Teriyaki Chicken Meatballs These Teriyaki Meatballs are a total crowd pleaser. The sauce for this recipe is based on my mother’s real-deal Teriyaki Chicken recipe (you will be surprised how easy it is – less than 15 minutes start to finish, NO marinating!). All I did was add cornflour / cornstarch as thickener and water to thin it out to make it more saucy. My mother is a bit of a food snob when it comes to western twists on Japanese classics....
A THAI CHICKEN SALAD WITH BIG FLAVOURS! Yowzer! This is about as far as you can get from bland, boring salads. I’m a huge fan of Asian salads because they are typically much lighter and fresher than many Western ones, and the dressings pack a great flavour punch. And this one is no exception. It’s a chilli-lime Thai dressing that has that South East Asian signature sweet-salty-tangy balance with a little buzz of heat from chilli....
Use it now to make Thai Green Curry – or keep it for later! Thai Green Curry Paste recipe!

But in the cupcake world, I truly do believe these to be the best that can be for a simple no-standmixer, no creaming butter recipe. I was back and forth about which cupcake recipe to share.

(Self-proclaimed titles are fully encouraged around here!) Char Kway Teow is probably the first recipe ever that I’m going to describe as deceptively difficult.
