Sweet and Spicy Gochujang Chicken
Chicken is a versatile meat that works with many different recipes. This particular dish from allrecipes can have it serve as a platform for a sweet, spicy and slightly salty sauce. With ginger and garlic again involved, mirin (a sweet rice wine) is also present to offer a different and subtly rich flavour. This dish is also very customisable in terms of garnishes. You can pair it with rice or a wide variety of steamed vegetables, making it a tasty canvas which you can adapt and add your own personal signature to!
Stir-Fried Duck with Green Onions
It wouldn’t be a complete list of East-Asian recipes without duck! It’s a popular meat in China for a variety of reasons; its cheapness, wide availability, and unique flavour that stands out from other meats. This recipe from Lodge Cast Iron centres around the pairing of duck with both green and red onions, which give the duck two unique types of acidity. The dish is also complemented with a variety of liquids, from soy sauce and oyster sauce to chicken stock and sesame oil. The variety of ingredients that go along with the crispy meat and vegetables will be sure to appeal to many palates.
Vegan Stir Fry
So, what can you do if you’re a vegan? Well, the wok can also create a beautiful vegan stir fry from Kathy’s Vegan Kitchen, that you and all your vegan guests can enjoy! This stir fry consists of a great selection of vegetables. There are onions, mushrooms, garlic, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, red bell peppers, courgettes and even bok choy! The components of soy sauce, garlic and ginger are essential in creating the iconic stir fry flavour, which will make any of its adaptations tasty.
