Tom Yum Goong (Hot and Sour Prawn Soup)
Sour, salty, hot and aromatic in that order. The prawn shells make the stock, which is why it tastes deeper than the twenty minutes it takes.
Thai Green Curry with Chicken
Coconut curry built the proper way — paste fried in cracked coconut cream until the oil separates, then everything else. That one step is the whole difference.
Thai Iced Tea (Cha Yen)
Strong spiced black tea, sweetened while hot and poured over ice with a float of evaporated milk. Sweet, orange and completely worth it.
Basque Burnt Cheesecake
No base, no water bath, no cracks to worry about — the scorched top is the point. Five ingredients and a very hot oven.
10-Minute Sesame Soba Noodles
Cold buckwheat noodles in a sesame and soy dressing with cucumber and spring onion. The fastest properly good thing you can make from a cupboard.
Crunchy Kale and Quinoa Salad with Tahini
Kale massaged until it softens, quinoa toasted before boiling, and a lemon tahini dressing thick enough to coat. Keeps for three days without wilting.
Lemon Herb Salmon with Crispy Chickpeas
Salmon roasted on a tray of chickpeas that crisp in the rendering fat, finished with a raw herb and lemon dressing. One tray, thirty minutes.
Beef Bulgogi Bibimbap Bowl
Marinated beef, a set of separately seasoned vegetables and a runny egg over rice, with gochujang sauce stirred through at the table.
Chipotle Black Bean Tacos with Lime Slaw
Smoky black beans crushed into a thick filling, piled into charred corn tortillas with a sharp cabbage slaw. Cheap, quick and genuinely filling.
Cacio e Pepe (Four Ingredients, No Cream)
Pasta, pecorino, black pepper and starchy water. The whole dish is a technique for turning cheese into sauce without it seizing into strings.
Japanese Chicken Katsu Curry
Panko-crusted chicken over rice with a thick, faintly sweet curry sauce built from scratch. The crust stays crisp because the sauce goes beside it, not over it.
Thai Basil Pork Rice Bowl (Pad Krapow) in 15 Minutes
The street-stall classic: minced pork seared hard, tossed with holy basil and chilli, and spooned over rice with a crispy fried egg. Faster than ordering it.
