Our family loves Asian flavors. One of our favorite splurges is a Panda Feast. And while I have perfected some copy cat meals, Chinese food is not one I’ve excelled at. I can do Potsticker Dipping Sauce and Summer Rolls, but that’s about it. Traditionally, I am a chinese food fail. So, I jumped at the chance to review some Asian seasonings from SunBird.
Since our family is trying to include more whole grains in our diet, it worked out perfectly that one of the seasonings I received was for the Fried Rice. Fried Rice is made with cold cooked rice, something very easy to do since we’re eating rice often these days. I simply cooked twice as much one day and refrigerated the rest. Other ingredients needed included green onions, soy sauce, oil, and eggs. The packet recipe also called for green peas. I know that would have made it more authentic, but since my family doesn’t like green peas, I decided we could live without it.
I loved the simplicity of this recipe. Heat oil in a pan. Add cold rice and green onions. Saute and add seasoning packet and soy sauce. After stir frying, add in the beaten eggs and scramble-cook those. Easy as can be.
The result was a tasty side dish to accompany marinated, grilled chicken, and stirfried broccoli. It was interesting to hear the family’s responses to this side dish. We don’t normally order fried rice when eating out, so it was a new taste for many of the children. The picky eaters didn’t care for it. But that is to be expected. That is why I call them my picky eaters! My adventurous eaters loved it and kept asking for more. Hubs said that it reminded him of Rice-a Roni, “but not in a bad way.” I liked it, but it didn’t taste exactly like I remembered take out fried rice tasting. It was good, regardless. I’m looking forward to trying the other spices we received. And for those of you with gluten concerns, I think you’ll be impressed with the number of gluten-free products they produce.

I love love love all kinds of Asian dishes. LOL.. I LOVE sushi, plain fried rice, WON TON SOUP(YES), and, of course …”Chef’s special shrimp”…I also would not turn down rice noodle, egg foo young, pot stickers, egg drop soup, or sweet and sour chicken…and you know those crab rangoon things? Those too.. LOL
And, spring rolls…not the fried kinds, though… Man, is that enough? hahaha
[Reply]
My favorite Chinese food is orange chicken from Panda!!
[Reply]
I love chinese food…a little too much. But my favorite dish is always general tso’s chicken…or sweet and sour chicken…or anything chicken. OHH I love wontons too…cream cheese..okay I have to order out now!
[Reply]
I love sunbird! I personally enjoy the szechwan chicken (just the right amount of heat) and the general Tso’s. For fried rice, I like their seasoning, but I find adding about a tablespoon of hoisoin sauce (found in the asian section of any grocery store) really makes it more asian in flavor and color. Plus you can now get hoisoin in all natural, no msg!
I love fried rice, lo mein noodles, and pretty much all of the asian main courses.
[Reply]
i haven’t been brave enough to try asian foods at home, but there’s a super buffet in atmore al!!!!

Crab Rangoon!
[Reply]
My favorite is Hot and Sour Soup. Since no one else in the family likes it, I don’t have to share my order. Plus, they are too busy fighting over the steamed dumplings!

