Roti jala (Malaysian net pancakes)

plain flour

turmeric

eggs

milk

vegetable oil

Heat oven to 140C/120C fan/gas 1. Mix the flour, 1 tsp salt and turmeric together in a large bowl and make a well in the middle. Add the eggs to the well, plus a good splash of the milk and water mix. Whisk until smooth and thick, without any lumps. Gradually whisk in the rest of the milk and water mix to make a thin batter. Transfer the batter, using a funnel, to a squeezy bottle, if using.

Heat 1 tsp oil in a non-stick frying pan. Squeeze the bottle and scribble a net of the batter into the pan, working as quickly as you can. When the pancake has set (after about 30 secs), flip it with a fish slice and briefly cook the other side. These pancakes cook very quickly, so watch them closely. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil as needed. Layer the pancakes between sheets of baking parchment and keep warm in the oven while you cook the rest.

Easy to make and the perfect accompaniment alongside five spice roasted chicken quarters!

Another great recipe.  It is an easy way to use up oranges that are not great for eating. The leftovers are fantastic cold  or on top of a salad.

I had this in a skillet waiting to serve with Christmas dinner. It never made it to the table. Everyone started picking out pieces from the skillet until there was not one piece left to serve. Quite a hit with family!

Great side dish to go along with asian-inspired meat dishes.

The first time I made this, did exactly as written and had no leftovers. The second time, I doubled the sauce and added cooked chicken at the end. It was also excellent! 

I just made this tonight and thought it was EXCELLENT!  The broccoli was cooked and sauced to perfection. Gina, my girlfriend and I started WW a couple months ago and I think I've honestly made at least 30 of your recipes. They are ALL delicious, and I've lost twenty pounds. I just wanted to tell you that the time you take with this blog has made a real positive difference in my life; thank you!

Made this for Mother's Day and the bowl was empty!  20 minutes in the oven at 375 (convect) made the broccoli perfect.  I mixed up the sauce and didn't bother to dirty another pan - just tossed it all in a bowl and served!   Really nice hint of sweet from the orange, and Asian flair from the sesame oil.  

Throw together the easiest 20-minute weeknight side dish with this Asian-style green bean recipe. It only takes 6 ingredients to enjoy perfectly cooked green beans, complemented by tasty soy sauce and then elevated with the perfect amount of spice from some crushed red peppers.

Reduce the heat to low and add soy sauce, garlic, and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook for an additional 1 - 2 minutes to allow the flavors to marry. Taste the green beans, and add Morton kosher salt to taste, as needed.

Transfer green beans to a serving bowl or platter. Optionally, garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
