    Asian Pantry Meals

    Too lazy to make a grocery run but don't have much in the fridge? Here are some of my favourite quick and easy recipes made with common Asian pantry ingredients.

    This scallion pancake, for example, is a sure way to impress guests but only requires 3 pantry ingredients (and spring onions, of course!) It's pretty filling, but if you need more, pair it with this iced lychee drink then follow it with this fibre-rich, agar agar jelly which is perfect in summer.

    Greedygirlgourmet eating 2 sandwiches in Scotland

    Hi I'm Zhen also known as GGG! I couldn't boil water till I was 18! However, I love creating community and nurturing people, so when I lived abroad (in St. Andrews then London) for 11 years, I started hosting regular parties for friends, and that's how I started cooking and helping out in professional kitchens. (Couldn't cook before that!) I even organised a supper club for charity (which strangers came to!) Learning to cook late, I make sure my recipes go into enough detail for those new to Asian cuisine or who love a test kitchen approach to cooking!
