Recipes with salt
Thai Style Hot and Sour Squid is a bright, punchy dish of squid rings briefly blanched, cooled, and dressed in a fragrant chilli-herb sauce. The dressing is blended from green and red chillies, onion, coriander roots, mint leaves, and garlic, then balanced with soy sauce, fish sauce, sesame oil, salt, sugar, and half a lime’s juice—finished with sliced lemon poured over the squid for a fresh, citrusy lift.
Fluffy Sweet Potato Cheese Bread is a soft, enriched bread that hides a creamy sweet-potato filling and a generous layer of mozzarella in the centre. The dough is made with bread flour, egg, warm milk, yeast, sugar, salt, and melted unsalted butter for a tender, pillowy crumb. Inside, mashed sweet potatoes are seasoned with a pinch of salt and black pepper, then loosened with milk for a smoother, creamier texture before being spread into the middle and topped with mozzarella.
Tamagoyaki is a soft, layered Japanese-style omelette made by rolling thin sheets of egg into a neat, sliceable log. This version mixes eggs with milk, a touch of salt and sugar, then adds shredded crab sticks and optional cheese for extra richness—perfect cut into bite-size pieces or served over rice.

A luxe, umami-rich spaghetti dish with a creamy matsutake-and-garlic base, boosted with truffle pesto and finished with caviar for a salty, elegant pop. A final drizzle of avocado oil adds extra smoothness, while simple salt and black pepper keep the flavours clean and focused.
The pork shoulder has the right amount of fat and lean meat, and the meat is tender. Cut the pork shoulder into thin slices and fry it. The meat is fragrant but not greasy, and soft but not brittle. This dish is marinated with dry rub (salt, five-spice powder, black pepper and garlic powder), which can bring out the original flavor of the meat. No water will overflow when frying, and it will enhance the wok aroma.
Cheesy Beef Potato Bowl turns cooked potatoes into cozy “potato bowls,” filled with a savory ground-beef mixture (egg, shallots, garlic, salt, sugar, and black pepper), topped with mozzarella, then baked until hot and melty—finished with a sprinkle of green onions for a fresh bite.
The ribs, with their caramelised amber skin, are coated in a warm, garlicky aroma, and the burst of juices in your mouth is incredibly satisfying. High-temperature grilling locks in the meat's freshness, while slow cooking brings out the sweetness of the garlic, making every bite a delight for the taste buds. The garlic flavour is not overpowering, and the meat is not dry; the caramelised aroma and tenderness dance on the tongue—this is the right way to enjoy ribs.
Ground Pot Fish is a comforting pot of sea bass layered with assorted mushrooms and tofu, finished in a fragrant base of garlic, ginger, diced tomato, star anise, and spicy bean paste. Hua tiao wine, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and dark soy sauce bring a deep, savory aroma, while green onions, white pepper, and salt keep the flavors clean and balanced. A cozy, shareable dish that’s rich, warming, and full of umami.
Braised Pork Tail with Chestnuts is a bold, warming dish where pork tail and chestnuts soak up a savory blend of soy sauce, dry pot sauce, oyster oil, and beer. Ginger, garlic, green onion, and a mix of green, red, and dried chillies add fragrance and heat, finished simply with salt and white pepper for a rich, deeply satisfying bite.
