Top 12 Easy Chinese Recipes

Leave a comment

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. 

 

1. Black Pepper Shrimp – Incredibly tasty and flavorful, better than take-out! This stir fry is packed with plenty of fibrous vegetables and enough protein to satisfy your hunger. Your going to want to pull out the chop sticks for this one.

2. Chinese Chicken Broccoli Stir fry – This Chinese Chicken Broccoli Stir fry takes less than 30 minutes to make too, I know you will LOVE it!   

 

3. Vegetable Egg Drop Soup – Warm up to a BIG Bowl of  the most delicious “Vegetable Egg Drop Soup”. This popular chinese soup it’s super simple to make and believe it or not very filling. Not to mention inexpensive and addicting! 

4. Beef Pepper Ramen Noodle Stir fry – This has become one of my most popular ramen recipes here on  Canadian Cooking Adventures, it has received over 1k views within the first week.  And I’m not too surprised as to why so many people have enjoyed it. 

5. Black Pepper Chicken Stir Fry – One of my most popular asian and skip the take out inspired dishes. And one of me and my partners favorite chinese dishes has made it to the top 10. If you have tried this in the restaurant’s before and liked it then you have to try it at home. Enjoy!

6. Authentic Chicken Chow Mein– Now I can’t leave out my favorite chow mein and apparently neither can my readers. This chow mein is made with fresh noodles and is absolutely delicious! 

7. Singapore Laksa Soup– I have always loved Singapore Laksa soup, however it is a hard soup to find made well in the restaurants. I do not know why that is but it’s true. Some places have got it right while others not. 

8. Ginger Chicken Stir fry – This Ginger Chicken Stir Fry goes great alongside a warm bowl of Jasmine rice and can be made in less than 20 minutes ? can’t get any better than that.

9.  Chinese egg fried rice with vegetables –  Skip the takeout this weekend and try my homemade “Chinese egg fried rice with vegetables” instead. Made with eggs and a few frozen vegetables that make it very special. 

10. Black Bean Pork Vegetables Stir fry – Here a great recipe “Black Bean Pork Vegetables Stir fry “ it goes great alongside a warm bowl of Jasmine rice ? I tend to use broccoli most times for this recipe. However today I had a bag of frozen asian vegetables that I used instead. 

11. Vegetarian Lo Mein– Last but not least my Vegetarian Lo Mein soup for those who like to eat Vegetarian. This vegetarian lo mein is packed with loads of veggies and super tasty noodles. Then it’s all tossed together in the most delicious sauce. 

12. Kung Pao Chicken with Brussel Sprouts – This is my take on Kung Pao Chicken, traditionally peanuts are used in this dish and most definitely you can use those instead of the cashews.

 

HONORABLE MENTION

YES this is Thai but it is REALLY good too! 

Pad Thai

Red Velvet Parfait

Leave a comment

Try this Red Velvet Parfait for Canada Day!

Hello everybody, Canada Day is right around the corner and I wanted to share this awesome recipe with you. So if your looking for a unique dessert to serve this Canada Day? Check out my Red Velvet Parfaits it’s sure to be a hit.

 

Some cool facts: On Canada Day, July 1, 1980, the English version of ‘O Canada!’ was proclaimed the National Anthem of Canada, 100 years after it’s debut performance in 1880 for St. Jean-Baptiste Day celebrations. Composed by Calixa Lavallée, French lyrics were written by Sir Adolphe-Basile Routhier. Many English versions followed, but the current ‘official’ lyrics are based on a version written in 1908 by Robert Stanley Weir for the Diamond Jubilee of Confederation in 1927. ‘O Canada’ was, by far, the best-known patriotic song in Canada by the time World War I broke out in 1914. Many other songs had all but disappeared, and the once-popular ‘Maple Leaf Forever’ is rarely heard these days.

 

 

Red Velvet Parfait

Adventure level: 3/5

Serves: 4

This Red Velvet Parfait is sure to be a hit for any Summer event! 

 Ingredients

  • Red Velvet Cake Mix, eggs, oil and water

Canada eh? Canada Day is right around the corner and so I’m sharing one of my favorite salads “My Crab Potato Salad”!

Hello everybody, I can’t believe we are about to hit Canada’s been 151 years soon, I feel so old… ha well i kinda do. I recently turned 30 something, but I might as well turned #151 because I was actually born on Canada Day, imagine them apples. So when everybody is Celebrating this holiday, it once again feels like everybody is celebrating my Birthday!! Lucky me eh? 

Canada Day, means different things to different people. For me it has always meant school is over and summer is finally here! However as I get older, it’s now a time of reflection as well as a time where to get out and do some camping and be at one with nature. One thing for sure, is that this date is one where all Canadians come together, from sea to shining sea to Celebrate our nation’s Confederation. With FREE events happening Nationwide and all weekend long, you’re sure feel the spirit of it all.

So cool facts: On Canada Day, July 1, 1980, the English version of ‘O Canada!’ was proclaimed the National Anthem of Canada, 100 years after it’s debut performance in 1880 for St. Jean-Baptiste Day celebrations. Composed by Calixa Lavallée, French lyrics were written by Sir Adolphe-Basile Routhier. Many English versions followed, but the current ‘official’ lyrics are based on a version written in 1908 by Robert Stanley Weir for the Diamond Jubilee of Confederation in 1927. ‘O Canada’ was, by far, the best-known patriotic song in Canada by the time World War I broke out in 1914. Many other songs had all but disappeared, and the once-popular ‘Maple Leaf Forever’ is rarely heard these days.
