To give you an idea of what a legit Chinese eats on a regular day, let’s whip up a simple Chinese dinner meal, which includes two recipes. The Sichuan Peppercorn Chicken is poached to the perfect doneness and then mixed with a mouth-watering sauce. We will turn the chicken cooking broth into a steaming, hearty shanghai-style noodle soup. Both recipes are quick, easy, budget-friendly, and enough to feed a family of 3. If you want to see more of these quick, budget-friendly meals, let me know in the comments.

  1. LOVE how you wove in the summer goods: cold meat to keep, noodles made by the hot broth (gotta cook anyhow…). On a hot summer night outside, I would surely make this.

    Your lard appears to be natural lard. I can only imagine what underpinnings of delicious pork belly come through. I cook also with lard. I swear the unhealthy rumor is nothing more than how the word sounds.

    In the local Safeway, I discovered it pays to ask for good produce. They now stock flowering mini choy sum (buds unopened) and what I believe might actually be real Chinese Okra. Arlington Safeway blows my mind lately.

    I should ask for pork belly and camp at my mom's this summer. Living in an apartment, there is no way to make good lard and enjoy what we call 'chitlins': the twisted, perfectly rendered crisps of pigbelly perfection.

  2. This looks so tasty! I have a question, though. Could the noodles be boiled directly in the broth, or is there a reason you cooked them separately? When I cook, I try to minimize the number of dishes I have to clean.

  3. Do you have room for me? I'm so hungry.. I love the way you explain it and so enthusiastic about it. Chinese food is in my top 5 cuisines list close to the top. Thank you so much for working hard for this channel.
