Chinese Take Out Recipes at home!
Yes, even in this house, on occasion, we succumb to a quick Chinese take out dinner at home. Such was the case just this week.
With guests arriving from the mainland and our son Noah returning to university in Nova Scotia, we were incredibly busy.
So, Spouse and I ordered a couple of dishes for delivery, just last night. A quick meal was what we wanted but the “quick” part was the issue.
It took almost 90 minutes for delivery right in our own neighbourhood!
I joked to Spouse that we could have cooked it, eaten it and had the dishwasher loaded in that time! Funnier still is the fact it was likely very true.
We have quite a number of recipes in the Chinese take-out favourites category, so I decided to highlight some of them here for our followers.
So, if you’re looking for quick weeknight dinners or a complete Chinese buffet meal, these recipes will fit the bill perfectly!
