Did anyone catch this new series (Chinese Food Made Easy) on BBC2 last night?

Although the programme itself was pretty awful, the presenter Ching-He Huang is very attractive and passionate but somehow lacks charm and that special entertainer quality that can bring out the best in the guests on her show and generally the direction felt pillow handed, I will keep watching. What Ms Huang lacks in presenter skills she more than makes up for in cooking ones.

Her recipes look both delicious and simple, perfect for easy weekday suppers as they take only minutes to prepare (Honestly, she made a beef in oyster sauce with oyster mushrooms and spinach in 3 minutes, and whilst it will probably take me 15-20 that’s still a damn fast supper in my book).

As quick, tasty suppers are the holy grail of the urban foodie I will try out her recipes and post the best of them here. I’ll doubtless start with her (healthy) egg fried rice as it is a take-away favourite of Mr Foodie’s…

More to come soon.
