In a country where the traditional way to greet someone translates to 'have you eaten yet?', be rest assured, the food will be extraordinary. China has the most popular culinary heritage in the world. The history of their cuisine dates back to about 1000 years with varied cooking styles, techniques, and ingredients. Each Chinese food focuses on creating a balance between three aspects - appearance, aroma, and taste. They pay a lot of attention to the aesthetic appearance of the food with diversified colors. Sauces and seasonings like fish sauce, five-spice powder, oyster sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, root garlic, fresh ginger, and others are used generously to offer a complex play of flavor and aroma. There are few things more satisfying on a boring weekend than ordering Chinese takeout. But it's not that hard as you think, you can totally make it yourself! Reference our recipes, and take your first step!
Hakka-Style Asian Eggplant in Chinese Food,Asian eggplant is cooked twice in this flavorful eggplant recipe. First, the eggplant is deep-fried to seal in juices and then stir-fried in a flavorful sauce. The eggplants are double-cooked using a technique called oil-blanching. They’re quickly deep-fried so they’re crisp on the outside and moist inside. Then there stir-fried with bell pepper and seasonings and finished with a spicy chile-garlic sauce. It's delicious.

Loaded Veggie Chow Mein in Chinese Food,Your takeout fave, lightened up for Meatless Monday. Loaded with fresh vegetables and easy to make, this vegetable chow mein recipe is perfect for a healthy dinner or side dish. SO, this Vegan Chow Mein is amazing! That’s all you really need to know. It’s also SUPER easy to make. Traditional Chow Mein has a lot more oil in it than this recipe but I’m really trying to cut back on unnecessary oil consumption these days. But, feel free to add in a bit more if you so desire :)

Mongolian Meatball Ramen in Chinese Food,Tender Mongolian glazed meatballs are not only filled with an Asian flavor — they are smothered in the best homemade Mongolian sauce to wow your guests! Meatballs aren't just an Italian thing. Or at least they don't need to be. Our buffalo chicken, feta-stuffed, and Dr. Pepper more than prove this. So the idea of Mongolian meatballs shouldn't shock or scare you. You're pretty much guaranteed to like them considering how much you love Mongolian beef (the millions of Mongolian beef video views don't lie).
Mongolian Meatball Ramen
Chinese Chicken Noodle Soup in Chinese Food,This hearty, homemade Chinese Chicken Noodle Soup is loaded with flavorful seared chicken, savory noodles, bok choy, and a hard-boiled egg with a sprinkling of green onions. A kicked-up version of classic chicken noodle soup! It’s loaded with protein and the Asian flavors in this soup blend perfectly. My biggest tip when making this soup is to sear that chicken well. Getting a good sear on that chicken is the first step in the process, which happens over fairly high heat and works best if you don’t move the chicken around as it cooks, just let the chicken absorb the heat from the pan until it reaches a golden brown color. This process also leaves chicken sediments on the bottom of the pot, the very same pot we cook the soup in. It gives the broth insanely good flavor. Searing chicken and using the same pan for the rest of the meal is the best way to obtain ultimate flavor in tons of dishes, not just soup!
Chinese Chicken Noodle Soup
Kung Pao Shrimp in Chinese Food,Kung Pao Shrimp - easy and delicious Kung Pao shrimp recipe that takes 20 mins to make. This recipe is so much better and healthier than Chinese takeout. I love the delicious taste of Kung Pao sauce and fresh, bouncy and succulent shrimp. Today, I am going to teach you how to make Kung Pao Shrimp and the authentic recipe of this delicious dish. Kung Pao (sometimes spelled as Kung Pow) are Chinese recipes that are stir-fried and served with a spicy sauce. The most popular Kung Pao dishes are made with either chicken or shrimp. While I love Kung Pao Chicken, I prefer shrimp because shrimp is briny and tasty. The flavor combination of kung pao sauce and shrimp work like magic, so much as that some Chinese restaurants call this dish Kungfu Shrimp.
Kung Pao Shrimp
Fried Wonton Strips in Chinese Food,Fried Wonton Strips cook up deliciously crispy and they are a cinch to make. Only 2 ingredients needed: wonton or eggroll wrappers and oil. They taste just like the crunchy strips you are served at most Asian restaurants. There is nothing like the texture and crunch of wonton strips and they are so easy to make at home. They make a great snack or serve them with soup or salad. The only difference (I think) between wonton wrappers and egg rolls wrappers is the size, wonton wrappers being smaller. You should be able to find them in the refrigerated section or your grocery store, usually near the tofu. The wrappers are easy to cut into strips with a knife or a Pizza Wheel. You can cut them into any size strip you want. I like to cut the egg roll wrappers in half, stack a bunch, and cut them into strips about 1/2 to 3/4-inch wide.
Fried Wonton Strips
Firecracker Shrimp in Chinese Food,Firecracker Shrimp - appetizer featuring shrimp wrapped in spring roll wrapper and deep-fried. Super easy firecracker shrimp recipe that is sure to please. Firecracker Shrimp is an appetizer with shrimp wrapped in spring roll wrapper and deep-fried to golden perfection. Fried firecracker shrimp is a treat to the taste buds, making everyone wanting and crazing for more after the first bite. They are sure to knock your socks off as they are so delicious. To make firecracker shrimp, first, you marinate the shrimp with some ginger juice plus other seasonings. After marinating in the marinade, you then wrap the shrimp with spring roll skin and deep fry them to crispy perfection. Devour these firecracker shrimp as soon as they are hot off the frying pan and set your tongue on fire with dollops of spicy Sriracha chili sauce. Sit back, take a bite, and let the gingery and flavorful juice burst in your mouth!
Firecracker Shrimp
Easy Chinese Chicken Salad in Chinese Food,This easy Chinese chicken salad gets tossed with a bright, gingery dressing and topped with crunchy noodles. Makes a great make-ahead salad for a backyard party or a weekday lunch. I experimented with few different dressings and ultimately settled on this one, which I think is just the right balance of soy sauce, rice vinegar (or rice wine vinegar; they’re the same), ginger, garlic, and sesame oil. Whisk everything together, taste and adjust the seasonings to your liking, then toss with the salad. The dressing stored on its own will also keep for at least a week or longer.

