South East Asian Recipes
South East Asian cuisine may be more familiar to you as stir fries and other light and fragrant dishes which do not contain many spices. Here are our favourites.

Our Christmas spice blend is very versatile and doesn’t have to be used for Boxing Day leftovers! Try making turkey mince (or any other mince) meatballs, and yes, the recipe includes cranberries!
Try this delicious stuffing with your turkey: a spicy mix of sausage meat, chestnuts and cranberries. You can either make balls, as in our photo, or stuff the turkey with it. And the leftovers are gorgeous hot or cold or added to bubble and squeak!
This Christmas curry is a real crowd-pleaser, using up not only cranberry sauce (or redcurrant jelly) but also cream or yoghurt. Reminiscent of a tikka masala, you can still chuck in your leftover sprouts but you can also pep it up with some chillies…
September is the perfect time of year for fresh tomatillos. If you can’t track them down locally or online, then try growing them yourself in a sunny spot or greenhouse - they are very easy! This salad is fresh, healthy and filling, especially with the warm swet potato on top!
Burritos are a fantastic way to use up leftovers! We particularly like them with rice, although refried beans are a popular option. Add some cheese, jalapenos and some salsa for a delicious lunch or supper! Try this simple recipe with some leftover shredded chicken or baked sweet potato.
Peppers can be stuffed with anything really, so our Mexican Stuffed Peppers are great with rice, chicken, sweet potatoes, black beans, chilli con carne… The secret is to add a layer of cheese!
Perfect as a light lunch with crusty bread to soak up the juices, or as a side dish for a barbecue, these baked or grilled peppers use our peri peri blend to great effect!
This Chinese noodle recipe is similar to something you will find all over south east Asia. If you already have xo sauce and red soy paste the you’ve probably already got your own recipe for this, but if not, they are widely available…
This recipe with chicken and kidney beans is another form of chilli con carne - but more Mexican and less American! Serve with sour cream, rice and guacamole, and use leftovers with cheese to fill a quesadilla!
Pork shoulders are wonderful on the barbecue. They are good value and meaty, but with enough fat to keep the meat moist - and you end up with tasty, crispy yet tender steaks! Try some of our spices as a marinade and you’ll be impressed with the flavours.
This Mexican chipotle sauce is a great way to cook chicken. The sauce is delicious with rice, or mopped up with tortillas. Serve leftovers with rice and cheese in a wrap like a burrito!
We know that lots of you prefer coconutty curry so here’s one you can cook for Christmas using our seasonal blend. We had to add some chilli flakes to ours as it really was too mild for us! If you’ve got some ‘secret sauce’ in the freezer this couldn’t be easier…
