Steak and sweet potato salad
A great steak can be the perfect centrepiece to a delicious and healthy meal, but serving a choice cut of meat with rich sauces and greasy chips can easily push you into dangerous territory. If you just can't have steak without potatoes, skip the oily fries and butter-laden jacket potatoes and try this warm sweet potato salad instead.

Helen Goh's jian dui (crispy sesame balls)
Offered all year round on yum cha trolleys as a dessert, these gorgeously crisp and chewy sesame balls really come into their own during Chinese New Year, when their golden spheres represent luck and unity. The way the dough slowly expands in the hot oil as it cooks is considered a metaphor for growth and prosperity. A word of caution on that last point: the balls need to enlarge gradually on an evenly low heat otherwise there's a danger they might burst. Gong Xi Fa Cai!

Loaded sweet potato fries with green tahini, harissa and zaatar salt
I am a lazy prep cook so if there is an opportunity to skip out on peeling, trimming etc, I am in. These sweet spuds are the perfect example. Give them a quick scrub and roast, skin-on. My impatience aside, the skin adds texture and background earthy goodness. It also helps the chips to hold their shape and prevents them from turning soggy.
