Homemade Chicken Gyoza

free range chicken breast, minced or chopped in a food processor

garlic

chinese leaf

white cabbage

water chestnuts

sesame oil

fish sauce

1tsp sugar

chives

salt and pepper

gyoza skins (buy them frozen

Blitz the ginger, garlic, Chinese leaf, cabbage and water chestnuts in a food processor till finely chopped.  Mix with the remaining ingredients, except the gyoza skins, till everything is evenly distributed.

Place a teaspoon of the mixture in the middle of each gyoza skin, dampen the edge with a little water before folding and crimping either by hand or gadget until you&#8217;ve used all of your chicken mixture.  You should get around thirty five dumplings.  Now, either cook them up or you can freeze them in smaller portions for future use.

To cook, get a large heavy bottomed frying pan and heat 1tbsp oil over a high heat.  Place no more than five dumplings in the pan and fry for two minutes to get that delicious crispy bottom.  Pop three tablespoons of water into the pan and immediately cover the pan with a lid, turn the heat down to medium and allow to steam for two minutes.  Once the two minutes are up remove the pan from the heat and allow to steam for a further two minutes.  Your dumplings are now ready to eat, serve with a little soy sauce and chilli oil.

"If I’m honest, brown rice is the only variety I’m good at cooking without the help of a rice cooker. For this recipe I tend to overcook the brown rice to make a congee-style dish that is brilliant on its own or with most other things as a side." Matt Wilkinson

Garlic, ginger and sesame brown rice

(60 milliliters) sunflower oil

(200 grams) brown rice

tbs white sesame seeds, toasted

Chilli oil, to serve

Finely shredded spring onions, to serve

Try this steamed sea bass with fragrant, flavourful ingredients as the centrepiece for a Chinese menu. Steaming ensures the fish stays moist and flakes apart

Steamed sea bass

sea bass

tbsp light soy sauce

tbsp dark soy sauce

vegetable oil

tsp palm sugar

spring onion

coriander

½ red chilli

Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Put half the ginger in the cavity of the fish, then lay it on foil. Pull the sides of the foil up around the fish to create a foil bowl, then add 1 tbsp water (this will steam the fish), seal and cook in the oven for 15-20 mins or a large bamboo steamer until the fish is flaking apart.

Transfer to a serving platter, leaving the juices in the foil. Heat the soy sauces, oil and palm sugar in a saucepan with 1 tbsp water until boiling and bubbling. Top the fish with the spring onion, chilli, most of the coriander and the rest of the ginger. Pour the hot liquid over the fish to ‘cook’ the aromatics on top. Scatter over any leftover coriander stalks to serve.

Oyster sauce gives prawns a big umami hit, with flat-rice noodles to suck up all that flavour.
