This is a recipe given to me by my beloved, late mother-in-law. It is a really tasty Asian soup recipe.

This dish, which originated on the island of Hainan, off the coast of Southern China, emphasizes the natural sweet flavour of an absolutely fresh chicken and served with rice that is cooked in chicken fat with garlic and then simmered in chicken stock.

I've always thought of fried rice as the quintessential comfort food. Think of it - a bowl of steaming white rice cooked to just the right consistency, filled with full of vegetable. No wonder fried rice is one of the world's most popular rice dishes!

There are two versions of Vegetable Manchurian, wet and dry. Made with generous amount of garlic and ginger and flavored with soy sauce and vinegar, the wet Vegetable Manchurian (with gravy) complements steamed white rice and is best when drizzled on a serving of steaming hot rice, fried rice or noodles. The dry Vegetable Manchurian is best served as an appetizer and is a favorite in our home.

This is my rendition of a recipe from an old Campbell's Soup cook book.

Used snow peas, mushrooms and red peppers for the veggies, and didn't add any cashews. It still came out delicious.

Making pot stickers are pretty much as same as making dumplings, the only thing different is how to cook them. Instead of boiling in the water, we fry them in a nonstick skillet with a bit oil, which really develops a layer of golden, brown and crispy bottoms with great texture. Serve these yummy pot stickers with a mixture of rice vinegar, a little bit soy sauce, a dash of sesame oil and splash of hot pepper oil.

Easy Chinese sesame beef strips and broccoli. With both stir-fry and microwave directions. Colorful with punchy Asian flavor.

An easy yet flavorful sichuan fried rice is packed with goodness. A great week-day meal is all in one pot.

A classic Chinese sichuan stir-fry. There are lots of notes in this dish, spicy, sweet, fermented taste from soy bean paste, and Asian symbol flavor from garlic, ginger and scallions. In China, the eggplant is usually fried in a good amount of oil under a high temperature, and sometimes people add some minced pork to add flavor. It's a delicious and popular dish that you can find at every Chinese restaurant in China.

Authentic Chinese side dish that combines the peppery flavor of radishes with a savory, slightly tangy with a hint of sweet soy dressing. The radishes are gleefully smashed allowing them to soak up the flavors of the dressing.

Chinese dumplings are one of the most popular dishes in China, there are lots of different fillings to make these delicious dumplings. You can steam or boil, the leftovers can be fried with a little oil. Dip the dumplings into a mixture of ginger, garlic, vinegar, soy sauce and chili oil. Heavenly delicious!

The secret to this recipe is cooking the beef in 1 cup of oil to seal in the juices, and cooking the broccoli in water to make it crisp and tender. For a more authentic touch, try using Chinese broccoli, which has an appearance and taste similar to asparagus.

This recipe is an interesting take on egg rolls that add belly filling barley along with delicious Asian flavor.

After a few potsticker recipes, I finally made my very first bunch of pot sticky buns (another popular food in China). They came out soft, and quite delicious. Nicely browned and crispy at the bottom. It's an excellent way to use up some of our fresh veggies.
