Stir-Fried Broccoli with Chili-Garlic SauceMy father-in-law has become an amazing cook, and he made this as part of our Easter lunch this year with the fabulous pork tenderloin recipe (see linked below). This version isn't gloppy with extra sauce like you find in many Chinese take out places. It's very flavorful but also relatively light and healthful. He made a TON of it,… |

Garlic Ginger Green BeansThese are an excellent, healthy side dish to any grilled meat. I highly recommend them with the Chinese BBQ chicken recipe below, but honestly these would go well with just about anything. Unfortunately these were tapped out long before our chicken, so make more than you think you need. They are great the next day too! |

Basmati Rice with HerbsThis is an excellent, flavorful side dish that goes really well with fish, shrimp, or chicken. It's like a mild version of a Briyani...easy to make and full of healthy ingredients. I thought the Parmesan cheese was weird addition, but the flavor blends nicely and it isn't over powering. Enjoy! |

Pan-Fried Noodle Hong Kong StyleOne of my favorite Chinese dishes is pan-fried noodles. I used to make a gooey mess when I tried to make it. A sweet grandmother in my neighborhood taught me the secret to making this easy and delicious recipe, and it tastes like the one you find at any dim sum place. |
