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!
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.

Chicken Fried Rice in Chinese Food,Authentic Chinese fried rice is so easy to make….but so easy to get wrong. Oftentimes, those attempting fried rice without learning just a couple simple tricks will end up with a goopy, gluey, heavy mess. Here are the techniques for a restaurant-worthy, Chinese mom-approved, Chicken Fried Rice. If you don’t have a wok, use a large saute pan (like a frying pan, but with high sides) or even a large dutch oven. You need the high sides in a stir fry – so that ingredients don’t spill out as you toss. Feel free to substitute the chicken with pork, turkey or beef.

Garlic Sesame Noodles with Beef, made completely from scratch using fresh, quality ingredients – and something I needed to faceplant myself into.

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.

Chinese Chicken Skewers in Chinese Food,A delicious Asian inspired recipe for Chinese Chicken skewers that’s going to knock your socks off! Simple but full of flavor! I made these as skewers but this is fabulously made with whole chicken fillets. This is best made with skinless, boneless thigh fillets, but you can make it with chicken breast. You won’t get quite the same amount of caramelization you see in the photos because chicken breast has less fat. But the flavor is there! This is fabulous thrown on the grill but you can also make it on the stove OR broil it!

Chinese Orange Chicken in Chinese Food,Chinese orange chicken made with crispy fried chicken covered in an authentic orange sauce. The ultimate Chinese orange chicken recipe which is way better than take-off. My kids are always begging me to take them to grab Chinese food. They are obsessed with orange chicken but I am never really sure what’s in it….especially if they get it from a drive-thru. I wanted to create a version at home, made from scratch, with only ingredients I can pronounce. It still has the same incredible flavor they love. It’s a win-win in our home. This is the perfect time of year to whip up orange and lemon dishes especially this Chinese Orange Chicken.

Chinese Chicken Noodle Soup in Chinese Food,If you’ve ever been disappointed by a recipe for an Asian soup broth before, it’s probably because it was missing basic but essential flavorings. It takes more than just chicken broth and soy sauce to make a Chinese soup broth. The key ingredient that makes a difference is Chinese cooking wine, which can be substituted with sherry or even mirin or sake in this case. I’ve provided lots of substitutions and additional flavorings in the notes for this recipe because it’s a great one to use as a base and adapt to your own taste! This Chinese Noodle Soup is perfect for busy weeknights AND end of week fridge clean outs because it’s so fast and easy and you can toss in any vegetables and proteins you have. The soup broth tastes like what you get from Chinese restaurants even though this is made using a store-bought chicken broth as a base. And it’s just 332 calories for a big satisfying bowl! This truly is dinner on the table in just 20 minutes. Made from scratch. And perfect for the cooler evenings!

Chinese Pepper Steak in Chinese Food,Beef top sirloin steak is sliced across the grain for tenderness, coated in a sweet-and-savory soy sauce marinade, then quickly stir fried with fresh green pepper, onion, and tomatoes.

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
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.
Easy Chinese Chicken Salad
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.
