This is one of the easiest suppers to make, but somehow, however much I know this, it always surprises me. Not in the cooking, so much as in the eating: I can't believe, each time anew, how deep and textured and full-throttle, in a sweet, comforting way, this tastes, when all I've done is a bit of shopping and some light stirring. If you have some fresh prawns, so much the better, but I stipulate frozen ones below since I regularly keep them in the freezer. |

It may take time to get used to the idea of eating completely raw fish, but lightly blanched or seared fillet with salad is a good starting point. You can use other fish such as salmon. |

These are the classic sesame seed sweets - toffee with toasted sesame seeds similar to peanut brittle. The best way to make these is with a sugar thermometer to get the correct temperature (150°C). An alternative method is to have a bowl of cold water and as you heat the sugar, drop a little into the water and look for the brittle toffee stage. |

The Chinese are unanimous in their appreciation of Shark's fin soup, and this very nutritious soup is rightly considered to be one of the most exotic examples of Chinese cuisine. A fin of the best quality is, however, extremely expensive and takes four days to prepare. The fin used in this recipe is sold in packages consisting of the cartilage with some fin needles and is already processed and then dried again. On its own, shark's fin has little taste but when combined with other ingredients in a prime stock, makes the perfect soup. |

This pleasant Northern dish is served cold with a slightly tangy sauce, and because it can be prepared completely in advance it is very handy for entertaining. The fen-pi, literally meaning the skin of flour, must not be soggy if the dish is to be successful. |
