Fried Rice Restaurant Style

1159

A quick fried rice like you get at your favorite Chinese restaurant. A couple of eggs, baby carrots, peas and soy sauce is all you need.

By jostrander

Delicious and bursting with flavor, Asian lettuce wraps are a great idea for entertaining or a family style meal. Each person can build their own fresh, delicious wrap. Just be sure to have plates or napkins available since the mixture can sometimes drip a little. To serve, allow each person to spoon a portion of the meat into a lettuce leaf. Wrap the lettuce around the meat like a burrito and enjoy!

A quick and easy dish to prepare, this chicken stir-fry is packed with veggies. Try adding bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, snap peas, or any of your favorite vegetables. Serve it with white or brown rice, or noodles.

Egg Drop Soup (Better than Restaurant Quality!)

572

After many many trips to different Chinese restaurants looking for a good bowl of egg drop soup, I decided to take it upon myself to create what I feel is the ultimate in egg drop soup. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Beef Bulgogi

725

Just like my Korean mom makes it! It's delicious! Even better if rolled up in red leaf lettuce with rice and hot pepper paste. If you want to spice it up just add red pepper powder to your marinade.

Kung Pao Chicken

972

Spicy chicken with peanuts, similar to what is served in Chinese restaurants. It is easy to make, and you can be as sloppy with the measurements as you want. They reduce to a nice, thick sauce. Substitute cashews for peanuts, or bamboo shoots for the water chestnuts. You can't go wrong! Enjoy!

By Arlena

Restaurant Style Beef and Broccoli

852

This is my go-to recipe when I want Chinese food without having to go out. Very easy and delicious. Substituting chicken for the beef works great too. Serve over rice.

By Dianne

Ahi Poke Basic

145

This is a standard raw tuna (poke) salad served in most Hawaiian homes. Although unconventional, it is sure to please the more adventurous seafood lovers. Be sure to use fresh tuna for the very best flavor, although fresh frozen tuna will produce acceptable results.

Chinese Pork Dumplings

In Seattle's International District, Liana Cafe House sells traditional Chinese pork dumplings from a tiny takeout shop. See how to make them at home.

General Tsao's Chicken II

988

A genuinely mouthwatering dish with an Asian kick that will knock your chopsticks off! Don't be fooled by other General Tsao impostors: this is simply the best Chinese chicken you will ever have. With a flair of peanut oil, a streak of sesame, a dash of orange, and a sweet spot for hot, this is sure to be a favorite. Just don't forget to deep-fry twice! Serve with steamed broccoli and white rice.

By ChefDaddy

Gyoza Sauce

101

Use this slightly-spicy Japanese dipping sauce for pot stickers or spring rolls.

By Rebecca Friedman

Hot and Sour Chicken Soup

207

Very good and very easy to make Asian soup. My husband is a chef, and he said that this was fantastic! (He's hard to impress.) We finished the pot in one sitting.

Inspiration and Ideas

Pork Dumplings

267

These tasty treats make a perfect appetizer or you can serve them as a main dish. For a main dish count on about 15 dumplings per person. Serve with hoisin sauce, hot Chinese-style mustard and toasted sesame seeds.

Crispy Honey Sriracha Chicken Wings

239

The honey-sriracha glaze is quite delicious and incredibly simple, but merely an afterthought here. The real star of the show is the strange, but effective, technique of coating the wings with a baking powder-laced spice rub before baking. Through the magic of chemical reactions, the surface of the chicken becomes bone-dry, and eventually crisps up to something very similar to what would come out of a deep fryer.

Bibimbap (Korean Rice With Mixed Vegetables)

Along with kimchi, bibimbap takes its place among the favored foods in Korean cuisine. Literally meaning 'mixed rice,' it's a popular meal consisting of white rice topped with vegetables, beef, a whole egg, and gochujang (red chili pepper paste). For those who cannot handle the spiciness (like our children), you can substitute with soy sauce or Sriracha (rooster sauce) in place of it.

By mykoreaneats

Kongnamool (Korean Soybean Sprouts)

A fresh Korean favorite with the flavor of kim chi. Enjoy with a bowl of rice.

Grilled Asian Chicken

409

Great for last-minute company or a quick dinner by rounding it out with a baked potato and tossed salad.

By Janet M.

Spicy Szechuan Green Beans

I modified this recipe to be less oily. It is almost as good as take-out Chinese green beans. It tastes wonderful with ham and a baked yam.

By Tasha

General Tao Chicken

300

Great chicken that tastes the same as the one served in the Chinese restaurants, without the deep frying. Serve on steamed jasmine or basmati rice.