Hot and Sour Shrimp Wonton Soup in Chinese Food,This Wonton Soup Recipe is easy to make, including the wontons themselves. You’ll fall in love with this restaurant quality recipe you can easily make at home! This Wonton Soup Recipe has a hot and sour soup as the base, and then delicious wontons stuffed with flavorful shrimp and veggies. The wontons are homemade, but simple to put together. The entire soup comes together in about 30 minutes for a classic soup that’s good enough to be served in a restaurant. Often times the wontons themselves contain meat in wonton soup. Shrimp is a common filling, but you can also find chicken and pork wontons out there as well. The filling possibilities are truly endless so you can feel free to experiment with what you like. You can easily make wonton soup vegetarian by not including any meat in the wontons themselves and using a vegetable broth for the soup base.

Chicken Hot and Sour Soup in Chinese Food,Restaurant-style chicken hot and sour soup is super easy to make and takes all of 30 minutes from start to finish! It’s got that perfect hot and sour flavor that everyone loves. The cold weather just makes me crave a bowl of chicken hot and sour soup. I love the kick of heat and authentic Chinese flavors in this soup. This soup is loaded with shiitake mushrooms, carrots, tofu, and chicken. And it’s incredibly easy to make. You will only need about 30 minutes from start to finish and you’ll be left with a flavourful restaurant-quality soup that will leave you licking the bowl! The best thing about this soup is how versatile and customizable it is. Make it vegetarian by skipping the chicken. Add pork instead of chicken if that’s what you prefer. Like more heat in your soup? Just add more chili peppers.

Healthy Fried Brown Rice in Chinese Food,Fried rice is one of those tasty little dishes full of flavor and full of vegetables. It could totally be healthy if it weren’t for all the oil and white rice! I packed the brown rice dish full of veggies and turned this greasy Chinese restaurant classic into a healthy version that retains all the flavor. Honestly, you may not even realize it is good for you!

Slow Cooker Chinese Hot and Sour Soup in Chinese Food,Slow Cooker Chinese Hot and Sour Soup makes it super easy to make your American Chinese restaurant favorite at home. Whether you are celebrating Chinese New Year, or simply making an every day meal, this Slow Cooker Hot and Sour Soup is an easy and delicious dinner.

Toss it in and come back later for a delicious meal! Chinese New Year is the celebration of the new lunisolar Chinese calendar. It has been celebrated for centuries.

It’s a fun little celebration meant to bring families together, and what better way to do that than with food?

Orange Peel Shrimp in Chinese Food,Lately, I’ve been developing lots of quick and easy recipes with an Asian flair to them. Korean Beef Bulgogi has been a long-time favorite for us and Thai Shrimp Salad is a new favorite, but I’ve also been perfecting classics like Szechuan Shrimp and Broccoli, Kung Pao Chicken, and Chinese Pepper steak. All of these recipes are ready in about 15 minutes and so full of flavor. They make for incredible dinners for busy nights that are not only quick and easy but also delicious and sure to impress.
Orange Peel Shrimp
Hunan Chicken in Chinese Food,We love spicy chicken and Hunan is no exception. If you want yours less spicy, lessen the number of chilis and sambal oelek. Hunan chicken is a stir-fried dish that is just coated in a dusting of cornstarch with a spicy chili paste sauce coating a mixture of vegetables. Szechuan Chicken is generally battered and fried before being added to a pan of stir-fried vegetables and coated in a much sweeter sauce than Hunan chicken.

Wonton Soup in Chinese Food,This is so much easier than waiting around for takeout. Homemade wonton soup! These wontons are filled with a juicy pork and prawn/shrimp filling and will knock your socks off. With step by step photos and a recipe video, you’re going to be a Wonton Wrapping Master in no time! Bonus: Best standby freezer meal ever and super healthy (350 calories for a bowl!)
Wonton Soup
Dan Dan Noodles in Chinese Food,Dan Dan Noodles is so widespread among Chinese noodle recipes, there are a lot of variations out there. Right off the bat, I knew Dan Dan Noodles was going to be a tough recipe to nail down. Last weekend, we did three tries. The crushed red pepper flakes are quite spicy, so if you want a milder chili oil, buy whole dried red chilies from any Asian market, de-seed them, and then use a food processor to chop them into flakes to make the oil.
