Marry Me Chicken Ramen, which might just make someone want to pop the question...

plus white ragu (bye bye classic ragu) and some more tasty recipes

Hallooooo, happy Friday my little butterbeans!! I hope you have some lovely plans for the weekend, or if you don’t, then fantastic…time to snuggle up, get those fluffy socks on aaaand relax. And maybe, just maybe, cook some comforting recipes (ahem, my marry me chicken ramen or 30-minute white ragu are both low effort but so tasty) to keep you warm and your belly happy.

I’ve got a variety of recipes for you this week! We’ve got noodles, pasta, dumplings, and sushi!

I did a poll on Instagram asking whether you guys preferred homemade sushi or restaurant sushi last week and a whopping 35% of you said you make it from scratch which I was so chuffed about. I feel like people are scared to make it at home, but honestly, it’s SO simple and genuinely saves you an arm and a leg in the money department. My fail-proof sushi tacos are fantastic, and as it says in the title, fail-proof. I’ve been making sushi for over a decade (my Dad taught me), and after many failed attempts, I’ve now nailed it, and this sushi taco recipe doesn’t require a bamboo roller, so it’s super simple to make!

Okay, onto the weekly recipes!

RECIPE ROUNDUP

MARRY ME CHICKEN RAMEN - This is my Marry Me Chicken Ramen and you are going to want to give this a go because it’s the ultimate comfort food! It’s all cooked in one pan, so there’s minimal washing up, and it might just make someone want to marry you because it is so incredibly delicious. 

CRISPY SKIRT DUMPLINGS - These are the best Crispy Skirt Dumplings. They’re crunchy on the outside and full of flavour on the inside. The filling is a combination of chicken mince, chives, hoisin sauce, and garlic. Honestly, they are the juiciest dumplings I’ve ever made, I could eat these for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, every day.

EASY WHITE RAGU (30 MINUTES) - This Easy White Ragu recipe takes around 30 minutes to make and is absolutely delicious. The ground pork mince adds a lovely richness and umami flavour along with the soffritto which is then simmered in stock and cream seasoned with thyme and rosemary. It's full of flavour and one of my favourite weeknight meals to serve up with tagliatelle.

FAIL-PROOF SUSHI TACOS - These super simple and easy Sushi Tacos are fail-proof. Nori sheets topped with perfectly cooked sushi rice, marinated salmon, avocado, and sriracha mayonnaise, this taco sushi recipe is a great one for a weeknight meal or when you're craving sushi!

OPEN-ENDED CHIPOTLE PORK DUMPLINGS - These are my Open-Ended Chipotle Pork & Aubergine Dumplings on a bed of chipotle tomato stew and topped with a guacamole-style dip. They're honestly so delicious and are super easy to fold and pleat. The flavours are unreal!

That’s it for this week folks! I hope you have a wonderful weekend and as always, let me know if you give any of my recipes a go! Thank you for the ongoing support <3

See you next week!!
