Chilli, Salt and Pepper Squid

This classic Cantonese starter is simple to make, but for real success, there are a couple of rules you need to follow. Most important: always use clean oil for your deep-frying. The resulting batter will be crisp, crunchy and light, as opposed to heavy, greasy and ‘dirty’ in flavour. And be sure to serve it immediately: this dish is best eaten piping hot.

Belgian White Asparagus With Shrimp and Scrambled Eggs

I try to avoid carbs as much as possible and this recipe is just about the best thing ever. It’s low in fat, high in nutrition but it does fill you up. These directions are for one, so just multiply the ingredients for however many you need. You can also use this recipe as a starter.

Chicory/Belgian Endive and Orange Salad With Ginger Dressing

This salad is one of the suggested side dishes that goes with Roast Salmon with Spiced Coconut Crumbs Roast (Recipe #141533). However, you may want to serve it as a side or starter in combination with other Asian style dishes. I have to admit that I’ve never followed this recipe exactly, but I often use it as a base.
