I love Chinese food! I wish I could eat more of it. There’s so many different kinds that I love to eat. Probably one of my favorites is sweet-and-sour chicken with an egg roll and egg drop soup.

I LOVE Chinese takeout even though it is so bad for me. This is a great round-up! I’m probably going to try the “rivals” The Cheesecake Factory salad. We’re heading up there (an hour drive…so worth it) on half price cheesecake day 🙂

Thanks for putting all these delicious recipes in ONE place. I think I’d love to try the Slimming World Best Ever Chinese Chicken in the Slow Cooker and Instant Pot Chinese Beef & Beans from Recipe This. I have never made any Chinese food in my crockpot and I use my crockpot a lot and I’m always on the hunt for new crockpot recipes.

We are big fans of Chinese food in our house, but I hate spending the money on it! I can’t wait to try these recipes at home!

DoriaJuly 19, 2017 - 11:16 am

We love Asian food in general (I’m half-Japanese) so I know a bunch of these would go over really well in our household 🙂 I’ll have to try a few of these with gluten-free substitutions (I’m allergic to wheat) 🙂
