Healthy Chinese Food Recipes for Weeknights
Sure you could just order takeout, but these quick & healthy Chinese food recipes are made for busy families. Stock your kitchen with a few key ingredients and have some healthy, go-to recipes you love. Better-than-takeout Chinese food is minutes away!
Slow-Cooker Char Siu Pork
While cooking pork in the slow cooker may not yield the crusty ends you’d get making a traditional Chinese roast pork recipe, the flavor more than makes up for it. It’s worth heading to your local Asian market for dark soy sauce for this recipe (or order it online)–it’s thicker than regular and less salty, with a touch of sweetness. You can make a substitute by combining regular soy sauce with a bit of molasses……………
Beef Chow Fun
Brown sugar added to black bean-garlic sauce is what gives this stir-fry its unmistakable Chinese takeout flavor. The recipe for beef chow fun works equally well with tofu for a vegetarian meal or boneless, skinless chicken breast. Serve with sliced cucumbers tossed with rice vinegar, sesame seeds and a pinch of salt……………….
Sweet and Sour Chicken with Brown Rice
In about the time it takes to order and pick up Chinese takeout, you can make this much healthier version of sweet & sour chicken. Our version loses all the saturated fat that comes from deep-frying, along with the extra sugar and salt. If you prefer, use tofu instead of chicken, and use your favorite vegetables; just be sure to cut them into similar-size pieces so they all cook at about the same rate…………………..
