Secrets to the Perfect Salt & Pepper Dish

How to use our Signature Seasonings at home.

The “Salt & Pepper” flavor is a Liverpool legend. Whether you prefer our Original, Chilli, Roasted Garlic, or Chinese Spice seasoning, achieving that restaurant-quality finish is easier than you think.

Top Tips for Success:

  • The Protein: While chicken breast is the classic choice, our seasonings are 100% Vegan, making them perfect for tofu, ribs, or king prawns.

  • The Crunch: For the best texture, coat your protein in a beaten egg and then a light layer of cornflour before frying.

  • The Veg: To truly recreate the takeaway experience, stir-fry chopped spring onions and peppers in a hot wok for about 5 minutes before adding your protein.

  • The Heat: If you want an authentic kick, add a splash of Shao Sing wine or dry sherry during the final stages of stir-frying.

  • The Finish: Always toss in your Golden Dragon seasoning at the very end of cooking. Stir-fry for a further 4 minutes to allow the spices to toast and become aromatic without burning.

     

Which Seasoning Should You Choose?

Every kitchen needs a signature style. Here is how to pick your perfect match:

  1. Original: The classic Liverpool blend with citrusy orange peel and aromatic star anise.

  2. Chilli: For those who crave an extra punch of heat alongside traditional spices.

  3. Roasted Garlic: A savoury, deep flavour featuring real roasted garlic granules—perfect for garlic lovers.

  4. Chinese Spice: Features Szechuan Pepper for a traditional “numbing” heat and complex aromatic profile.
