Easy Chinese Recipes Newsletter

Chinese Recipes Edition

Well it looks like the weather finally broke for us here in the South East and it's starting to cool off. After  more than a month of 90 degree plus I can say it's a welcome relief.

I've gotten a few e-mail requests lately asking if we had any Chinese recipes on the site. I went back and reviewed the collection and you know, I realized that the only recipe was one for P.F. Chang's Lettuce Wraps from the Copy Cat Cookbook collection!
So I went to our collection of recipe cards and cookbooks and here they are, a few of our favorite Chinese recipes.

One of my favorite things about Chinese cooking is that it is often fast and healthy and can feed a rather large family easily. I hope you enjoy these recipes as much as we do!

For an appetizer we like lettuce bundles. We often make these for a light dinner as well. They make a great entertaining appetizer for any party. While the recipe calls for ground pork, you can substitute beef turkey as well.

We also love Crab Rangoons and often make them just for snacking on. They make and excellent appetizer or side for spicy Chinese meals.

***Tip: While you can prepare a Chinese meal in any large saute or fry pan, we recommend that you use a wok. Using a wok is much easier and faster than most people realize. Our favorite is the  Joyce Chen 14-in. Carbon Steel Flat Bottom Wok

For those who enjoy Szechuan style Chinese, (hot and spicy) We've got Spicy hot beef and broccoli. This quick stir fry has a nice heat to it. For those who would rather not have spicy, substitute teriyakki for the spicy stir fry sauce.
This meal is best prepared in a wok for the best flavor and texture.


For Dessert, even though this isn't a Chinese recipe, Chocolate covered bananas are one of our favorite treats and the best thing about it is that its healthy for you too!

Don't forget that Halloween is fast approaching. We will be coming out with our Halloween recipe newsletter sometime in October. For all your costume and decoration needs we recommend  CostumeCity.Com . they have the largest selection of Halloween costumes you can find anywhere at very affordable prices.

That's it for this week.
See you Next!
