sesame seeds, chopped toasted peanuts or ground toasted sticky rice.

Chinese Five-spice Pork Belly with Chilli Noodles and Asian Greens

October 23

Crispy crackling and tender pork belly meat paired with Chinese five-spice powder – a match made in heaven. For just the tiniest amount of work in the kitchen, using an inexpensive piece of meat, you get the most amazing results, which will feed a crowd. There are many different things you can do with pork belly as it’s quite versatile, but I like the simplicity of this method; it’s a nod to Asia, where this is an incredibly popular cut of meat.

Healthy Singapore Noodles

February 14

Singapore noodles are a standard Chinese restaurant dish, but making them at home is so easy and it also means you can monitor what’s going in to them, adding whatever healthy vegetables you feel like. The addition of curry powder to this dish not only brings a new flavour to it, but it coats the noodles and gives a great texture to every bite.
