Quick & Easy Recipes

Fast, flavourful Chinese dishes anyone can make.

Hi everyone, Michael here! 👋
If you’ve ever wanted to make proper Chinese food at home but thought it would take ages or need special equipment, this is the page for you.

Here you’ll find my Quick & Easy Recipes, fast, delicious dishes that anyone can cook. No complicated techniques, no fancy ingredients, and definitely no stress. Just simple, authentic Chinese food that fits into everyday life.

Real flavour, real speed

People often think Chinese cooking is time-consuming, but most of the dishes I grew up with can be made in under 20 minutes. It’s all about good prep, a hot wok, and a few key sauces that do the heavy lifting.

Here, I’ll show you how to make meals that are:

• Quick to cook – perfect for busy weeknights or lazy weekends.
• Packed with flavour – spicy, garlicky, savoury, and full of depth.
• Authentic – using the same ingredients and techniques you’d find in Chinese family kitchens.

You’ll see exactly how to balance heat, sweetness, and texture, and how small details like timing, oil temperature, and order of ingredients make all the difference.

Cooking doesn’t have to be complicated

You don’t need a restaurant kitchen to make great food. I’ll show you how to get incredible flavour with just a few everyday ingredients, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and a good wok are often all you need.

Whether you’re cooking for yourself, your family, or just fancy a quick homemade takeaway, these videos will help you whip up something delicious in no time.

And remember, cooking should be fun! Don’t worry if your noodles stick or your egg breaks the first time. Every meal is a chance to get better (and eat well while doing it).

So grab your wok, turn up the heat, and let’s make something fast and tasty together.
