Almost every single Chinese has his or her own recipe for it. It is easy and
quick, takes less than 10 minutes, but at the same time, yummy. Eggs provide
protein, and tomato is a good source of vitamins. If you are in a hurry cooking
dinner, but still want something healthy and tasty, definitely try this!
2. Mapo Tofu
Mapo tofu is a popular Chinese dish
originated from Sichuan province. It consists of tofu set in a spicy
chili- and bean-based sauce, and minced meat, usually pork or beef. Variations exist
with other ingredients such as chestnuts, onions, or other
vegetables. If you love spicy and hot food, you just can’t miss it.
3. Kung Pao Chicken
Kung Pao chicken is a staple of westernized Chinese
cuisine. Almost every Chinese restaurant in the U.S. has it, but in fact, the
dish is not that popular in China. Kung Pao Chicken is a spicy stir-fry dish made with chicken, peanuts, vegetables,
and chili peppers.
The traditional way of cooking it also includes using Sichuan peppercorns. Although the dish is found throughout
China, there are regional variations that are typically less spicy than the
Sichuan serving.
4. Dumplings
Dumplings consists of small pieces of dough
either wrapped around a filling or incorporating other ingredients. The dough
can be based on bread or flour, and may be filled with fish, meat, or vegetables. It
may be cooked by boiling, frying, or steaming,
whichever the way you prefer. It is usually served as an entree if cooked by
boiling, and a dim sum if cooked by frying or steaming.
5. Fried Rice
Fried rice is a dish of steamed rice stir-fried in
a wok, often mixed with other ingredients, such as eggs, vegetables,
and shrimps. As a homemade dish, fried rice is typically made with leftover
ingredients in the refrigerator, leading to countless variations. There are
also Japanese and Korean style of fried rice, the later usually includes
kimchi.
6. Steamed Fish
Steamed fish is an
effortless way of cooking fish. Simply put some sliced gingers and green onions
on the top of the fish fillet, add a little wine and soy sauce, and steam it
