Seaweed Soup
Simple, fast and one of Alli’s favorite dishes. She demanded the recipe when she was probably about 12 and started making it herself. Adding more ingredients just ruins it.
-
Sesame Paste Sauce
Great Asian sauce to put on pasta, chicken, eggplant, or anything else you’ve got a mind to.
-
Red Cooked Chicken
I don’t remember which Chinese cookbook I got this from, but it’s easy, unusual, and delicious. Your guests won’t have tasted anything like it and you’ll get lots of compliments.

Chicken with Hoisin Sauce
This is a classic from Mrs. Chiang’s Szechwan Cookbook. It’s pretty easy and everyone loves it. As with most Chinese dishes, it helps to have a sharp knife and be comfortable with it.
