Introduction

Chinese food has long been a take-out favorite for families. What makes Chinese cuisine so appealing? The true secret to Chinese cuisine lies in a harmonious blending of flavors, textures, and colors. So, why aren’t more people stir-frying noodles and boiling dumplings?

A common misconception is that it takes a skilled chef working with state-of-the-art equipment to prepare good Chinese food. Fortunately, that’s not true. Stir-frying, steaming, and deep-frying — the three primary Chinese cooking techniques — are all easily mastered with practice.

Another common complaint is that the recipes are too complex, taking too long to make. The sight of a lengthy ingredient list can be a little daunting. But on closer inspection you’ll find that many of the ingredients go into preparing a marinade or sauce. Subtract those, and the basic recipe is frequently quite simple.

What are the pluses of cooking Chinese food at home? Besides the obvious advantage to your wallet, it’s often healthier than restaurant fare, since you control the fat and calorie count. You can let your own creativity come into play, adjusting a recipe to add favorite foods or seasonal local ingredients. Cooking Chinese food at home also allows you to modify a recipe to suit your family’s tastes — substituting parsley for cilantro, for example.

An added bonus is that there is something about cooking Chinese food that brings families together. Many pleasurable evenings can be spent filling dumplings or making pancakes. Appetizers such as egg rolls can often be baked as well as deep-fried, making it easier to involve young children. These 50 recipes are here to help you incorporate home-cooked Chinese meals into your daily life. Enjoy!

Plum Sauce

For best results, prepare the plum sauce several hours ahead of time to give the flavors a chance to blend.

Yields ²⁄3 cup

Ingredients

1 12-ounce can prune plums, drained

2 tablespoons brown sugar

4 tablespoons rice vinegar

1 slice ginger

1 clove garlic

¹⁄2 cup canned juice from the drained
