Suzie Lee – My top 6 ingredients and how to make the most of them:

Ginger

Garlic

Soy sauce

Sesame oil

Oyster sauce

Spring onions

This is an insight on how I maximise the use of my top Asian ingredients to create super tasty meals but in a low fuss way! While we are making these dishes I will talk all about my top tips on how to use the leftovers and what other ingredients that can be subbed in and ways to reduce food waste when cooking.

Fluffy Birthday Cupcakes – Chiffon cakes are super popular for Chinese celebration cakes and this is really quick to prep. This can be made at the very start of the class and then the rest of the dishes can be made while it is baking. The cupcakes can be decorated at the very end and enjoyed!

Salmon fried rice – such an easy recipe that can be utilised with or without the salmon or meat. Ginger, garlic, sesame oil, soy sauce, oyster sauce and topped with spring onion. This dish packs vegetables and flavour but is super versatile.

Spicy Lotus Root Stir-Fry – a combination of ginger, garlic, sesame oil and soy sauce transformed again to make a crunchy stir fry, but it is not restrictive to the vegetables in my recipe.

Ginger and spring onion sauce – quick and tasty sauce which I think goes with everything, this is the accompanying sauce for Hainanese Chicken Rice.
