Fire up the wok and enjoy this succulent dish made with mushrooms, bamboo shoots and a bit of sherry.

This quick and easy Chinese stir-fry is another popular recipe in China, and you can find it in almost every Chinese restaurant. Shiitake mushrooms cooked with bok choy, stirring in some soy sauce, sugar and garlic in the end. The whole dish is fresh and tasty.

We love the Hot and Sour soup at Lettuce Wok 'n Roll, our local Chinese restaurant, and this is my attempt to re-create their delicious concoction. Sorry that the amounts are inexact. I didn't measure very carefully when I started making the soup.

Literally 5 minutes of cooking time. Start to finish this baby bok choy about 10 minutes and is packed with flavor.

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!

So far this is the best eggplant parmesan I have ever had. The mixture of ricotta, mozzarella and parmesan made the dish so cheesy and tasty...

This light yet tasty Chinese veggie salad is made with bean sprouts, lotus root, carrot, cucumber, black mushrooms, and tofu sheet, then tossed with a soy-rice vinegar-sesame oil dressing. A refreshing side dish that goes well with most of the main dishes, or just serve it with some steamed rice to complete a delicious meal.

Peanut butter makes a creamy, nutty yet tasty dressing that works deliciously well with this coleslaw.

Yum! I added some sliced red bell pepper strips to give the dish more colour. Used fresh broccoli instead of mixed frozen veggies, and added a drizzle of sesame oil and rice vinegar in the end as well as some sesame seeds. Enjoyed the dish with a bowl of rice, so good!

Sometimes nothing is better than a delicious stir-fry dish that's both healthy and scrumptious.

Snow peas, carrots and water chestnuts give this stir-fry the very crunchy texture, and the Asian sauce adds the sweetness, sourness and spiciness. A quick, easy and tasty stir-fry is great for a weeknight.

Fresh vegetables, seasoned with garlic, salt, sesame oil, olive oil and a touch of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Refreshing and crunchy!

This is the best shrimp recipe I have ever tasted, I do love the sichuan sauce in this recipe, very flavorful, I will make it again and again.

This is a simple and easy slaw, typical Asian style. Very healthy and savory.

Pad Thai Tip: For even more flavor, I'll often make a double batch of the pad Thai sauce. Then, as I'm stir-frying the noodles, I'll add more sauce until I'm happy with the taste (I also add extra fish sauce). Any leftover sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.

Browned tofu cubes, crispy sugar snap peas, a few mushrooms and sweet bell peppers are stir-fried with garlic, ginger, scallions, and Chinese seasonings. Quick, easy and tasty, great for a busy week-day supper.
