PEKING CHICKEN WRAPS

Steps:

• Cook rice according to package directions; set aside.
• Meanwhile, in medium nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add green onions; cook and stir 1 minute or until wilted. Stir green onions into cooked rice.
• Fill 2-quart saucepan half full of water; heat to boiling. Add snow peas and cook 30 seconds. Drain and rinse with cold water until cool. Pat dry and cut lengthwise into thin strips. In medium bowl, stir together snow peas, cabbage, carrot, rice vinegar and gingerroot.
• To assemble wraps, lay tortillas on work surface. Spread each with 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce. Place one-sixth of the chicken in a strip along the bottom of each tortilla, 1 inch from edge. Divide rice and vegetable mixtures evenly over chicken. Fold over bottom edge of each tortilla to cover filling. Fold sides in and continue to roll up tightly, burrito style. Cut each in half crosswise with a serrated knife to serve.

HOISIN WRAPS

Steps:

• Heat the grill to high. Mix the turkey or chicken with half of the hoisin sauce so that it's coated, then spread out onto an ovenproof dish and grill until sizzling. Warm the tortillas under the grill or according to pack instructions.
• Spread the tortillas with the rest of the hoisin sauce, then use to wrap up the turkey or chicken with the cucumber, onions and watercress. Cut in half and enjoy while still warm.

PEKING CHICKEN OR PORK WRAP

Steps:

• Mix hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, grated gingerroot, minced garlic and chili paste in a medium bowl.
• Reserve 1 cup hoisin sauce mixture; set aside.
• Cut chicken or pork into thin slices.
• Add chicken or pork to the remaining sauce mixture in bowl, and stir well.
• Cover and marinate in the refrigerator up to 8 hours and at least 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
• Remove chicken or pork from bowl; discard marinade.
• Coat a large nonstick skillet with some olive oil and place over medium heat until hot.
• Add half of the chicken or pork, being careful not to crowd pan so chicken or pork doesn't stew but actually sears and cook 5 minutes or until done.
• Remove chicken or pork from skillet, and set aside.
• Repeat with remaining chicken or pork (you may need to wash up your pan between searing).
• Warm tortillas according to package directions.
• Spread 2 tablespoons of reserved hoisin sauce mixture down the center of each tortilla.
• Arrange 1/8 of chicken or pork slices and 2 tablespoons green onion slices down the center of each tortilla.
• Roll up and enjoy!

PEKING-STYLE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Pare the zest from the orange in thick strips then mix with the soy sauce, sherry and fivespice powder in a large food bag. Bash the garlic cloves and ginger with the back of a knife to bruise them, then add to the bag and give everything a good mix. Put the chicken in the bag, rub the marinade all over the flesh then leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 3 hrs, overnight ideally.
• Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Remove the chicken from the marinade (keep it for later). Halve the orange and put both halves inside the cavity along with the bashed ginger and garlic from the marinade. With the chicken sitting on a rack in the sink, pour a kettleful of boiling water over it. Pat completely dry with kitchen paper. Set the chicken on its wire rack over a roasting tray and roast for 50 mins per kg or until the juices run clear when the thigh is pierced with a skewer.
• Strain the marinade into a pan along with the honey. Bring up to the boil then simmer for a couple of mins. Just before serving, turn the oven up as high as it will go. Brush some of the marinade all over the chicken. Return to the oven and cook until the chicken is crisp and browned. This will only take a couple of mins. Leave to rest, uncovered, for 5 mins. Serve with the remaining warmed marinade, some plain rice and bok choi or spinach stirfried with a little garlic and oyster sauce.

CHICKEN WRAPS

Steps:

• Heat a dry griddle pan over a medium-high heat, and fry the aubergine rounds for 2 mins on each side until lightly coloured and char lines appear (you may need to do this in batches). Transfer to a bowl with the onions, then toss with the olive oil and vinegar.
• Combine the yogurt, tahini and garlic in a bowl with 1 tbsp water to loosen. Mix the cumin, coriander, paprika and some salt and pepper in a small bowl. Put the chicken on a board, cover with baking parchment and bash with a rolling pin to an even 1½cm thickness. Rub all over with the spice mix, leave for 10 mins, then fry in the oil for 12 mins, flipping after 8 mins. Transfer to a board, rest briefly, then slice.
• Warm the wraps in a dry frying pan, then fill with the tomatoes, aubergine and onion mix, avocado, chicken and tahini dressing.
