Chinese Food Chinese Food Easy Recipes Classic Chinese Recipes Wok Cooking Basics From Rhonda Parkinson, your Guide to Chinese Food This week, a refreshing smoothie made with kiwifruit, along with butter prawns, a shrimp and vegetable stir-fry, bananas in cinnamon coconut sauce and an easy stir-fry sauce for vegetables. Kiwi Smoothie Although it's now associated with New Zealand, kiwi fruit is native to parts of northern and eastern China. This refreshing kiwi smoothie pairs fresh kiwi with the nutty flavor of tahini paste (you can substitute peanut butter if needed). Sea Scallops With Ginger Scallion Sauce Here's something a little different - sea scallops are quickly poached in oil, then served with a ginger scallion sauce. Flowering Chives Stir-fry Now that the warm weather has arrived, you may have noticed these delicate chives in the produce section of your local supermarket. Flowering chives are the most popular type of Chinese garlic chive - their distinctive flavor goes nicely with everything from shrimp to noodles. The yellow buds on flowering chives make an attractive garnish, and are edible. Five-spice Chicken Here is another great recipe for the grill - chicken thighs are marinated in a soy sauce-based marinade with five-spice powder, fresh ginger and other seasonings. Leftovers would make a great sandwich, served between slices of crusty bread, or you can use them to make chicken Lettuce Wraps.
