Glazed Sweet & Sour Orange Chicken (..with a surprise for vegetarians!)
We carnivores are all familiar with the world-famous ‘Orange Chicken’ from Panda Express. OMG how do they make that sauce so so tasty. All the flavours are just perfect! Not a bit under or over. PEERRRRRRRRFECT!! I am a big fan of sweet & sour tomato based gravies and with the help of multiple Youtube…
Hot & Crispy Veggie Spring Rolls
What is your most favorite starter listed in your local Chinese restaurant’s menu card? If your answer is not Spring rolls/Egg rolls, then sorry….wrong answer. Who can skip ordering Spring rolls when ordering Chinese food? They are soooo good. Flavourful filling of vegetables, noodles and if you wish, meat…wrapped in a crispy, crackly skin.. fried…
Chinese Veggie Lo mein noodles!
As a huge lover of Chinese food, steaming hot noodles laden with vegetables do something to my foodie soul. I see them and no one can control what happens next…..I grab a plate and pile it high with a humongous stack of that deliciousness. In goes my fork….*twirl twirl twirl* and I am soon transformed…
Hot & Saucy Veg. Lollipops!
Today’s recipe is very, very close to my heart. In all our lives, there are some foods that are extremely nostalgic to us! Maybe it’s the ‘vada-pao’ from that vendor who sat across the street from your college, where you used to spend all your breaks with your friends….or maybe it’s that simple tomato and…
The Sensational Kung-pao Potatoes
By now, you all know about my obsession with the Chinese food. So, most of the weekends, it is a safe bet to presume that for dinner, we will be having the fried-rice or the noodles, along with a spicy, tangy chinese stir-fry. 9 times out of ten, the star of these stir-fries is chicken,…
Fusion Fiesta: Fiery & Loaded Baked Schezwan Nachos
My first encounter with nachos dates back to the time when the first PVR theater opened up in my small, lovely town Indore. I do not remember the movie I had gone to watch, but I do remember the scrawny guy at the snack counter saying- “We have Samosa and we have Nachos” I did not…
Glossy & Flavoursome Veggie Dim Sums! (Made from scratch)
Call them Dim sums, call them Momos or call them dumplings– it’s one and the same thing! In India, we stick to the Tibetan term Momos and it is a wildly popular street-food in most cities. Here, I am using the Chinese term- ‘Dim sum’, simply as it is more universally recognized. Steamed food is…
Favorite Meaty Street-food- Tangy & Spicy Chilly Chicken!
We Indians have a different version of ‘Chinese’ that apparently first originated in the vibrant city of Kolkata. It’s called as – “Indo-chinese” cuisine! So, outside of India, if a newly-migrated Indian tells you that they are extremely fond of Chinese food, you can safely assume that they are not talking about your traditional Chinese…
Vibrant and healthy Vegetable Chowmein!
First my mum, and now my husband is waiting for the time when I will outgrow my fondness for noodles. I tell them that they are wasting their time because THAT IS NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN. I love noodles sooo much that I am sure I will be munching away at them even when I…
Healthy Chicken Fried Rice
Fried rice is my no. 1 comfort food! It’s equal parts healthy, tasty and amazinggg! Whenever I am not in a mood to cook something too extensive, I just peek into my fridge for leftover veggies and do a quick stir-fry of them with rice and sauces. I also love the fact that one can make a mind-boggling variety…
