    Introduction

    You love Chinese food from a restaurant or local takeout place, so why not try to make it 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.

    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. And cooking Chinese doesn’t have to be difficult — many ingredients in popular Chinese dishes can be found in your local grocer store. All you need for equipment is a good knife, a large skillet, and maybe a vegetable steaming basket.

    Here are fifty mouthwatering dishes, from the traditional (Hot and Sour Soup, Moo Goo Gai Pan, and General Tso’s Chicken) to the exotic (Gado Gado Salad with Peanut Sauce, Szechwan Bean Curd and Preserved Vegetable, and Holiday Sticky Rice Cake). Get out your chopsticks and get ready to enjoy the uniquely harmonious blending of flavors, textures, and colors of a home-cooked Chinese meal.

    Classic Egg Rolls

    These freeze well — merely drain after cooking, wrap individual rolls tightly in plastic wrap, and store in a freezer bag. When you want to enjoy later, unwrap and heat in the toaster oven.

    Makes 15 egg rolls

    Ingredients

    ¹⁄4 cup water chestnuts, thinly sliced

    1 cup fresh mung bean sprouts, drained

    ¹⁄2 pound barbecued pork

    15 egg roll wrappers

    3 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water

    4–6 cups oil for frying

    Thinly slice the bamboo shoots. Combine the oyster sauce, chicken broth, and sugar. Set aside.

    Add 2 tablespoons oil to a preheated wok or skillet. When oil is hot, add the mushrooms and stir-fry for about 1 minute. Add the celery, then the water chestnuts, then bamboo shoots, stir-frying each for about 1
