I am a huge fan of San Choy Bow, it’s one of those dishes you can pop in the middle of the table and everyone can help themselves. It’s a particularly good dinner idea for kids too as they love to eat food with their hands.
If you have fussy eaters you can deconstruct it and everyone can make their own but it does look impressive in the middle of the table if you make a big board of it.
If pork isn’t your thing swap it out for chicken or tofu.
