From traditional Chinese homecooked recipes to popular takeout dishes, here is a list of classic delicious easy Chinese recipes you can make at home today from my family to yours!
Char Siu (Chinese BBQ Pork)
Chinese BBQ pork is used in many rice and noodle dishes, but it's actually not that intimidating or difficult to make at home as well! It's actually quite easy to make at home both in the oven and over the grill, the key is to get the char at the very end which thickens the sauce makes it super sweet and sticky.

Beef Chow Fun
Another classic and delicious Chinese takeout favorite with tender thinly sliced marinated beef, stir-fried with thick and chewy rice noodles. Traditionally, it's made with fresh ho fun (rice noodles) but I will show you how to use both fresh or dried rice noodles and what to look for when you are shopping for fresh ones!

Sweet and Sour Pork
