Chicken Lettuce Wraps by Joanne WeirThis is one of those dishes that I have to order every single time I go to Chinatown and see them on the menu. I love the crunch of the lettuce, the saltiness of the soy sauce, and the sweetness of the oyster sauce. You can substitute turkey, pork or squab with equally delicious results. |

MINCED CHICKEN & LAP CHEUNG IN LETTUCE CUPS by Linda Tay EspositoThere are so many versions of Chicken in Lettuce Cups.

SHIITAKE & ENOKI ASIAN MUSHROOMS SPRING ROLLS by Linda Tay EspositoA vegan favorite at the dim sum table.

Fresh Lettuce wraps with chicken - San choy bau by John SpottiswoodThe fresh, crisp lettuce cups in this dish are why it is called San choy bau...which roughly means "raw vegetable". I love the mix of textures and flavors in this dish. Hot and cold, crunchy and soft, spicy and sweet. You and your guests won't be disappointed! |

The aromatic dipping sauce (adapted from Fuchsia Dunlop's "Land… |

XINJIANG LAMB MINI PITA POCKETS by Linda Tay EspositoOn the Silk Road path, the Uyghur cuisine in north western China uses a lot of spices and features goat and lamb dominantly. It's not what one would typically think of as Chinese foods. The Uyghurs also serve most of their dishes with a chewy flatbread that reminds me of bagel just holeless. This Xinjiang Lamb Mini Pita Pockets… |

Fat Choy Lemon Chicken by Bert SackmanLemon Chicken is often served with heavily breaded chicken pieces and a cloying lemon sauce that makes the dish less than enjoyable. Try this version, which is closer to the true Cantonese style of cooking. If you can, buy waterchestnut powder and grind it more finely in a food processor to make it into a fine flour. The chicken can… |
