Somerset Foodie Dan Dan Noodle Recipe

Dan Dan Noodles

These addictively savoury noodles, laced with fiery chilli oil and fragrant, mouth-numbing Sichuan peppercorns do require a reasonably well stocked Chinese larder, but are relatively straight forward to make and will quite possibly become a regular on your weekly menu.
Recipe for Sweet Miso Grilled Aubergine

Sweet Miso Grilled Aubergine

This simple vegan recipe packs so much flavour - you'll never want to cook aubergines any other way. This is a classic Japanese dish known as Nasu Dengaku and it's incredibly easy to make. Serve this with some sticky Japanese rice, spring onions, a few pickles and a sprinkling of Japanese seven spice...

Vegan Spicy Peanut Butter Ramen

Vegan Spicy Peanut Butter Ramen

This is a real store cupboard classic. It really tastes great and is well worth trying - particularly if you're a peanut butter lover. The broth takes a little time, but it's easily possible to bring this together in around one hour.
One Hour Pork Ramen

One Hour Pork Ramen

This recipe is incredibly delicious and takes less than an hour to bring together. It's got everything a good ramen should have - umami broth, great noodles and toppings with a variety of textures....it's so good, you will feel like you are eating out.

Thai Beef Noodle Salad

Thai Beef Noodle Salad

I absolutely adore this salad, it's vibrant, fresh and combines all the bold flavours of Thai cuisine. The tasty seared beef elevates this dish to a main course balanced by light noodles, crunchy vegetables, fragrant herbs and umami rich dressing.
Traditional Malaysian Laksa

Traditional Malaysian Laksa

This authentic Malaysian Laksa is such an iconic dish - a rich, fragrant broth with lots of spice, noodles and deeply satisfying flavours. Whilst there are lots of regional variations, the base generally uses plenty of garlic, ginger, galangal, lemongrass, chilli and dried shrimps (belacan), this latter gives the soup that distinct and intense prawn undertone.
Cheeseburger - Shedletsky Style

Cheeseburger - Shedletsky Style

Making a good burger is a real craft. I have to say this as I wrote the recipe, but this burger was AWESOME  - everything that a great burger should be and with very little fuss. There are three things that you have to get right for your burger to taste sublime.

Jimmy's Satay Cheeseburger

Jimmy's Satay Cheeseburger

Come on foodies... UP YOUR BURGER GAME! Our great friend Ping Coombes gave me this awesome burger recipe which incorporates our fabulous Jimmy's Satay sauce. The secret lies in good quality beef... 

Shawarma Chicken with Tahini Sauce

Shawarma Chicken with Tahini Sauce

Shawarma is up there as one of my favourites, it's so tasty and the hands down winner over the Turkish Doner or the Greek Gyros. Although it's traditionally cooked on a large skewer, rotisserie style, it's easily possible to recreate this fantastic street food classic at home.
Chorizo sausage cooked in cider

Chorizo sausage cooked in cider

Not everyone knows that Spain has a huge cider-drinking culture, but in the Northern region of Asturias there are plenty of apple orchards and sidra is a really popular drink. In the bars of Asturias, the waiters pour cider with a flourish - holding the cider bottle with one hand, a couple of feet above their heads, and pouring it into special glasses that are held below their waists with the other hand. This takes a fair bit of practice and unless you're happy to mop the floor up afterwards, not recommended to try at home!
Somerset Foodie Recipe for Seafood Paella

Spanish Seafood Paella

The beauty of making a paella - NO STIRRING! Get it on and go and do something else, the results are stunning. There are so many variations of this Catalan classic and (just like a risotto) there are so many different ingredients that you can use. When by the coast, fish and shellfish rule, the further inland, chicken, rabbit, sausage are the key. To make a good paella, there are a few things that you need to get right, the rest will take care of itself.

Simple Shrimp Tacos - Tacos de Camaron

Simple Shrimp Tacos - Tacos de Camaron

This taco recipe is just about the quickest and simplest way to enjoy super tasty, authentic tasting Mexican tacos. Everything comes together in less than 20 minutes. Shrimp tacos or Tacos de Camaron as they are called in Mexico, require very little preparation

Egg Fettuccine with Mussels and Saffron

Egg Fettuccine with Mussels and Saffron

Eating seafood with pasta always makes me think I'm on holiday, it's a fantastic combination particularly with this delicious egg fettuccine. It's really worth trading up for dried egg pasta... compared to Durum wheat pasta, dried egg pasta has a much richer flavour with a lovely silky texture.
Crispy Miso Marinated Shiitake Bao Bun

Crispy Miso Marinated Shiitake Bao Bun

The flavours going on in this bao bun are extraordinary. It has everything that a good bao bun should have - a deeply savoury, umami rich centrepiece, sharp pickles for good contrast, a creamy hot mayo, salty sweet roasted peanuts and fragrant herbs all wrapped up in a soft, fluffy warm bun.....I could live on these!
Somerset Foodie Bucatini alla Amatriciana Recipe

Bucatini all'Amatriciana

Providing a recipe for one of the classic Roman pasta dishes is always fraught with danger...a) because I don't come from Rome and b) I remember cooking for my wife's Great Aunt, who lived in Naples and was always quick to point out when I'd got something wrong! I love the simplicity of this dish and I want to share it, so here goes...

Japanese Gyudon - Beef Rice Bowl

Japanese Gyudon - Beef Rice Bowl

The essence of the dish is extremely thinly sliced strips of beef that are simmered in a flavourful broth, served over rice and topped with pickled ginger, spring onions, shichimi togarashi and often a soft cooked egg. It's utterly delicious and super simple to make.The bonus is that once sliced, a single 8oz steak is enough for two people.
