Dumplings
A favourite of Chinese people from all regions for 1800 years since they were invented by Doctor Zhang, a specialist in Chinese medicine. There are more than 2000 recipes featuring tasty, light pastry filled with delicious meat and / or vegetable fillings. They can be steamed, boiled or fried and are often served with a spicy sauce.
Stir fried diced beef
The “Chao” method of stir frying relies on a big fire! This method became famous during the Ming Dynasty for making dishes with fragrant flavours but was only affordable for the rich as it needed expensive oils and fuel. It became more widespread later as cities grew with wealthier inhabitants. Colourful peppers make this dish look as good as it tastes..
Shanghai Style Pork Ribs
These sumptuous ribs melt in your mouth. Shanghai cuisine emphasises the use of seasonings, the quality of raw ingredients, and preserving the original flavors of those ingredients. Chinese people prize the meat near to the bone as the tastiest and healthiest. This recipe makes the most of this special meat.
Creamy Pumpkin Soup
This tasty starter is best made with Japanese pumpkins for an authentic eastern flavour.
Chinese Style Salads
A unique starter course which can be spiced up according to taste. In Western China this plenty of chilli but in many other regions these dishes are made with various levels of spicyness!
