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.
