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.

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%…

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…

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…

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.

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…

Beef Fried Rice w/ Vegetables

Beef Fried Rice w/ Vegetables by NikkiiGe

This is a recipe that I made up myself with some of my favorite foods. It is easy, and uses mostly items that you normally keep in your Pantry and Fridge. Garlic, ginger and soya sauce season this recipe and has an oriental taste. An easy one pot dinner.

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 :-)

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…

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!
