An easy recipe using sugar, rice vinegar, soy sauce and ketchup.
One of my most popular recipes, and well worth the bit of extra effort it takes to steam the broccoli and velvet the beef in hot oil before bringing them together in the wok to be coated in a flavorful oyster-sauce-based gravy.

Another classic comfort dish â€" marinated strips of chicken are paired with an assortment of stir-fried vegetables, including bok choy, celery, red bell pepper and mushrooms in an flavorful sauce. Chow mein is very adaptable - you can substitute whatever vegetables you have on hand and use pork or shrimp instead of chicken.
This recipe, from a Chinese cooking instructor, uses red rice vinegar â€" you’ll also find many versions calling for black rice vinegar.
Vegetarian Hot and Sour Soup - feel free to add in some fried tofu or seitan

Fun to make and even more fun to eat, these tasty dumplings are pan-fried on one side, steamed, and served with the burnt side on top.
