Coriander is the leafy green herb called cilantro in the US, with a bright, citrusy flavour that some people find soapy. It finishes dishes across our recipes, from Easy Shakshuka and Chicken Congee (Jook) to Instant Chicken Curry and Steamed Tofu with Preserved Radish. Chop the stems too, since they hold plenty of flavour, and add the leaves at the end.

Coriander is fragile and loses its fragrance when it is bruised, so a sharp knife and a light touch matter more than speed.
