Char Siu Fried Ribs
This recipe originates from one of my favorite blogs, Woks of Life, with the addition of a glaze. If you haven't explored their site yet, I highly recommend it—they offer a treasure trove of information on Cantonese and Chinese cooking. These ribs tend to disappear quickly when I put them on the table—they are crispy yet tender. Plus, I brush them with a glaze similar to the makings of char sui.

Squash blossoms are summer’s ultimate treat. Use a tempura-like batter to fry them and preserve their delicate squash flavor.
Flakey Scallion Pancakes
If tortillas are to Mexican food culture, then scallion pancakes are the Chinese equivalent.
Cold, Triple Onion Dippy
Prepare the breath mints for this one. It’s got loads of onion flavor and beats of the other onion dips that come in a jar. It’s great with the classic Ruffles chips, fresh flat bread or even on a steak.
