60 Chinese Takeout Recipes You Can Make at Home
As I’m writing this it has been about 2 months since the world shut down and things we took for granted like our favorite Chinese takeout were pushed out of our reach. Well, I don’t know about you, but I have been craving Chinese for weeks now. So, I finally decided that enough was enough and I started collecting recipes for takeout style foods. Now I want to share those collections with you. I decided to start with Chinese takeout recipes because, aside from fast food and pizza, Chinese is the most popular takeout in the world!
In the future, I’ll be adding more to my takeout recipes you can make at home series and I’ll list them for you here.

Chinese Takeout Appetizers
I’m going to come out and admit it, I am a sucker for dumplings. I love all kinds of dumplings and honestly, to me, they are the best part of Chinese cuisine…possibly any cuisine! One of these days I’m going to do a dumpling roundup from around the world. But for now, they make up the bulk of the Chinese takeout appetizer recipes I’ve collected.

Chinese Takeout Fried Rice at Home
Fried rice is the basis for any good Chinese takeout meal, but what you like inside it depends entirely on what you’re accustomed to. That’s why you can’t have just one fried rice recipe. I also included a chow mein recipe at the end. The recipe is designed to allow you to put any meat in that you want, so it didn’t really fit into any of the categories that follow.

Chinese Takeout Beef Recipes
Some of the best beef Chinese recipes that I’ve found are broccoli beef, I’m not entirely sure why that is. Maybe it’s a favorite? Or maybe because it’s just so easy to make. Either way, I am always on the hunt for more beef recipes.
