Spicy, sweet, salty, crunchy…and completely addictive. That’s how one could describe this Chinese condiment. It has become super trendy in recent years. Use it to boost the flavour of eggs, grilled meat, noodles, tofu and anything that could use a hint of spiciness.

Curried Split Pea and Squash Soup
Inspired by mulligatawny soup, a very fragrant Indian dish, this soup ticks all the right boxes of an efficient, comforting autumnal recipe. Make a large quantity of it and freeze it in several portions. To obtain the desired result, butternut squash and carrots are preferred. Add a generous spice mix and split peas to the veggies in the broth, with coconut milk as a finishing touch. A hearty vegetarian recipe to make in batches so that you can always have some on hand to warm up on chilly nights. Hurrah for soup!

Pork, Ginger and Cilantro Dumplings
Considering that making a large quantity of dumplings could take an entire day, get people to help you in the kitchen. Choose Chinese raviolis stuffed with chopped napa cabbage and ginger to get a clumpy texture. Add ground pork and a mixture of soy sauce, then call your friends to help assemble them. Once they’re all done, freeze them (in order to cook them later directly from the freezer) or steam them, then brown them in a bit of oil. Above all, congratulate everyone on a job well done!

Serve in a hot dog brioche bun. Ultra fresh and crunchy.

Korean-Style Braised Beef
There are classics we love making in advance, like braised beef. In this case, we were inspired by Korean flavours to give the meat a stronger flavour. Ginger and Korean chili pepper are mixed together in the blender to create an aromatic paste, which eliminates the need to chop the ingredients by hand. Add this mixture to the pot before cooking and it will enhance any other ingredient divinely. The meat cooks in a generous, all-purpose sauce (great as a base for soup!). All that’s left to do is to shred the meat and it’ll be ready to garnish ramen or sandwiches.
