There's one food I'll always cherish, no matter what: crab rangoon. I remember my best friend and I loading up on crab rangoon at our favorite Chinese restaurant when we were in high school and college. It was always our favorite part of the buffet, and we would savor every last creamy bite. My best… Continue reading Crab Rangoon Casserole

Quick! Tell me your go-to Chinese takeout order! If you're thrown on the spot, I bet a lot of you say chicken fried rice. My favorite takeout order? Lo mein and hot and sour soup.

General Tso’s-Style Ground Chicken
If you love making your own Chinese food at home, stick around until the end. It's -2 degrees here in Oklahoma and it's now been more than a week since I left the house. The Mobile Meals program I volunteer with has been closed. I'm working from home so I don't need to drive into… Continue reading General Tso’s-Style Ground Chicken
Chicken & Edamame Fried Rice
I've got this extreme craving for Chinese food right now. I'm normally always craving Chinese, but even more so now. It probably doesn't help watching Chinese food TikToks in my spare time. We're saving almost every last penny to pay for closing costs on our house, so we can't eat out or order takeout right… Continue reading Chicken & Edamame Fried Rice
Sesame Noodle Bowls
Do you ever get those random hunger pangs for something so oddly specific that you don't know if you even really like that thing at all? I do. Almost everyday. That weird craving struck me over the weekend. My most desired object? Edamame. I don't regularly eat it. I don't even really like it that… Continue reading Sesame Noodle Bowls
Asian Chicken Noodle Soup
It's one of those days where I had to drag myself out of bed. I'm not feeling great, and snoozing my alarm four times didn't help matters much at all. I'm trying to get this coffee to perk me up now so I can go on about my day with a clear mind. Here's hoping… Continue reading Asian Chicken Noodle Soup
Kung Pao Chicken
When we visited Bozeman, Montana this summer Rob and I stumbled upon a cute and quirky little spice shop. I loaded up with all the spice blends that smelled the best (an incredible garlic and herb one, plus Italian seasoning) and then got things I needed but couldn't easily find in OKC (aji amarillo chile… Continue reading Kung Pao Chicken
Extra Pepper Chicken
Chinese takeout fills a really important niche in my life. If I'm feeling down, or feeling homebound, ordering Chinese will instantly put me in a good mood. We've got a ton of quick Chinese takeout spots around the city, and I usually don't order from the same one twice. I'll switch between Singapore noodles (curry… Continue reading Extra Pepper Chicken
20-Minute Moo Shu Chicken Tacos
Moo Shu is something that I've never had before in my life. It's not a staple of American-Chinese restaurants in Oklahoma or Texas. I believe it's mainly an East coast thing; brought over by Chinese immigrants and exploding in popularity in the 1960's. The dish never really made it past the Mississippi River. I've seen… Continue reading 20-Minute Moo Shu Chicken Tacos
30 Minute Cashew Chicken
Whip together a Chinese classic. It's better than takeout, cheaper, and probably quicker, too! Cashew chicken has all those great flavors mixed together: cashews, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and more.
