This tea-smoked salmon is the kind of dish that’s just begging for an occasion to show off. Cooked in this way, the salmon takes on a caramelised burnt sugar flavour that’s then enhanced by the sweet honey glaze. I’ve served this with simple sides like roast potatoes and a green salad. Alternatively, I’ve loaded the table with tortillas, fresh salsa, shredded lettuce and hot sauces and called it a ‘taco party’. Or you could serve it as part of an Asian-style banquet menu.

This is just one of the unexpected yet delightful recipes to be found in my latest cookbook, The Essential Wok Companion, available now to pre-order.

Make it the most delicious Lunar New Year yet

The dishes to encourage prosperity, health, wealth and happiness this Lunar New Year.

PRINT THIS

With feasting a big part of the lunar new year celebrations, you’re going to want some seriously delicious Asian recipes up your sleeve. I love how many ingredients and dishes have symbolic meanings, with specific foods eaten to bring luck, wealth and prosperity. Here are some of my recipes for how to celebrate the year of the rabbit… 

Lunar New Year recipes

Ring in the Year of the Rabbit at home with these much-loved dishes.

Spring rolls

Spring rolls are packed with cultural meaning. Not only is the golden colour of those deep-fried wrappers meant to represent the colour of gold, but the shape of the rolls represent gold bars themselves! If you’re wanting to encourage wealth this Lunar New Year, you’ll want to rustle up a batch.

Mini Prawn Spring Rolls

Juicy, crunchy and so good dipped into a chilli sauce. Get ready to roll, people!

San Choy Bow Spring Rolls

The combo of your favourite san choy bow filling in crisp-fried spring roll wrappers? Worth celebrating.

Hoisin Duck Spring Rolls

Using ready-cooked roast duck and frozen spring roll wrappers to make these quick and easy party pleasers. Serve with a dipping sauce such as sweet chilli sauce or sweet and sour chilli coriander sauce, or eat them on their own.

Longevity noodles

For Lunar New Year, it’s all about loooooong noodles, or longevity noodles. They are meant to represent a long life and are typically served fried or boiled, together with lots of meat and vegetables. I might not have recipes for longevity noodles as such, but I DO have some pretty epic noodle recipes regardless. Give these a whirl… and ALWAYS serve them uncut! 

Spicy Prawn Chow Mein

This stir-fried noodle dish might look deceptively simple, but with a few tips and tricks up your sleeve, it really gets elevated to new heights. Prawns (which represent laughter and happiness, since the Cantonese word for prawns sounds like ‘ha’), bouncy noodles and a delicate hum of spice make this dish a delicious Chinese New Year recipe.

Spicy Sichuan Pepper Chicken Noodles

Sichuan peppercorns are the star of the show when it comes to this easy weeknight stir-fry. They bring high citrusy notes and an almost numbing sensation, but it has to be tried to be believed. Cook this one up and you won’t regret it!

Spicy Pork Hand Pulled Noodles

Now you guys know how much I love noodles, and this one is an absolute favourite.  Ready in under 30 minutes, this spicy pork dish pairs perfectly with my homemade hand-pulled noodles, and equally as well with pasta or udon noodles if that’s what you have to hand. 

Fish

Fish symbolises prosperity, abundance and luxury, and is a very traditional Lunar New Year food in many countries. It’s most often served whole: the head and tail represent a good beginning for the new year, and a good ending to the last.

Crispy Fish with Sweet & Sour Sauce

If you’re looking for a showstopper dish, this whole fried fish will do you proud – and it’s not as scary as it looks! Boasting crispy skin, tender flesh and a tangy sweet and sour sauce, it will earn you serious kudos in the kitchen. I like to use a white fish, like snapper or seabass.

Barbecued Fish

Time to put an Aussie spin on your Lunar New Year recipes! Grilling a whole fish on your barbecue might seem intimidating, but I’m here to show you it’s actually really straightforward – and really impressive, too!

Sichuan Spicy Fish

OK, so it’s not a WHOLE fish… but the flavour is totally amazing! This is one fish dish that makes you sit up and take note. It’s spicy, tingly and absolutely full of gusto. Definitely one for fans of heat.

Dumplings

Dumplings represent money, especially if they’re purse-shaped. Try these delicious recipes for to mark Lunar New Year.

Northern Chinese Beef Dumplings

It’s no secret I’m a huge dumpling fan, and these beefy parcels of heaven are a pure flavour sensation. I love the hum of the Sichuan pepper in the background, and with a chilli oil kick on top? Epic! If you have time, try making homemade dumpling wrappers – they really do make all the difference come folding time.

Prawn & Chive Potstickers

The perfect ratio of chewy wrapper, crispy base and a sweet prawn, water chestnut and garlic chive filling. 

Prawn Dumplings in Red Oil

Sometimes the simple things are the best… like these prawn dumplings, which are classic, elegant and oh-so epic! Speaking of epic, the spicy red oil I’ve paired them with is unbelievably good. 

Whole chicken

Having a whole chicken for your Lunar New Year banquet symbolises reunion of the family and togetherness. So try these chicken recipes and get celebrating!

Roast Chicken & Treasure Rice Stuffing

This awesome stuffing can be used for chicken or turkey and is gluten-free. The ‘treasures’ in the stuffing include lap cheong sausage and dried shiitake mushrooms for delicious umami flavour.

Salt & Pepper Roast Chicken

Get a 10/10 roast chicken – I’m talking golden, crispy skin and soft, succulent meat – EVERY TIME with my totally foolproof technique. Thank me later!

Soy Sauce Roast Chicken

Super-simple ingredients take the humble roast chicken to new heights. An absolute standout for your next family sitdown.
