How To Make Every Chinese Takeout Dish
Chinese takeout is a convenient and delicious option for a quick and satisfying meal. However, it can also be expensive and you may not always have access to a nearby Chinese restaurant. That’s why it’s beneficial to learn how to make every Chinese takeout dish in the comfort of your own home.
To start, it’s important to have the right ingredients on hand. Chinese cooking typically involves a variety of sauces and seasonings such as soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and scallions. You should also have a good selection of vegetables such as bok choy, snow peas, mushrooms, onions, and peppers. Finally, you will need your choice of protein such as chicken, beef, pork, shrimp, or tofu.
One popular Chinese takeout dish is stir fry. To make it, start by heating up a wok or large sauté pan over high heat. Add in a tablespoon of vegetable oil and swirl to coat the pan. Then, add in your protein and cook until browned on all sides. Remove from the pan and set aside. Next, add in your vegetables and cook until they are tender-crisp. Finally, add in your sauce mixture, which can consist of soy sauce, oyster sauce, garlic, ginger, and hoisin sauce. Toss everything together and serve over rice or noodles.
Another staple of Chinese takeout is fried rice. To make it, start by cooking long grain rice according to package instructions and set aside. Heat a wok or large sauté pan over medium-high heat and add in a tablespoon of oil. Then, add in your choice of vegetables such as peas, carrots, and corn. Cook until tender and then push the vegetables to the side of the pan. Crack two eggs into the space and scramble them until they are cooked through. Mix everything together and add in your cooked rice. Season with soy sauce and serve hot.
For a classic dish like kung pao chicken, start by marinating your chicken in a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, garlic, and ginger for at least 30 minutes. Heat up a wok or large sauté pan and add in a tablespoon of oil. Add in diced chicken and cook until browned on all sides. Remove from the pan and set aside. Add in diced red and green bell peppers and cook until tender. Finally, add in your sauce mixture, which can consist of soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice wine vinegar, and chili garlic sauce. Toss everything together and serve hot with rice.
With a few simple ingredients and techniques, you can make all your favorite Chinese takeout dishes right in your own kitchen. It’s a fun and rewarding way to enjoy delicious Chinese food without having to rely on takeout. Give it a try and impress your family and friends with your newfound skills in the kitchen!
