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!
Chinese Chicken Salad in Chinese Food,Restaurant quality that you can easily make right at home, except it’s healthier and a million times tastier! I’ve been dying to share this Chinese chicken salad recipe. It’s one of my absolute favorite salads, and every time I feel the need to eat a little healthier, this is what I tend to order out. Except I just can’t justify spending $13-15 each time, especially when they skimp and add about 4 pieces of chicken. Best of all, this homemade version is so easy and much healthier than the restaurant. You can also add more vegetables to your liking, or omit as needed to fit your taste buds. Either way, you’ll never have to order this out again!

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.

Sit back, take a bite, and let the gingery and flavorful juice burst in your mouth!

Fried Rice in Chinese Food,This Chinese restaurant-style fried rice recipe is the absolute BEST. It’s quick and easy to make, customizable with any of your favorite mix-ins, and so irresistibly delicious. Guys, I was crazy about my fried rice. You’ve gotta plan ahead and use thoroughly-chilled cooked rice. A fresh batch of warm rice will not fry well when it hits the hot pan and will result in soggy and sticky clumps — no good. So leftover refrigerated rice is ideal! Or, if you are in a hurry, just cook up a fresh batch of rice. Then spread it out on a baking sheet or another large flat pan, drape the rice with a layer of plastic wrap, then pop it in the fridge for 30 minutes until it is thoroughly chilled.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

Asian Steak Roll-Ups in Chinese Food,Juicy steak and veggies in one bite. Easy make-ahead roll-ups with tons of veggies and the best Asian marinade loaded with so much flavor. It can be grilled or pan-seared! Anything that’s stuffed or rolled is always, ALWAYS, a win in my mind, and these steak roll-ups are no exception. With an amazingly flavorful Asian marinade, these roll-ups are stuffed with four different kinds of vegetables – asparagus spears, zucchini, bell pepper, and carrots, although you can add more or fewer veggies to taste.

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!

But really, I needed to make this noodle dish for myself. I tried to stick to the original recipe as much as possible, with garlic noodles, flank steak (LEAN CUISINE chefs used prime rib beef), carrots, bell peppers, and garlic with a soy garlic sauce.

Shrimp Wontons in Chinese Food,Shrimp Wontons - Super easy recipe with fresh shrimp wrapped with wonton skin and then boiled/steamed to be served with ginger vinegar sauce. So yummy! While many people enjoy crispy fried wontons, many have also asked for a good steamed wonton recipe. I love these shrimp wontons because they include my favorite protein, shrimp. Shrimp is such a versatile choice for many recipes, and I especially enjoy how they taste in these wontons. I rummaged through my fridge today and found some leftover wonton skins and whipped up these wontons with dipping sauces: ginger vinegar sauce. They were simply delicious. I love steamed wontons because it makes them extremely juicy, and you can really taste the filling.
