Most restaurants make pork fried rice with barbecued meat; Andrew Carmellini uses both seared ground pork and sweet, aromatic Chinese sausage in his playful version. As an alternative to Chinese sausage, substitute thick matchsticks of lean maple-cured bacon.

Chinese Poached Chicken Breasts with Star Anise

Chinese Poached Chicken Breasts with Star Anise
Go to Recipe

Chicken breasts poached in a broth flavored with star anise, cinnamon, ginger, scallions, and soy sauce is a Chinese classic. Traditionally you would save, not serve, the broth—it improves each time you use it—but we can never resist serving it with the chicken as a light sauce. If you like, boil noodles separately and add them to the broth for a meal in a dish.

Salt-and-Pepper Squid with Chinese Five-Spice Powder

Go to Recipe

Wendy Leon gives this classic Chinese squid dish a fun twist by flavoring it with five-spice powder (typically a ground mixture of cinnamon, star anise, black peppercorns, fennel and clove). "It's her version of a Super Bowl snack," says her son Humberto. "Most kids eat chips; we grew up eating squid."

Honey-Glazed Spareribs

Honey-Glazed Spareribs
Go to Recipe

These crispy, sweet-and-spicy pork spareribs are a particularly good example of what’s so great about using a pressure cooker. Pork spareribs typically require very slow cooking—usually braising—to tenderize them before grilling. A pressure cooker does that braising in a fraction of the time.

Chicken Hot Pot with Mushrooms and Tofu

Chicken Hot Pot with Mushrooms and Tofu
Go to Recipe

Hot pots are usually served communally, setting a big pot of bubbling broth on the table alongside a platter of raw ingredients (like vegetables and thinly sliced chicken) for dipping. It's a fun way for guests to feel like they have a hand in making their own meal. In his version, Ethan Stowell gives each person at the table an individual bowl of sliced mushrooms, tofu and scallions, then adds piping hot chicken broth loaded with chunks of tender cooked chicken.

Cold Peanut-Sesame Noodles

Cold Peanut-Sesame Noodles
Go to Recipe

The secret to Andrew Zimmern's cold noodle recipe, inspired by the ones he had in China's Sichuan province, is the oil that gets drizzled on top. Made with chiles, Sichuan peppercorns and lots of spices, its flavor is called Ma La (“numbing and spicy”).

A simple sauce of garlic, hot pepper, sherry, wine vinegar, and tomato, adds intense flavor to this quick stir-fry and it practically makes itself while the chicken and cabbage cook. Steamed rice is an ideal accompaniment.