I lOve sunbird stir fry sauce!! We use it all the time. I use cubbed chicken add the veggies and towards the end I add some cashews! An awesome dinner and great way to use the leftover celery and carrots.
[Reply]
Chicken and Garlic sauce – add extra mushroms!
[Reply]
I totally luv me some Generals Chicken & Fried Rice.
YUM!
Thanks for the chance to win!
[Reply]
My all time favorite Chinese dish is Almond Chicken, but not the breaded chicken with a gravy and almonds over top. I go 45 minutes from home to get the BEST Almond Chicken in the world! It’s made like a stir fry and is to die for! LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT!
[Reply]
I love broccoli chicken, yummmm!
[Reply]
I make stir fry at least once a week. I use whatever veggies and protein we have in he fridge. i don’t make fried rice, but would like to try it. Thanks for the chance.
[Reply]
I really like asian foods. We make pepper steaks and sweet and sour chicken at home. I also make homemade fried rice, but it is never quite the same as out – perhaps the spices are the differences.
Thanks for the chance to win.
[Reply]
Fried rice is my favorite.
[Reply]
I love it all so it’s hard to narrow it down. I guess I’d go with the horribly fattening beef dish where beef strips are breaded (not batttered), fried, and then coated in a sticky, sweet and very hot sauce (sometimes orange flavored..sometimes not).
[Reply]
Everyone in my family like egg drop soup and on our monthly menu at least twice we have some sort of stir fry. The favorite is beef and vegetables served over a bed of rice.
[Reply]
I love Asian food too! Chinese and Japanese are my favorite. I’d have to say General Tso’s Chicken is my favorite but I don’t get to make it at home since my children and hubs don’t like the spicy flavor. I’d love to try that Fried Rice recipe…bet it would be good to disguise brown rice too!
sweetdarlin25(at)yahoo(dot)com
[Reply]
I love General Tso’s chicken, Sweet N Sour chicken and Orange chicken! YUM! Thanks for the chance to win this giveaway!!
[Reply]
I love love chicken fried rice and orange chicken! Yummy!
[Reply]
Kung Pao chicken (extra spicy!) and crab rangoons are my standard Chinese takeout order. Yum, it’s only 8:30 AM and it’s making me hungry…
[Reply]
When I had my second baby, someone brought me divine homemade Beef and Broccoli over brown rice. I still get cravings for it!
[Reply]
I love any kind of stiry fry, the picture of stir fry they have on their website looks super yummy!
[Reply]
My favorite Chinese food is Sweet and Sour Chicken, Eggrolls, and Fried Rice. Yum!!!
[Reply]
I didn’t have chinese food until I was an adult. My husband taught me how to make fried rice, but it never comes out like our favorite take-out place makes it. I’m sure its the seasoning, can’t wait to find this in the store and give it a try. Thanks for the giveaway!
[Reply]
Favorite of all time is their stir fry plain and simple the more veggies the better!
[Reply]
My favorite is sweet and sour chicken! I have used these seasonings in the past and liked them.
[Reply]
I love anything teriyaki. Especially veggies. They are so good. We try to do something Asian-inspired at least once a week….it is a great way to get in some extra vegetables. This is an awesome giveaway. I hope I win!
[Reply]
Can I say “all of it”. I love Sesame Chicken and any kind of Asian Dumplings. But, I really love all of it!
clarksrfun at gmail dot com
[Reply]
I love steamed steamed vegetable dumplings, steamed in soy sauce. I would love to recreate this recipe at home!
[Reply]
Shrimp fried rice has always been my favorite.
[Reply]
*dipped* in soy sauce
[Reply]
Sushi is my fav, but I’m also a chicken and broccoli stir-fry kind of gal.
[Reply]
My favorite Chinese dish is MooShu Chicken. Mmmmm.
[Reply]
Sesame chicken! I could live on the stuff.
[Reply]
My family loves General Tso’s Chicken. I found a cheap way to make it with a frozen bag of bourbon chicken then added a general tso’s sauce to taste with a side of broccoli. I love fried rice.
[Reply]
I LOVE Asian food. Right now my favorite is Almond Chicken. It is the absolute BEST. In fact, we are going out to lunch today for my son’s birthday and I already know what I am going to order!
[Reply]
I love stir fry tomato and eggs. I first had it while I was studying abroad in China and fell in love with it there.
[Reply]
I love orange chicken. Thanks for the chance.
[Reply]
My family loves fried rice. Sweet and sour pork is great too.
[Reply]
We love chicken and broccoli and veggie lo mein! Yum!!
[Reply]
I love Asian food! Scallion pancakes & fried rice are my favorite make-at-home Chinese food meal. In fact, we had fried rice last night (with leftover beans & rice). It’s a great way to get veggies in my kids — slivered carrots, frozen peas (even corn or beans or asparagus have made it in our wok), and onion is the standby. I’d love to try the seasoning packets since mine doesn’t taste exactly like takeout but I attribute that to the lower amount of oil I use than a restaurant. Trying to keep it healthy, ya’ know.
[Reply]
My favorite is definitely sesame chicken over fried rice. Yum! Now I’m hungry for some Chinese food….
[Reply]
My family loves spicy garlic chicken. I have also had many failed attempts at making my own Chinese food. I would love to win this!
[Reply]
My favorite dish is Mongolian Beef. I am really excited they offer gluten-free products as well
[Reply]
