Chinese Cooking Tips For Chinese Food Recipes

Chinese cooking night is an excellent tradition that my family has established over the years and one that we have all arrived at love! On this special night monthly, my aunts, grandmas, parents as well as my two brothers as well as their families clear their hectic schedules and gather round the family kitchen to whip up a savory and delicious meal right out the Orient. Why Chinese food, you may well ask? Of all the different cuisines we've tried throughout the years, Chinese recipes are simple to follow, the food is delicious and Chinese cooking sauces have grown to be our favorite. Their adaptability and number of flavorful spices is loved through the whole family.

One thing we learned very in early stages is that Chinese food and Chinese cooking are greatly complimented through the key ingredients of the sauces. You can observe this very easily in the American Chinese food cooking trends. It's mainly a mixture of vegetables enhanced with Chinese sauces. These cooking sauces are utilized as garnishes and in preparing various kinds of delicious authentic recipes. The majority of our favorite Chinese dishes, like noodles and fried rice are created with a variety of spices and sauces which makes them very popular and savory meals.


In the usa, Chinese food has been used with techniques that are non-traditional and has taken on a number of its own new traditions. Their sauces have grown to be famous as dipping sauces and cooking sauces which are mainly used for different types of meat dishes like pork or chicken. Sweet and sour sauce was originally used like a simple sauce for fish dishes around the world but was used to produce American-Chinese dishes such as sweet and sour chicken if this was introduced in America. Along with sweet and sour sauce, another types of sauces used in America to boost flavor in popular Chinese foods for example noodles, fried rice along with other Chinese dishes are chili oil, oyster sauce and garlic sauce.

Chinese cooking using its tasty dipping sauces is another fun way to liven up meals and something that my children love! Try serving the dipping sauces in a tiny bowl along with the meal to accompany Chinese appetizers like pot stickers, spring rolls and egg rolls. Allow the kids have their own bowl to dip watching their faces light up. One of many reasons my family loves Chinese cuisine is the fact that there are so many different types of flavors that may be easily incorporated into everyday meals.

Probably the most famous are chili oil, sweet and sour sauce, hot mustard and garlic sauce. Chili oil is made of chili peppers and is used in stir-fry and to enhance the flavor of other dishes for example noodles. Another favorite and something that has been used for many centuries in China is good and sour sauce. Its main components of sugar and wedding vinegar turn it into a very popular choice and one that contributes savory flavor to Chinese dishes when coupled with tomato sauce. Garlic sauce and hot mustard sauce are wonderful sauces that work well with a number of Chinese appetizers.
