Shrimp and Tofu with Black Bean Sauce

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…

Brown Sauce with meatballs

Brown Sauce with meatballs by Weining Wang

There is only one reason why I wish to be a good chef: the determination of being a culinary martyr out of real ardent love. Like the lonely old man in my poem who walks along the silent street immersed in the dark night, despite of the sand storms and the agony loneliness trying to swallow him up, he keeps smiling and never loses his…

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

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!

One of the most popular dishes at Panda Express is their Beijing Beef, and right now (2020) it's off the menu! So it's the perfect time to break out your wok and cook this better than Panda copycat recipe at home! Who would have thought that crispy fried beef would be this good?! Apparently, the Panda Express chefs thought up a…

Chinese Stinky Tofu

Chinese Stinky Tofu by Weining Wang

My grandfather’s kitchen is a small but warm place where I spent almost twenty years. The inner satisfaction and happiness I have got cannot be weighed in the scale of universal equivalence.What I spend there is not a time of life. It is a state of mind, the spirit of martyr that I am constantly seeking for.The stinky Tofu added…

Easy Chinese Green Beans with Pork

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…

Chicken Almond (from The Nut Tree Restaurant)

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.…

Pineapple in a stir fry is fantastic because all the lovely juice spreads out and soaks through the rest of the dish! http://hungryjenny.blogspot.com/2010/04/three-things-to-do-with-beef.html

Fried Rice with Tempeh

Fried Rice with Tempeh by John Spottiswood

This is a delicious and healthy way to have fried rice. The tempeh provides a salty nuttiness similar to adding bacon, but with healthy goodness too. We tend to throw in whatever we have on hand, and the recipe below sort of demonstrates that. Using this method and sauce, you can add just about anything to the fried rice and it…

Anita's Chinese Pressed Chicken with Gravy

Anita's Chinese Pressed Chicken with Gravy by webtexan

I worked in a Chinese restaurant for a time and this was my very favorite dish that they made and not every Chinese Restaurant offers it on their menu. I searched everywhere on the internet to find this recipe, but it just wasn't there. Therefore, I did my best to create from memory and feel it's very close to the original.

Chinese Dragon Chicken

Chinese Dragon Chicken by Weining Wang

For me, Cooking is also such a dialogue. The sincere gratitude for life ,admiration for nature , the passion for cooking—all of these are productions of the dialogue. What I will spend in writing is not a time of life. It’s the development of my thinking ego showing great intellect in thinking, with resolute willing and sensible…
