Prawn wontons with spring onion, ginger and vinegar dressing recipe

Good quality wonton wrappers and super fresh Australian prawns, when boiled, transform into silky, mouth-watering, delectable, clean-tasting wontons. A version of this recipe, steamed prawn wontons with organic brown rice vinegar dressing, has been a staple on my Billy Kwong menu for the past 16 years, and at our large Kwong family gatherings.

Kylie Kwong's stir-fried Hokkien noodles with chicken, chilli and coriander

Apart from fried rice, this is the other dish my mother taught me to cook when I was about seven years old. All children love noodles and this is one of the many dishes you will find on my family table, especially during Chinese New Year celebrations – noodle dishes are symbolic during this festive period because the longer the noodle, the longer your life, apparently!

Paper-wrapped roasted ocean trout with black bean and ginger vinaigrette

This whole trout can be cooked in the morning, transported in the car and take pride of place on the table. A beautiful, refreshing and delicious dish.

Kingfish sashimi with tamari, ginger and chilli

There's always seafood at a Kwong Christmas, of course, because we're Cantonese and we love it. Everyone in my family especially loves sashimi, which really lends itself to the Australian summer.

Stir-fried potato and kale with ginger

This Chinese peasant-style recipe is a delicious way to enjoy the humble potato within a shared-style meal. I cut the potato into slivers for quick cooking and because I enjoy eating delicate, piping-hot slivers of potato with my chopsticks. Texture is everything to the Chinese so I like the potato to still have a slight crunch to it. Add fresh or dried red chillies plus a sprinkle of Sichuan pepper to give a bit of kick.
