It cost £4.25 to make, feeding a young family of 4 and with leftovers too. Rice is not included in the cost of this recipe, so you'll need to factor this in.

For the final recipe in my blog series "Chinese Food on a Budget: Feed a Family of 4 for £30 a week", this Chinese Braised Pork and Potatoes uses up much of the leftover ingredients from the week's shop.

A classic Hong Kong dish that can so easily be made at home. The home version doesn't have to be fancy like the shop-bought ones, so you can leave out the red food colouring and honey glaze. You'll have a tasty family meal ready in no time with minimal effort.

This Chinese style tomato and pork udon is a favourite of mine, it is so easy make and I love the way the tangy tomato sauce clings onto the noodle. I've shared the recipe before with a different addition of vegetables, but for the completeness of this blog series "Chinese Food on a Budget: Feed a Family of 4 for £30 a week" here is the 5th recipe.

Confinement Recipes for Week 4-6

From week 3 for natural births or from week 4 for caesareans onwards, you're able to enjoy a bit more variety and your digestive system is better at taking a little more salt if you like salty food like me.

Confinement Recipes for Week 1-3

For the first few weeks right after giving birth, confinement food is very basic and focuses on food that is easy to digest and avoids a lot of food and condiments that is believed to affect healing of the wounds. If it's a natural birth, follow this for 2 weeks and for caesareans follow for 3 weeks. They generally follow these rules.

Pig trotters in black vinegar and ginger is the ultimate dish of confinement. A huge pot is usually made by the mother or the mother in law of the birthing mum and is given away to friends, families and neighbours alike as a celebratory food for announcing the arrival the new baby.

When I visited Taiwan in 2015, I had a gastronomical time eating through all the local foods on offer. Taiwan is a city full of phenomenal food and one of my favourite food memories are all the 'stir-fry' restaurants available. Simple put, every dish on offer can be stir fried and usually served with steaming rice and a side of soup.

Lockdown has got me attempting to making all sorts of food I normally don't have time or effort for, and the results have been hugely satisfying each time. If you ask me what's the one thing I miss eating during lockdown, my answer is without a doubt, dim sum and sushi.

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.

I've had this blog post sitting in my drafts since 2013 (yes, 2013 dammit!) so you may notice the difference in worktop counter and photography style compared to my usual recipe posts, haha! I still want to share it though as this is a really good recipe and one that I make at home quite regularly.

This Chinese tomato pork mince with veg on udon was cooked by G. Not me, but G.

G rarely cooks and on the occasions that he does, it's usually because I'm away from home and he has to fend for himself. It's not like he can't cook though because he's made decent meals before, like an impressive cheat's katsu curry (using ready made breadcrumbed turkey and Japanese curry blocks) and a less impressive pasta with pesto, tuna and broccoli.

The wind down from Summer and transition into Autumn always makes me a little sad and I can't say I'm thrilled when September comes round. And with that mood, I've taken the liberty of couch-potatoing it with Netflix for the past few weeks.

To-ban chilli bean paste is one of those flavours that once you've tried it, you won't forget it. It's used in many popular Chinese dishes such as ma po tofu, four season fried beans, and Szechuan double cooked pork.

There are many, many styles of Chinese style braised pork and all are so delicious in their own right. Pork has to be the most consumed meat for the Chinese and generally in South East Asia. From the Hakka style pork belly dishes made with preserved vegetables and pastes, to Taiwanese braised pork, each and every one of these have me reaching out for an extra bowl of rice.
