YangZhou fried Rice by Weining Wang

Have you ever tried to taste the Yangzhou fried rice? I love it!!!Let’s try it!!!It was so awesome. I had a talk with my grandfather in this morning and we began to create our new cuisine together.

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…

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…

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…

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.…

MINCED CHICKEN & LAP CHEUNG IN LETTUCE CUPS

MINCED CHICKEN & LAP CHEUNG IN LETTUCE CUPS by Linda Tay Esposito

There are so many versions of Chicken in Lettuce Cups. This recipe features the classic trinity of chicken, lap cheung (Chinese wax sausages) and dried shrimp. If you are in the San Francisco Bay Area, get the Wycen lap cheung (Washington/Stockton or Clement/7th) . They make their sausages locally and offer extra lean 100%…

Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Chicken Lettuce Wraps by Joanne Weir

This 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.

XINJIANG LAMB MINI PITA POCKETS

XINJIANG LAMB MINI PITA POCKETS by Linda Tay Esposito

On 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…
