3 | Heat a wok until very hot, add 2 teaspoons of oil and swirl to coat the pan. Add garlic and stir for 5 seconds or until fragrant, then add the mushrooms and stir until golden.

5 | ERIYAKI LAMB CHOPS: Make a marinade of honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger and garlic and marinate the lamb in the fridge overnight. Cook on a barbecue or char grill and sprinkle with sesame seeds to serve. |
Tips
1 | Make your own five spice mix with a blend of star anise, cinnamon, cloves, Szechuan pepper and fennel. |
2 | Try using forequarter chops, chump chops or cutlets if you can’t find loin chops. |
3 | To add new flavour dimensions to your favourite cuts, why not experiment with a dry rub? If you've never tried a dry rub before, start with store-bought herbs and spices. You can create your own signature flavour combinations as you become more confident! |
