Stir-Fried Broccoli with Chili-Garlic Sauce

Stir-Fried Broccoli with Chili-Garlic Sauce by John Spottiswood

My 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,…

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%…

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…

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…

Eggplant Szechuan-style

Eggplant Szechuan-style by Amos Miller

Year of the Rooster ! A most Happy and Prosperous and Fortunate New Year to all my Chinese friends! Many years ago - too many - I got a recipe from Chef Rose Cheng that set the basis for this dish. I have always come to this dish for a mid-winter spark. I love eggplant - in all it's manifestations. This dish is one of my…

Kung Pao Chicken

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.

Kung Pao Chicken

Kung Pao Chicken by David Martin

As you may know, my spouse is Chinese and we cook a Chinese dinner once a week. So this week I thought I would highlight his version of the Kung Pao chicken, which is my favorite Chinese dish. This classic Sichuan dish is also known as Kung Bao chicken, Gung Po chicken, and Kung Po chicken in English. It is reportedly named after…

Honey Pork and Cashew Stir Fry

Honey Pork and Cashew Stir Fry by Hungry Jenny

A super speedy stir fry that is quick to prepare, but with a yummy orange and honey sauce to flavour it up. It probably tastes better (and even quicker to make) with egg noodles but I personally prefer rice :-)

Freezer Soup or Pepper Steak Soup

Freezer Soup or Pepper Steak Soup by Comfy Cook

Finding a container with mystery ingredients, I defrosted it to find some pepper steak. I had counted on it being soup so I transformed it, into one of the most tasty soups, I have had.

Crunchy Long Beans With Sesame Seeds

Crunchy Long Beans With Sesame Seeds by Blackswan

This is just a simple vegetable dish I'd discovered during my last Shopping & Dining Trip in Bangkok. I was spell-bound the minute I took a bite into this dish at a Thai-Chinese Restaurant near Conrad Bangkok. Interestingly, it's spicy, very spicy & terribly salty. They've added peppercorns, dried chilli & something I've never…
