Chinese Takeout Cookbook: Favorite Chinese Restaurant Recipes You Can Really Make at Home

Want to cook real Chinese food at home? This cookbook makes it easy with simple step-by-step recipes straight from Chinese kitchens to yours. Each recipe comes with tips and tricks that restaurants use but don't tell anyone about. From spicy Sichuan chicken to sweet and sticky beef, you'll learn to make all your takeout favorites.

The recipes are written in plain English with ingredients you can find at your local store. You'll learn cool tricks like how freezing meat makes it easier to slice, or how toasting peanuts makes them extra crunchy. Each recipe also comes with a fun story about where the dish comes from and why people love it.

You don't need fancy tools - just basic pots, pans, and a wok if you have one. Most dishes take 30 minutes or less to make. There are recipes for everything: quick weeknight dinners, party food, soups, noodles, rice dishes, and even some vegetarian options. Whether you like mild flavors or spicy food that makes your tongue tingle, you'll find something here that makes you hungry.

We've tested these recipes hundreds of times to make sure they work in home kitchens. They're written so clearly that even if you've never cooked Chinese food before, you'll get great results the first time.
