"This is totally and utterly comfort food for Asians. Posted this recipe for Skipper/Sy. It is a total self-creation that has become a staple in my family. We actually have craving for this.

"This is an old "Canadian Living" Recipe that has become a family favourite. We all love it, and sometimes I increase the amount of curry paste, depending on who is coming for supper! I normally make it with a pot of rice and a salad. It's a nice "different" dish when you have company. Everyone seems to love it!"

Ingredients: cider vinegar, cornstarch...

"You can also do this delicious, spicy chicken dish with chicken pieces instead of a whole chicken. Another option is cooking on the bbq (it's terrific!). The chicken needs 1 day in the marinade for best flavour."

"This is based on an Australian Weight Watchers recipe. It's very healthy and low fat but tastes like it isn't! I often double the sauce and use it to cook up a 500g bag of defrosted frozen prawn meat. I also change up the veggies ... use whatever you have on hand. I like to throw in a handful of baby spinach right at the end. I have often thought..."

"I love these tender chicken pieces in fragrant coconut curry gravy. When served with hot coconut rice and fried anchovies, it's called Nasi Lemak. (Check out my recipe for the rice). I'd like to think this is lower in fat than those restaurant ones. Eat the leftover with crusty French bread. Yum..."

"Laksa is a Malaysian soup made from laksa flavour spicy curry, coconut cream, noodles, prawns/shrimp, chicken and lots of fresh toppings.

I had trouble finding fish balls..."

"This is from HeartSmart Chinese Cooking, by Steven Wong. Every single recipe in this book is delicious, and since I can't post them all, you should just buy it. The recipes are great because they taste authentically Asian, but are a lot lower in fat and salt than a lot of traditional recipes. Prep time includes marinating time. Can be served over..."

"A traditional Malay dish, Rendang is a specialized dry-ish curry that is made distinctive by adding dry-fried grated coconut towards the end of cooking time.

You may experiment with ostrich, lamb, veal or duck, and make it as spicy as you like by varying..."

"I used to enjoy having this by a local Malaysian chef who also doubled as a chef for a Japanese steakhouse. This is not quite like his, but close. He will not give up the recipe (no surprise there!) so I have had to work it out on my own."

"'Inche Kabin' is the inspiration for this oven roasted chicken. Inche Kabin, a favourite pre-marinated chicken dish among the Babas and Nonyas of Straits Settlements in old Malaya (now Malaysia), is traditionally double fried. This version would suit those who prefer not to deep-fry in their kitchens. (You may use pieces of a whole chicken if..."
