    Flavorful Chinese Restaurant-Style Recipes You Can Make at Home

    Chinese food in Pakistan isn’t quite the same as the real thing; it’s more of a cultural offshoot developed to cater to Pakistani tastes. But the general cultural nuances remain — if perhaps in a more deep-fried form. Whether or not this cuisine can really be called “Chinese” is a subject for debate, but at least we can all agree on calling it “delicious.” You don’t need to order take-out or head to your favorite Chinese restaurant every time you get a yen for Fried Rice or Chinese Soup or Sweet and Sour Chicken.
    Below are a few staples of foods found on Chinese menus across the country. Soon enough, you’ll be replicating your favorite dishes right in your own kitchen!

    Chinese Restaurant-Style Recipes You Can Make at Home

    11. Beef and Broccoli  – One of the original favorites! Didn’t think I would forget this one, did you? How do restaurant chefs get the beef so tender in this dish? They “velvet” the meat in hot oil before combining it with broccoli in an oyster-flavored sauce.

    12. Sweet and Sour Chicken  – My new favorite (shh…don’t tell  Chicken Manchurian I am totally cheating on it!) The sauce is the star of the show in this dish. Most versions use pineapple juice and combine it with vinegar, sugar, ketchup or tomato paste and pineapple chunks, green bell pepper and pineapple chunks. The warmed sauce is poured over chicken cubes that have been coated with batter and deep-fried.
