Karen says
What a roundup of dishes and great timing as well. I'm planning on making shrimp fried rice later this week and so many of these dishes would go well.
Fine Dining at Home (@fdathome) says
They all look amazing, Bam. I don't know where to start.
Abbe @ This is How I Cook says
Wow! I do a lot of stir fry and can't wait to try some of these. And thanks for the compliment about my photo. I only wish they were all so "worthy". The last three have been turned down! You only get a moment of fame!
Lea Ann (Cooking On The Ranch) says
I love a good stir fry and they're so good for weeknights. Great line up, pinning.
Anna @ shenANNAgans says
I'll take one of all of them! Yarm. I love asian food, and a stir-fry seems to be the go to feed for a quick and healthy mid week eat. Gonna have a go at ginger beef with noodles tonight. 🙂
Healthy World Cuisine says
Stir fry is also my go to recipe when I open up my refrigerator wondering what to make with endless combinations, aromatics and sauces you could eat every work week day for years to come and still not covered all the options. Wishing you a super weekend!
Dawn says
Awesome recipes BAM!!
nancyc says
Yum–what a great collection! All of these dishes look so tasty!
shashi at runninsrilankan says
Aaaaaaaaannnnd now I want Chinese for dinner! I wish I could have all these dishes in one place and sample them all - they would make for one fantastic feast!
Healthy World Cuisine says
That would be the best! Most Chinese families will make 8 Chinese dishes (now thats lots of chopping and dicing for sure!) with many fish dishes as 8 is a lucky number. The word fish (yú) 鱼 and the word 余 (yú), means a surplus and sound the same so this means that you will have an extra prosperous year. Wishing you a very special and prosperous CNY!
Anu-My Ginger Garlic Kitchen says
This is such a fabulous collection of stir-fry dishes, Bobbi. Love how colorful, flavorful and full of good health they are. Love all of them! 🙂
Healthy World Cuisine says
Thank you Anu, wishing you a super week!
Monica says
What a lucky roundup of 18 mouthwatering Chinese dishes, Bam! I have so much to learn here. Thanks for spreading the word and so much knowledge of Chinese food. Things must be lively where you are now. For us, it's snowing...but we're looking forward to getting together with family this weekend for the New Year! Happy year of the Monkey!!
Healthy World Cuisine says
It is beyond lively in HK and there are just way too many people here for CNY! It makes it impossible to do anything other than stay in with family and friends. So I am looking forward to making dishes at home with my family. Gung Hei Fat Choy!
Tandy | Lavender and Lime says
when I can stand the heat of the gas again I will tackle some of these 🙂
HapaNomNom says
Wonderful round-up of dishes, Bobbi! When are they going to create taste-o-vision! (Grr) 😛 Thanks for including me, xo!
Healthy World Cuisine says
Thank you for always making so many delicious dishes. We need those teenagers to get started on the newest technology for taste-o-vision prototype. Wishing you a very safe and happy Chinese New Year!
Eha says
Well, in contrast to KR, I make about 3-4 stirfries a week either for lunch or dinner! Easy, fast, tasty, cheap in using up ingredients they simply can't be faulted 🙂 ! Each one different . . . . and what a gorgeous choice you have presented . . . as soon as the workday allows shall be back here to look up both the recipes and a few blogs presenting such which I do not know! Bobbi - you have made my day, especially after a fortnight in hospital and still not quite up to long sessions in the kitchen!
Healthy World Cuisine says
Hello Eha, Oh goodness I certainly hope that you are on recovery soon. Ok here is the deal we are going to make the year of the monkey a year of better health and positive change for all. How does that sound to you? I wish I lived closer Eha as I would whip up a few of these stir fry dishes to help you through the week. I hope your neighbors are taking good care of you. Take Care
kitchenriffs says
Some great dishes! We haven't been cooking much Asian food the last few years -- gotta change that! And of course right now is the perfect time of the year to do so. Thanks for this.
Healthy World Cuisine says
Thanks John! When I used to live in the States, I always used to make loads of Asian dishes but now that we are here it makes it even easier. All of those fresh veggies at the market make for awesome stir fried dishes. Wishing you a super weekend!
