"I have not tried this recipe yet, but hopefully will make this soon as I love Char Siew Sow! Recipe found on internet - Jo's Bakery. Prep time includes 30mins chilling time for the dough. NOTE - this recipe is not really authentic as the fat used in traditional Chinese pastry is usually lard instead of butter."

Ingredients: cornstarch, custard powder...

"This classic Cantonese starter is simple to make, but for real success, there are a couple of rules you need to follow. Most important: always use clean oil for your deep-frying. The resulting batter will be crisp, crunchy and light, as opposed to heavy, greasy and 'dirty' in flavour. And be sure to serve it immediately: this dish is best eaten..."

Ingredients: cornstarch, szechuan peppercorns...

"These are lovely little fritters--sort of Chinese beignets--with a very mild flavor. Delicious served with a sweet, spicy dipping sauce."

Ingredients: cornstarch, salt & freshly ground black pepper...

"Just in time for Chinese New Year! My take on classic Spring Rolls, filled with minced chicken and crisp Chinese seasoned vegetables. I decided to shape these into little square bundles (As I remember seeing in the Far East on Laundry Days), rather than the usual elongated rolls - you can then tie the bundles with fresh chives blades if you have any,..."

Ingredients: chives, cucumbers, egg whites...

"Not soup with dumplings in it, but dumplings with soup in them. This is a famous kind of steamed dumpling for dim sum. You bite a little hole in the dumpling, then carefully sip the scalding hot broth out of it, then dip the rest of the dumpling in a dip and eat. It's amazing how they get it inside-out like that. I have just learned, from a cookbook..."

Ingredients: Chinese red vinegar, dried Chinese mushrooms...

"Although these are some work, you'll be very proud of the results. These are those lovely, translucent dumplings you get at dim sum places. The tapioca flour and wheat starch can usually be found at good oriental food stores. These are best made in a bamboo steamer. I've included a recipe for a dip but you can use your own favorite dumpling..."

Ingredients: chili oil, cornstarch, shrimp...

"A take-off of the well known Cantonese egg fu yung and local to the St. Louis area, this can now be found nationwide, in the local chop suey houses and Chinese express type restaurants. Surprisingly, the sandwich has nothing to do with St. Paul and why the sandwich is named that is unclear. But for anyone growing up in the St. Louis area might find..."

Ingredients: cooking oil, cornstarch...

Ingredients: cornstarch, dark brown sugar...

"Found this recipe in a cookbook, and made this for Christmas instead of the usual Roast Turkey. Just for a little oriental touch. Looks good on the table, as good as restaurant made, or better! According to my Christmas guest."

Ingredients: dried Chinese mushrooms, baby bok choy...

"Had way too much of roast beef one time, and whipped this salad up to make up for the amount of meat I had consumed, and the lack of vegetables in a diet. It worked so well, I have started making extra roast beef, just so that I could have heaps of leftovers for this wonderful salad."

Ingredients: garlic, mint leaves...

"Easy to make, and also very adaptable. Chop suey is the classic Chinese-American dish. This one's mainly a vegetable dish with beef added for extra flavor."

Ingredients: pepper, cornstarch...

"Barbecued pork inside a dome-shaped bun of soft bread dough. Traditionally served with tea as a light lunch. This isn't as sweet as authentic recipes, but it is much easier than the steamed sweet bread."

Ingredients: fine breadcrumbs, dark soy sauce...
