It is worth your while to stock up on our Chinese food ingredients since they will appear in countless recipes.
At Fine Food Specialist, we choose products that we know are being used in the most high-end Chinese restaurants.
CHINESE DUMPLINGS (JIAOZI)
We have an extensive selection of dumplings in our Chinese category such as our handmade Prawn Dumplings, also known as Hat Gau. In addition, we have Prawn and Chive dumplings, and Siu Mai Pork & Prawn fried dumplings. For a real at-home Chinese experience, stock up on Gyoza dumpling sauce. For the most advanced cooks, you can also get frozen Dumpling wrappers and Venison mince to make your own Jiaozi (Chinese dumplings) with this Venison and Shiitake Dumplings recipe from Drogo's Kitchen.
CHINESE STIR FRY
Perhaps the most well-known type of Asian food, stir-fry is a staple of Chinese cooking. Similar to the sautéed method but in a wok, stir-frying has been used as early as the Han Dynasty in early 200 A.D. It's a fast and fresh way to cook.
If you fancy stir-fry vegetables, Simply toss and turn bite-sized pieces of Chinese vegetables like Bok Choi or Mooli in a dash of hot oil in a wok over high heat, and in five minutes or less, the work is done. Vegetables emerge crisp and bright. For a meat version, stock up on some of our premium Wagyu beef. The meat will come out juicy, tender, and well seared. To top it up, you can also add some Chinese noodles.
CHINESE DUCK
Looking for some ready-to-eat Chinese food? We got you covered with our roasted aromatic ducks. We offer a boneless and a bone-in version. They are the delicious answer to your duck pancake cravings!
CHINESE PORK
Our Chinese BBQ roast pork is similar to the delicious Char Siu pork you will find in most Asian restaurants. Char Siu is a Cantonese style of barbecued pork. It is eaten with rice or used as an ingredient for noodle dishes or stir-fries, or as a filling for Cha Siu Bau.
We pride ourselves on offering an extensive Chinese selection here at Fine Food Specialist. This includes our Dim Sum collection to crisp Nashi pears, as well as our fine Chinese tea flowers.
