The impressive dish that actually requires very little effort
There are chicken stiry fries and then there’s Jeremy Pang’s General Tso’s chicken. Crispy chicken is marinated then coated in corn flour and fried, then doused in an incredible sauce; spicy, salty and deeply tangy from black rice vinegar and soy.
Keep things simple and make our crispy fry-up in a pan complete with spuds, mushrooms and tasty chorizo.

The 15-minute sandwich you can serve as a dinner…
There’s always a place for a sandwich at our table, especially this Turkish style fish sandwich. It makes for the speediest supper: just drizzle lettuce with oil and lemon juice, spread dill yogurt on rolls, then top with the lettuce, mackerel and pickled onions. You’ll be feeling like you’re right on the banks of the Golden Horn.
