Easy 15 Minute Teriyaki Salmon

May 26, 2020

easy-15-minute-teriyaki-salmon
Yup, you read that right. This easy 15 minute teriyaki salmon takes no time at all to make and you don't need many condiments either. I usually cook 4 fillets at the same time and whilst that's cooking away, I'll have another pan for the veggies. My rice cooker is always on way before I start cooking so rice is ready around the same time that the salmon and vegetables has finished cooking.

This Chinese style pork chop recipe is just like the way my parents make it and I love it. As soon as the chops hit the sizzling pan, the aroma that fills the house is just irresistible. My parents always squeezed lots of ginger juice into the marinade and this is the key for making them taste so good.

Chinese Char Siu Chicken | Halogen Oven Recipe

October 12, 2018

Chinese-char-siu-chicken
Over the Summer, I had many opportunities to marinade meats for the BBQ and in particular, one that went down really well was this char siu style chicken, after a self-made-recipe tip off from my good friend Kelly. I used the marinade for chicken wings and drumsticks, and both came out utterly delicious and addictive.