My favorite Chinese dish is orange chicken, but I think you must have been reading my mind- last night I put a bunch of leftover rice in the fridge and told myself I needed to figure out how to use it to make fried rice so it wouldn’t go to waste!
[Reply]
My favorite- EGG ROLLS!
I am with you though… I can’t cook chinese very well. I have Cambodians neighbors and they cook wonderful things…and once they came over and gave us hot egg rolls…yum! I really should go ask for lessons!
[Reply]
I LOVE Chinese food and I’m so glad I’m not the only one to have not yet mastered it. Maybe if I win this giveaway, I will be able to get a little closer to my goal of eliminating our take-out habit!
[Reply]
My favorite Chinese food is Orange Chicken…so good. And while I like Chinese food, my husband loves it, so he would be incredibly excited if I were to win this. Thanks for the giveaway!
[Reply]
I’d have to say Kung Pao Chicken hands down. When we use to eat out my husband always ordered Kung Pao Chicken and my daughter and I always got chicken chow mein. When we stopped eating out my husband was craving the kung pao so he asked me to recreate it. So I found a copy cat recipe for P.F. Chang’s Kung Pao and it was soooo good. The nice thing about it is with the exception of the green onions (which sometimes I omit) everything else is a basic pantry item of ours so we have it on the menu often.
[Reply]
I love General Tso’s (not authentically Chinese, i know) and Sesame chicken. Also, pork fried rice and egg rolls. MMM..I’m hungry now!
[Reply]
We love fried rice. It is one dish just about everyone will eat.
[Reply]
I like all kinds of Asian foods. Maybe beef & broccoli or the chicken lettuce wraps from PF Changs.
[Reply]
This makes me want to get some Chinese take-out today! My favorite is chicken fried rice.
[Reply]
Love orange chicken from Panda! I love lo mein more than rice. I love beef and broc. I adore egg drop soup. I guess I just love Chinese food!
[Reply]
We love fried rice. Last time I made it I just did some cinnamon and ginger.
[Reply]
I LOVE Chinese food! Any kind! Egg rolls, General Chicken, beef broccoli, etc. Mmm, mmm! I’d love to be able to make easy chinese at home.
[Reply]
We like lots of Chinese…Sweet and Sour, Teryaki,…
[Reply]
I love fried rice, but I never order it because of the peas–your fried rice looks yummy! When I order Chinese food, I usually get orange chicken or sweet and sour chicken.
[Reply]
I love pan-fried rice noodles with beef, a Cantonese-style dish. Not healthy, but so stinkin’ good!!
[Reply]
So many, how to pick? Fried rice, beef with broccoli, garlic chicken, potstickers…
[Reply]
Favorite would be a cha siu bao (bbq pork bun).
[Reply]
veggie lo mein is my fave.
[Reply]
I love, love, love beef pepper steak and wor su gai. I’m sure there would be others I would like, but I love these so much, I rarely pass up the opportunity to have them! Thanks for the giveaway!
[Reply]
Wonton soup! The place by my house has dumplings, all kinds of veggies, shrimp, and the most delicious broth ever… and it’s fairly healthy, too!
[Reply]
Our favorite is chicken and broccoli.
[Reply]
I try to be a healthy girl, but I’m addicted to fried food. And my Chinese food preference fall right in line: fried rice, won tons, egg rolls. But truthfully I love it all. Haven’t had any chinese food I I don’t like.
[Reply]
My favorites are egg fried rice and potstickers aka pan fried dumplings. I think I could eat those every day!
[Reply]
Chicken Lo Mein. Definately. We also make fried rice regularly…without eggs b/c of a food allergy. But we add in the peas…only when Dad isn’t around. He hates peas, too!
[Reply]
I love beef and broccoli! Cashew Chicken is another favorite.
[Reply]
I like stir fry, cram cheese wontons, fried rice, egg rolls, and potstickers. Yum!
[Reply]
My FAVORITE is sweet & sour chicken, but a close runner up is fried rice. Mmmmmm…good!!
[Reply]
I love Chinese food. I love it going out to eat and I also love to cook it at home. I stir fry chicken mushrooms and zuchinni, add some flour to thicken it up. Then on the side I cook the sun bird fried rice. It is our favorite. I have discovered the less salt soy sauce. i can’t taste the difference. Wonderful
[Reply]
Its always a toss up between orange chicken and sweet and sour pork. I’ve tried that fried rice mix before, we thought it was great!
[Reply]
I love teriyaki chicken with broccoli. My family LOVES Chinese food too! shondaet@gmail.com
[Reply]
Chicken Lo Mein is a favorite around here.
[Reply]
Around here, we LOVE chicken fried rice. I haven’t tried these seasoning packets before – will have to try them now!
[Reply]
My husband loves the general Tso’s chicken seasoning! I don’t really care for chinese food but I do eat fried rice so I may have to give that one a try next time I am at the store.
[Reply]
I am also a Panda Express fan – orange chicken or string bean chicken with chow mein. Yummy!
[Reply]
I use the Sun Bird fried rice spice but I add chicken to the rice. I love how simple and easy it is to make. When I go grocery shopping I usually but a few packets because they are so cheap, and it makes A LOT!!!
Blessings!
[Reply]
I love Chinese food period!! Fried rice is definitely a fave
[Reply]
Oh, yum. My all-time favorite is Hot and Sour Soup. I love ordering it wherever I go and sampling all the different recipes.
[Reply]
My favorite is fried rice….I could eat it all day long with nothing to accompany it. My husband always makes fun of me for eating so much rice, but I really don’t care, LOVE IT!!
[Reply]
My family loves sweet and sour, egg rolls, noodles… lo mein. I am hungry just thinking about it.

