Notes about Recipes in this book

• Chinese barbecued pork

  • Tinala523 on February 07, 2022

    Easy and delicious! I halved the five-spice and marinated it 24 hours. Served it sliced. The whole family loved it! Will surely make again. Note: You definitely need the foil in the pan!

• Braised tofu and mushrooms

  • eve_kloepper on May 11, 2018

    I used Trader Joe's Sriracha baked tofu, which eliminated step one to make this an even quicker meal. Delicious.

• Crab egg foo yung

  • amoule on April 02, 2015

    Excellent! Super easy and well worth repeating. The recipe makes about twice as much sauce as I needed, though. Go easy on the salt inside the omelet because the sauce is quite salty.

• Open-faced omelet with savory garlic sauce

  • Thredbende on February 12, 2014

    This was delicious made with pantry staples, including half a can of chopped tomatoes and a can of water chestnuts. The flavors were fresh and we two enjoyed it with plain boiled rice for dinner. I used some of the canned tomato juice for the veg broth.

• Asparagus shrimp

  • lorloff on August 04, 2015

    Delicious technique. Added straw mushrooms instead of the water chestnuts. Added 1 t sesame oil to the marinade and added more garlic and scallions than called for.

• Mandarin orange tofu mousse

  • Tinala523 on January 23, 2023

    This was a perfect ending to our Chinese New Year Dinner! Light and delicious, no one believed tofu was in it!

• Mangoes and sticky rice

  • lorloff on December 17, 2011

    Great dish. Added vanilla beans to the coconut milk and used a rice maker and it worked very well
