Bamboo Steamed Salmon with Sesame Oil by Mihir Shah

This dish came out great. Very healthy and easy because of the steaming. Drizzling the sesame oil over the top at the end really makes the dish. Wonderful!

Shrimp and Tofu with Black Bean Sauce by John Spottiswood

We're on a mission to create the ultimate black bean sauce. This recipe is getting pretty close I think. I took bits from a traditional Chinese recipe and combined those with another few bits that I got from a Martin Yan recipe. The result was not as sweet as Martin Yan's, but with just enough sweetness to fill out the flavor of…

Shirmp with Broccoli Stir Fry by John Spottiswood

This is a bit of a make-shift stir fry that came out great. I mixed some of the ingredients from my favorite chinese and thai dishes here, and the combination came out delicious.

Easy Chinese Asparagus and Beef by John Spottiswood

This is so easy to make that I'm almost embarrassed to put it on. However, my Chinese friend Joyce said "I could eat this every night!" when she tasted it, and I almost agree. It has a great classic Chinese flavor. Nothing fancy, but lots to like all the same!

Easy Chinese Green Beans with Pork by John Spottiswood

This is a very easy and healthy Wok meal that I often throw together with fresh green beans and extra pork roast or pork chops. It tastes great with very little or no pork too, if you prefer vegetarian dishes. This is best done in a wok over very high heat, but you can stir fry it in a large saute pan if you do not have a wok. This…

Sweet and Sour Meatballs by Salad Foodie

I served this at an informal dinner as mini-cocktail meatballs (1" size) but in a sweet and sour sauce, rather than barbecue, and everyone loved them. Next time they will be made into larger ones as an entree served with rice. I like the combination of meats in making meatloaf or meatballs, and ground turkey or chicken would be a…

Chicken Almond (from The Nut Tree Restaurant) by Salad Foodie

My favorite entrée at the Nut Tree Restaurant (before it closed in ‘96) near Vacaville CA was Chicken Almond. (The gift shop at The Nut Tree sold the restaurant’s most popular recipes, which is how I came by them.) This makes a good summertime recipe because it’s a one-skillet meal that cooks in a flash and won’t heat up the kitchen.…

Pork and Shrimp Fried Rice by Enda Love

Rice is an integral part of the Chinese New Year celebratory meal. Representing fertility, luck and wealth, it is the cornerstone of many iconic dishes. What's more, with its stickiness representing the family bond, rice is an ideal part of a meal shared between loved ones. This easy to prepare dish from Uncle Ben's has impressive…

Kung Pao Chicken by David Martin

As you may know, my spouse is Chinese and we cook a Chinese dinner once a week. So this week I thought I would highlight his version of the Kung Pao chicken, which is my favorite Chinese dish. This classic Sichuan dish is also known as Kung Bao chicken, Gung Po chicken, and Kung Po chicken in English. It is reportedly named after…

Honey Pork and Cashew Stir Fry by Hungry Jenny

A super speedy stir fry that is quick to prepare, but with a yummy orange and honey sauce to flavour it up. It probably tastes better (and even quicker to make) with egg noodles but I personally prefer rice :-)

Chicken Chow Mein by jason kim

We had some egg noodles in the pantry just waiting to be used so we decided to make two dishes out of it--chicken chow mein and chicken lemongrass soup. They both turned out decent but I must say that it was quite a task doing two dishes at one time, especially when you need to cook the noodles at different times. But all in all…

Spicy Pork with Black Beans by Barbara Ann Day

A very spicy Chinese type cuisine. One of our favorites. Wonderful with a side of vegetables prepared Chinese style with a light garlic sauce.
