You don't need to order take-out or head to your favorite Chinese restaurant every time you get a yen for Fried Rice or Sweet and Sour Pork. Here are twelve of my favorite Chinese restaurant recipes that you can make at home:

1. Spring Rolls

Spring RollsRhonda Parkinson
Spring rolls have their origins in the annual Spring festival celebrating the return of Spring. The first spring rolls featured vegetables from the harvest; meat was added later. This spring roll recipe contains Chinese barbecued pork.

2. Egg Rolls

Egg rolls are made with thicker wrappers than spring rolls.

3. Egg Drop Soup

Also known as Egg Flower Soup, this is the popular dish in which lightly beaten eggs are streamed into the broth at the very end.

4. Wonton Soup

The word wonton means "swallowing clouds," and the plump pork-filled wontons in this soup do resemble clouds. To make the dish, wonton wrappers are filled with ground pork and seasonings, boiled, and then added to chicken broth or stock for a final heating.

5. Beef With Broccoli

How do restaurant chefs get the beef so tender in this dish? They “velvet” the meat in hot oil before combining it with broccoli in an oyster-flavored sauce.

6. Sweet and Sour Pork

The sauce is the star of the show in this dish. Most versions use pineapple juice and combine it with vinegar, sugar, ketchup or tomato paste and pineapple chunks, green bell pepper and shredded carrot. The warmed sauce is poured over pork cubes that have been coated with batter and deep-fried.

7. Ginger Beef

8. Kung Pao Chicken

11. Candied Banana Fritters

Have you ever had banana fritters? This recipe goes one step further â€" the deep-fried pieces of banana are dipped in caramelized sugar and then in ice water to harden. You'll also find this popular Chinese restaurant dessert called "Toffee Bananas."

12. Mango Pudding

This simple pudding features the indescribable flavor of mangoes. This recipe is from the HeartSmart series, and uses evaporated milk instead of fresh cream to reduce the fat.