By Mel

Vegetable Fried Rice

128

This dish combines the nutty flavor of brown rice with the fresh taste of bell peppers, baby peas, and other vegetables.

By dakota kelly

Sesame Pasta Chicken Salad

975

A refreshing light pasta salad with a delicious Asian flair. Great for a summer cookout or picnic. Tastes great right away, and even better if you can allow it to marinate for a while.

By ohines

Shrimp Fried Rice II

385

The real shrimp fried rice, restaurant style. This is how I used to cook fried rice when my father still owned a restaurant.

By OKBAT

Air Fryer Spicy Green Beans

Spicy green bean recipe made simple in the air fryer. My flavor combination was inspired by a famous dish at a restaurant chain.

By Soup Loving Nicole

Asian Pork Tenderloin

332

This is a simple and flavorful recipe. For best results, marinate the pork at least 8 hours (overnight is best) and flip it after 4 hours. It's great with rice and Asian veggies like bok choy! Enjoy!

By ONOLICIOUS10

Kalbi (Korean BBQ Short Ribs)

173

This is the staple of Korean fine dining, but too expensive in the restaurants. It is also simple to make at home, and will leave your guests asking for more. Total time includes marinating time. Traditionally, should be served sliced, rolled in romaine lettuce leaves, along with white rice, lightly browned garlic slices, and gochujang (Korean red pepper paste).

By CC

Skillet Chicken Bulgogi

126

This is a quick and easy, but very tasty meal. You can substitute the chicken with beef or pork for variety. My wife and I absolutely love this recipe, and it only takes 30 minutes with very few dirty dishes! Serve over rice.

By daveparks4

Mandarin Chicken Pasta Salad

259

I had this at a party and couldn't get it off my mind. It's a fruity Asian chicken salad that even my family's picky eaters enjoy. I bake my own chicken for more flavor, which adds to the prep time, but pre-cooked or canned chicken will also work just fine.

By KATRINP

Crispy Ginger Beef

This recipe is so much better than take out! Serve it with homemade fried rice or plain rice. If you like spicy, just add more chili pepper flakes!

By Mandi Zainab Raimi

Savory Pan-Seared Tuna Steaks

These marinated tuna steaks, served rare, taste 'fancy' but are very easy to cook. Even my husband, who doesn't like most cooked fish, enjoys these steaks. A sprinkling of cracked black pepper is a good finisher for this dish.

By meg_in_quebec

Chinese Chicken Fried Rice I

289

Chicken fried rice, just like they serve in the restaurants! A stir fry with chicken, rice, soy sauce and veggies like peas, carrots, celery and bell peppers. This is something my sister just sort of whipped up one day. It's very good!

By sal

Super Easy Hummus

184

Super easy hummus that only takes minutes. Great with veggies or pita chips. Really it's great with ANYTHING!

By Chelsey

Simple Sauteed Sesame Chicken

A healthier, simpler, and more savory take on sesame chicken. This recipe can be made with regular flour or with a gluten-free flour mix, along with basic ingredients you can already find in your kitchen. My husband absolutely loves it and it is the perfect alternative to a night in with take-out. Best served with steamed rice, broccoli, carrots, and water chestnuts. Serve with steamed rice and vegetables.

By Alyson Petruncio

Miso Sesame Dressing

Great light dressing to pair with cabbage or romaine lettuce, fresh mandarin oranges, and toasted almonds! Place greens in a bowl and add garnishes. Ladle toasted sesame dressing around salad and toss to coat greens evenly. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds.

Teriyaki Salmon

111

Salmon is a favorite of my husband. This recipe never fails to be a hit, whether we broil the salmon in the oven or grill it outdoors. Pair it with some homemade teriyaki fried rice to complete your meal.

By Katzmeow

Teriyaki Marinade and Sauce

I looked long and hard for a good-flavored teriyaki marinade recipe that could double as a sauce. Found a few and modified to this.

By Matthew Broomhead

Enoki Mushrooms

A very quick, tasty side dish that pairs well with an Asian-themed meal. They would also be great topped with a stir-fry.

By Bren

Easy Asian Dipping Sauce

This easy dipping sauce tastes great with chicken balls, spring rolls, or dumplings.

By gregoryz

Quick Egg Roll Dipping Sauce

Beat the flavor of the 'included sauce' (usually not too hard) with this quick and easy dipping sauce that only requires a few Asian ingredients! If you want to make this into a teriyaki, just add a bit of brown sugar (2 tbsp) and then cook it over low heat, adding a tablespoon of cornstarch for a thicker, glossier glaze-type sauce.
