Recipes with black pepper
- Taste: After frying, the pork chop becomes golden and crispy on the outside, while the meat inside remains tender and juicy. If you choose tenderloin, the taste will be more tender; pork belly will be tender and have a certain oil aroma; the chewiness of pork chop also adds a rich layer to the taste.
Salt and Pepper Calamari is a crisp, punchy squid dish coated in a 1:1 flour-and-cornstarch mix, fried until lightly browned, then tossed through sizzling minced garlic and chopped parsley. The finish is all about the bold kick of freshly ground Sichuan pepper, black pepper, and salt—fragrant, spicy, and seriously moreish.
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.
A fresh, savory shrimp dish built around creamy mashed avocado and crisp cucumber slices, finished with aromatic garlic and scallions plus a touch of black pepper. Clean flavors, satisfying texture, and a bright, modern plate that feels light but still indulgent.

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.
Imagine a steaming hot skillet arriving at your table — the air alive with sizzle and warmth. At the centre, a cloud of fluffy rice nestles beneath a melting pad of butter, while thin ribbons of beef begin to sear and caramelise at the edges. As you stir, the grains take on a glossy coat of savory sauce, mingling with bursts of sweet corn and the faint crunch of scallions. The result is a hearty, comforting platter that crackles with heat — smoky beef, buttery rice, and fragrant pepper blending into a satisfying harmony. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner that still feels indulgent and fun, it’s a simple dish with a dramatic presentation that warms from the skillet up.
Burrata Steak Salad pairs a steak cooked to your liking with creamy burrata on a bed of salad leaves, cherry tomatoes, and sun-dried tomatoes. Sweet corn is lightly seared in butter, then everything is tossed in a glossy balsamic-honey dressing with salt and black pepper, with optional truffle sauce adding an extra luxe finish.
Simple and easy to make; the white cod is tender and delicious.
Dive into a bowl of creamy comfort with this Sichuan-style twist on the classic carbonara. Each forkful offers silky pasta enveloped in a rich, nutty sauce — subtly buttery and golden — thanks to the pistachio butter and egg-cheese emulsion. Crisp, smoky Sichuan bacon adds a deep savoury crunch and a hint of Sichuan character, while the scattered strands of Parmigiano Regiano melt into the sauce, stitching everything together with salty, aromatic cheese notes. The black pepper brings a gentle sharpness that cuts through the richness, making every bite balanced and satisfying. Light enough for a cosy dinner, yet indulgent enough to feel like a treat — this carbonara re-imagined brings a comforting warmth with a pinch of adventure.
