Adam Liaw's Korean green salad

I will always be a cheerleader for green salads. They're great for balancing dishes, acting as a palate cleanser and an extra serve of vegetables. Mix up the dressings and they're also very versatile.

Korean noodles with spicy broth

This is a dish that I often crave, especially late at night and sometimes even for breakfast. Ramyeon are the Korean equivalent of Japanese instant ramen noodles. They come in an array of flavours, but I'm just interested in the noodles. Some decent stock, with a good spiking of fermented soybean paste and Korean chilli flakes and paste, is a good base. To this I just add some crunchy beansprouts, a soft egg, kimchi, stir-fried beef, spring onion, sesame and crispy shallots.

Korean-style fried chicken

This is my version of a Korean classic. Succulent fried chicken with crunchy golden batter coated in sticky, sweet and salty chilli sauce. Delicious. This is perfect for entertaining; just remember to buy extra serviettes! Gochujang sauce adds a sweet and salty dimension and a creeping chilli warmth to the chicken but if you're a chilli fiend and want some front-palate heat, sprinkle over some chopped bullet chilli just before serving. You'll need a deep fryer or a large, wide-based pot for this recipe.
