Singapore-inspired spices
The subtle flavours found in South East Asian cookery - namely dishes from Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Korea and Cambodia - tends to be very simple but very hot! Here are some of our favourite South East Asian Recipes with pork …
Wetha See Byan is a richly flavoured but incredibly easy dry pork curry, one where you’ll discover you already have all the ingredients! Well, if you keep some lemongrass and lime leaves in the freezer as we do!
This Malaysian pork recipe is rich but simple. You won’t be hunting around for unusual ingredients! But sometimes it doesn’t take a lot to create something really delicious just because you have prepared and cooked it in a slightly different way. So grab yourself some tofu (and pork!) and get cooking!
This delicious recipe is very easy to prepare and cook. Add a few chillies if you fancy a bit more bite. Serve with a tangy sambal or sweet chilli sauce.
As a change from chicken satay, why not try our idea for a pork burger topped with peanut sauce and some cucumber? You use the same spices, but with completely different results!
Doi Nei is a recipe from the North India/Thai/Burmese region. Its list of ingredients is very small, but the flavour is delicious. We used a tin of salted black beans widely available in Asian supermarkets - soy beans, not the small turtle beans associated with Mexican and other cuisines…
This Cambodian stir fry is a very simple dish, to which the beansprouts (one of our favourite ingredients) add a lovely subtle flavour. Chinese leeks would normally be used, but we have gone for the much easier to source options of a green pepper and spring onions.
Use our Satay blend to make delicious Singapore-style satay from pork mince. This type of food was very popular with the Nonya (Straits Chinese) population. Simply add fish sauce, soy sauce and lime juice for an alternative barbecue feast.
Tinoransak is a hot and fragrant Indonesian dish from Sulawesi. It is very simple, using the flavours of green chillies, lemongrass and lime leaves. If you can’t find Thai basil, then use the usual type…
Korean pork and cabbage parcels are a light and delicious meal. Serve as a light lunch or as part of a feast!
This Thai Pork Mince with Pineapple recipe is so simple you will not believe how delicious it is! Serve it hot with rice, or cold wrapped in lettuce.
This is one of those recipes which can provide endless variations - swap the meat, vegetables or even serve with rice rather than noodles!
This fresh and easy stir fry uses bamboo shoots. If you can track down large chunks in a tin (online or from an Asian supermarket), then these have the best texture, but if you only have the thinly sliced variety these will work almost as well and taste just as good!
This Thai recipe seems (and is!) very simple, with all the subtle flavours coming through. Slice the pork as thinly as possible to ensure a fast ccoking time - it should take less time than the rice!
We have used our Malay Kuantan Dipping Chicken blend, and the sauce is delicious drizzled over plain rice and a simple salad
We have used our Rendang blend to create this Thai curry. As the spice blend is not very hot, we have added fresh and dried chillies to give it a bite. Do not be put off by the pineapple…
This delicious curry uses our Indonesian Korma curry, with flavours of fennel, star anise and cloves. This Singapore version uses pork as an unusual alternative, with as many chillies as you want!
This simple dish is full of flavour and, if you don’t add any fresh chillies, a real winner for everyone! Wrap the pork and rice in a lettuce leaf and eat with your hands!
This is an easy, family-friendly (and messy!) rib recipe. They can be baked in the oven…
We have used our Malay Kuantan dipping chicken spices to make a delicious pork burger: quite spicy…
This is a classic dish found throughout South East Asia, but this version has a distinctive Thai flavour, and the combination of pork and prawns is delicious…
This is a fantastically easy recipe. Just marinade the ribs and bake slowly till the meat is falling away from the bones…
A delicious and spicy noodle dish. We recommend using our Goan Red spice blend…
Korean Pork with aubergine is a delicious recipe which uses lots of South East Asian store cupboard staples.
A Jungle curry is a Thai dish which traditionally would be made from foraged ingredients. This actually covers a very wide range of items, from river fish and wild boar to bamboo shoots and lotus shoots, but the main criteria for the curry is that it must be very hot! We have used our Indonesian Padang blend…
