    Main Dish Recipes

    If a recipe is going to be the star of the plate, it needs to have depth, personality, and bold flavour. In this collection of Main Dish Recipes, you'll find hearty dishes built to satisfy - whether you're weeknight cooking or aiming to impress.

    Try the dramatic Sichuan Poached Beef in Spicy Sauce, featuring tender slices of beef "velveted" for silkiness, layered over vegetables, and then drenched in a spicy, numbing broth that kicks with satisfying complexity. Or opt for the tasty Thai Basil Chicken (Pad Gra Pow Gai) - quick, fragrant, and bold, featuring garlic, chillies, and fresh Thai basil.

    From wok dishes to one-pan wonders, this is your space for mains that feel special but still accessible.
