Tasty Chinese

Thread Starter: foodieloon    Started: Mon 18 Jul 2005    Replies: 3

I seem to be having an oriental moment of late, and I am tending to buy ready meals and/or jars and jazz them up. I would like to cook something from scratch, however I lack time, and ingredients (small kitchen, no cash) - I have soy, sesame oil and chilli sauce. Everything I try is either bland or so spicy you cant taste the food. I guess it is all down to our old friend MSG. Any advice? Also my Chow Mein never tastes anything like the restaurant one. Help! Confused

Foodieloon, Chinese cooking does not have to take time ,effort or lots of cash.There are hundreds of wonderful chinese cook books out there.However, can I recommend as a simple starting point,a very old favourite 'Quick and Easy Chinese Cooking' by Kenneth Lo. I've just checked on Amazon and it is still available. Sweet and Sour Pork in 15mins. brilliant!!
