Ordering Takeout food can get very expensive!
I love takeout food just as much as anybody, but I also like to spend my hard earned money on other things. Making chinese food is pretty easy, I know this to be true because I make it at home often. Yes there are some dishes which require you to marinade a duck 24 hrs in advance, however those type of recipes are not listed here. Here is a list of my top 12 easy chinese recipes, that anyone can pull off.
Most of the recipes listed here can be made in less than 30 minutes as well. If that does not inspire you to prepare more chinese recipes at home than I don’t know what will. All these recipes have been tried and tested and are very popular.
I have compiled this list of my top 12 most popular “Skip the Takeout Chinese Recipes” from here on Canadian Cooking Adventures.com
Stay tuned as this ever evolving collection of Chinese “SKIP THE TAKEOUT” inspired recipes are only going to grow.
