SHANGHAINESE LION’S HEAD by Linda Tay Esposito

They call it Lion's Head because the meatballs are ye big with manes of soft, tender napa cabbage...looking like a lion. Seriously, in Shanghai, the meatballs are the size of a tennis ball - let's call that a quarter pounder meatball. Slowly braise or steam to get a tender, melt-in-your-mouth meatballs. If you have a small…

Chinese Moon Cake by Weining Wang

In Asian countries, most people believe that Spring Festival is the well-deserved king of festivals. Others, though, would give the title to Mid-Autumn Day, a festival that invariably makes Asians abroad miss their motherland. Mid-Autumn Day, which has been with Asians for centuries, became symbolic of people returning to their…

Curried Chow Mein Noodle, Pea, Shrimp & Cashew Salad by Bob Vincent

This is a quick and easy dish to make. It is adapted from a recipe that appeared in Bon Appetit Magazine's "Too Busy To Cook" section in 1981. They published two hardbound books with recipes from "Too Busy To Cook." One in 1981 and the second volume in 1988. I added water chesnuts; increased the amount cashews and mayonnaise,…

Kung Pao Chicken by Wayne Ehlers

This recipe is much closer to how Kung Pao chicken is done in China. I don't know why restaurants here in the United States try to "Americanize" it, because most who try this version forget about the others.

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…

Chinese Seafood Noodles by Weining Wang

My favorite food is Chinese seafood, like Seviche (even though that's technically Peruvian, but I like the Chinese Style Seviche) and Campechana. Those dishes usually contain a medley of different seafood ingredients like fish, shrimp, Mussels, octopus or crab. They are then doused in a tomato lime base with different vegetables; it…

Kung Pao Pork by Lindaonwheels

This dish is pretty close to what you would get from take-out Chinese restaurants. But with a little planning ahead, you can make it at home in the time it would take to order it and get it delivered. I buy whole Pork Loins when they come on sale (I buy 2). I roast the whole Pork Loin. Then I cut one in half. I freeze the 2nd…

Pork With Prawn Dumplings by Marelie

Golden brown, crispy and crunchy yet soft and meaty in the middle. The aroma of sesame oil when used with dumplings is perfect. I read that there are about twenty types of dumplings in Chinese cuisine that are popular. Wow! what about the not so popular ones...I wonder how many types of dumplings in all. Hmmnnn... I don't want to…
