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!

Slow Cooker Cashew Chicken in Chinese Food,A Chinese takeout favorite made right in your crockpot and all you need is 10 min prep. It doesn’t get easier or healthier than that! If you’ve been following Damn Delicious for a while now, you know that I love creating Chinese takeout favorites. It’s just so much healthier to make right at home since you know exactly what’s going into your dish. But not only is this crockpot cashew chicken so much cheaper and quicker with just 5 min prep, but it also tastes 1000x better than takeout too! Best of all, you don’t have to skimp on the chicken or the cashews, although I loved the cashews a bit more in this dish.

I just highly recommend doubling the batch because you’ll want to skip the takeout and have this all week instead!

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!

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.

Chinese Chicken Mushroom Soup in Chinese Food,This chicken mushroom soup is so many things––delicious, healthy, warm, nourishing, and easy to boot. All it takes is 10 simple ingredients to make.
Chinese Chicken Mushroom 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.
Dan Dan Noodles
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.
Asian Steak Roll-Ups

Garlic Sesame Noodles with Beef, made completely from scratch using fresh, quality ingredients – and something I needed to faceplant myself into. 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.
Garlic Sesame Noodles
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.
Shrimp Wontons
Chinese Mapo Tofu in Chinese Food,This spicy, aromatic Sichuan dish is recognizable from the citrus aroma of Sichuan peppercorns and the spicy fermented flavor of hot bean sauce. According to legend, Mapo Tofu (Pock-Marked Grandma's Tofu) was named after an old Chinese woman who served the dish to her restaurant guests. She became known for it and people began referring to the dish as the pock-marked woman's tofu. Szechuan peppercorns, salted fermented black beans, and hot bean paste can be found online and in most Asian markets.
Chinese Mapo Tofu
Mongolian Beef in Chinese Food,This Mongolian Beef recipe is so easy to make at home, and it tastes 10x better too! Our new house is located right behind a Chinese restaurant, which can be quite annoying at times. I can always get a whiff of what they’re cooking, and it always happens when I’m hungry! So instead of moping around, craving Chinese food every single day of the week, I decided to make one of my favorite Chinese dishes at home – Mongolian beef. The best part about it is that it’s super easy to make right at home in 30 minutes or less, and it tastes so much better than the restaurant-version, mainly because you get to control your salt and sugar content. Plus, the leftovers are perfect for lunch the next day!
Mongolian Beef
Fried Spring Rolls in Chinese Food,Fried Spring Rolls is the best and crispiest spring roll recipe ever, filled with vegetables and deep-fried to golden perfection. The Chinese Straits like their popiah or spring rolls wet with savory fillings of julienned jicama, diced bean curd (firm tofu), shrimp, and crab meat wrapped in a fresh spring roll wrapper coated with sweet sauce (tee chew) and chili paste. Regardless of its size, recipe, and method of preparation, spring rolls are tremendously popular. Try making spring rolls on one of your weekends or whenever you want to indulge in the joy of cooking. Suffice it to say, spring rolls are worth devouring.
Fried Spring Rolls
Egg Drop Soup in Chinese Food,This restaurant-style Egg Drop Soup recipe only takes about 15 minutes to make and tastes even better than the restaurant version! Growing up, my family had a tradition of eating lunch at our local little Chinese restaurant every single Saturday. And every single Saturday — like, we’re talking nearly two decades of Saturdays here — I would order “the usual.” Anyone who knows me will tell you that I adore a good bowl of egg drop soup. It was my favorite food in the whole world as a kid. And today, it’s still one of the most comforting, nostalgic, delicious soups I know. In case this recipe is new to you, egg drop soup is a staple at Chinese restaurants across the United States. It’s typically made with lightly-seasoned chicken or veggie broth, and filled with delicious egg “ribbons”, which are created by whisking raw eggs into the simmering broth.
Egg Drop Soup
Chinese Shrimp Dumplings in Chinese Food,Homemade dumplings are easier to make than you think, and you can completely customize your fillings! It may look difficult to make Chinese dumplings at home, but the method is fairly simple once you know how to prepare them. I think part of the fun of making homemade dumplings is the process and the room for creativity. You can experiment with different ingredients for the filling based on your preference. The original Chinese dumplings are called Jiaozi. These dumplings consist of ground meat and vegetable filling that are wrapped into a thinly rolled piece of dough, which is then sealed by pressing the edges together. Finished jiaozi can be boiled, steamed, pan-fried ( we call potstickers), or deep-fried.

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.
Fried Rice
Easy Lo Mein in Chinese Food,Lo Mein is a fantastic Chinese takeout option if you’re looking for something a bit thicker than the traditional Chow Mein. The easiest lo mein you will ever make in 15 minutes from start to finish. It is so much quicker, tastier and healthier than take-out! A traditional chow mein has noodles that are boiled, then stir-fried until having a slightly crisped exterior while lo mein is boiled then tossed in a sauce without cooking the noodles an additional amount. The noodles are roughly the same, both egg noodles, but lo mein noodles are normally thicker and chewier.
Easy Lo Mein
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.
