Cantonese Sauce
I needed Cantonese sauce for a recipe I was making and couldn’t get to the store, so I decided I could just make it. This recipe looked like the best with only a few minor changes. The best thing,homemade is always better!
Cantonese Roast Duck
Adapted from an old Craig Claiborne recipe I like very much. Cooking time is very approximate and may go longer than stated (the original recipe indicated only about 1 hour but I have not found it to be done in that time when using the size of duck indicated). Preparation time does not include letting duck dry overnight.
Chow Dai Wey Choy
Elegant stir-fried vegetables, another wonderful Chinese recipe from Jim Lee’s 1970s cookbook. “Cooking time” is actually time to soak mushrooms. The actual cooking time is included in “Preparation time” since it involves active stir-frying almost the whole time rather than passively letting it cook. May be served alone or over rice.
Basic Sweet Chinese Dough
You can use this to create traditional chinese bakery buns at home. I got this from Jo’s Deli Bakery, with some revisions of my own 🙂
Chinese Braised Chicken and Chestnuts
From one of my Chinese cookbooks. It’s in Chinese, so some measurements are a little general. It’s pretty simple, and what can be better than chicken and ginger on a cold day?
