It’s Chinese New Year on Tuesday 5th February!! Why not skip the take-out and make these tastier versions in your own home instead! These are my favourite recipes for Chinese New Year!
Updated for 2019 with some of my favourite Chinese-inspired recipes!
We may not take part in a lot of the traditional Chinese New Year activities such as lighting firecrackers and red paper decorations, but we do love to make our own homemade Chinese banquet.
I love Chinese take-out as much as anyone, but it’s so easy to make some great Chinese dishes that are quicker, healthier and tastier.
Here are some of the favourites I make at home:
My copycat recipe of that Panda Express favourite – ready in 20 minutes!

Oh yum, Nicky! The crispy chili beef looks like a winner. And thanks for including my Lemon Honey Glazed Lamb.
Thanks Elizabeth, the chilli beef is so good. It’s always the first thing my husband chooses when I ask him what he wants for dinner. You lamb looks gorgeous, I can’t wait to try it.
That pulled duck has my mouth watering at 8:30 in the morning. Is it weird to have duck for breakfast? 😉 Thank you so much for the mention.
Ha ha, well i’d eat duck for breakfast no problem 🙂 Love those egg rolls!
