A lo mein is one of those immensely satisfying yet super simple recipes out there. And when you add a medley of colorful seasonal vegetables, you can be assured it is healthy too. I always try out different combinations of sauces and condiments while making Chinese, this time was no different. The best way to…
Tofu In A Chili-Garlic Sauce {Served Over Crispy Noodles}
I just love Chinese, not the sweet American-Chinese (which is just weird, IMO), but the spicy Chinese and Indo-Chinese cuisine. I’ve also come to love tofu over the past year. The best tofu I’ve had was at a local Chinese restaurant. They thankfully do not serve sweet chicken or tofu. I love their pot-stickers, dumplings…
Homemade Spicy Red Chili & Garlic Sauce
If you love Chinese or Indo-Chinese cuisine, some kind of chili sauce is a must in your pantry. I made some of my own, but I must warn you, it is one spicy, firecracker sauce! It has the burning, lingering heat of dried red chilies combined with the smoky goodness of garlic. You can use…

Chili Chicken With Pan-Fried Boiled Eggs
The title might put you off a bit, but please don’t go yet! I promise it is worth it. I love Chinese cuisine, but did you know there is a unique variety of Indo-Chinese or Indianized Chinese dishes? Yep, I am talking about the curry versions of chili chicken, chicken manchurian, or chili paneer, gobi…
Easy Meal – Vegetable Pulao And Stir Fry With Edamame
This meal was put together to please the guys in the house. A mild, colorful vegetable pulao for little Boy and a Chinese style stir fry for the hubby. It is easy and the only hands-on time needed is for chopping all those veggies. I am a big fan of edamame beans right now and…