My favorite dish is Mongolian beef! Yum

My Dad once took a Chinese cooking class. He made the best homemade egg rolls and a dish called Moo Goo Gai Pan. In memory of Dad, I’d have to say my favorite is Moo Goo Gai Pan.

TEMPURA! You could pretty much tempura cardboard and I would eat it
I’d love to try their mixes. Thanks for the opportunity!

Mu shu pork is the special occasion favorite, and Kung Pao Chicken is the anytime favorite!

That’s hard, but I’d have to say pad thai.
[Reply]
mmm i love chinese food, and so does my husband! i really like hot & sour soup, and orange chicken, and sesame chicken, and pepper steak… mmm tasty! thanks for the chance to win
[Reply]
totally not fair! I’m in early labor at the hospital and since not much is happening yet and they haven’t let me eat for several hours, I’m starving! Please let me win so I can at least satisfy my cravings at some point in time!
[Reply]
Love Chinese! Egg Drop Soup, Pork Fried Rice, Vegetable Lo Mein and Cashew Chicken are all favorites. The husband loves just about everything including Pad Thai and most other Vietnamese dishes as well as Sushi.
[Reply]
I love cashew chicken but chicken fried rice is a close second. Chinese food is a special food in our family. It is a food for special one-on-one time with a family member or a special occasion food!
[Reply]
I love fried rice, but have never made it. Your post makes it look pretty easy. Maybe I’ll try it!
[Reply]
I love pretty much anything Asian, but I think my favorite is shrimp fried rice or General Tso’s Chicken. Yummy!
[Reply]
Family fave is General Tso’s chicken and I’ve never attempted to recreate the spice mix at home. What I fix at home is a fried rice – peas and scrambled egg dish that goes over well.
[Reply]
I’m a fan of kung pao chicken.
[Reply]
YUM YUM! Love Chinese Food!! Fried Rice ROCKS!! Love General Tsao’s, orange chicken, beef and brocoli and many others!
Melissa
[Reply]
I love the fried rice…my mom cooked this all the time when i was growing up!! Love it!!
[Reply]
I just looked at the seasoning list – what a great variety. I will definitely have to check my store to see how many types they have. My favorites are General Tso’s chicken, chicken on a stick and fried cheese wontons. I’m excited to try some healthier versions at home.
[Reply]
My favorite is Beef w/ broccoli, although it might not be such a bad idea to start cooking Broccoli w/ Beef! Either way, it’s tasty!
[Reply]
My husband and I both love General Tso’s Chicken (extra spicy).
[Reply]
I like Beef and broccoli….so good
[Reply]
I’ve actually used SunBird fried rice seasoning (the exact same package in your picture), and it was very good! I have a half-pack up in my cupboard still, waiting for when I have leftover white rice. I didn’t know they made sauces mixes, too!
I love Chicken Egg Foo Young. If they could somehow duplicate the sauce for that, that would be awesome. I also love Beef and Broccoli, Wonton soup, and egg rolls. And fried rice, of course.
Thank you for the giveaway!

My favorite chinese food is orange chicken and fried rice! I have tried serveral versions of fried rice but not found one that matches what the restaurants make so I am excited to try this if I win. Thanks so much!
[Reply]
Sesame Chicken, YUM YUM!!
[Reply]
Sweet and sour chicken and crab rangoon are my favorites! But I have love for many Asian dishes.
[Reply]
Dumplings, and I just recently took a class to learn how to make them!
[Reply]
There are lots of them that I love, but Cashew Chicken is probably my fave!
[Reply]
I love General Tso’s Chicken. I’ve tried several times to make it at home, but sadly I’ve failed each and every time. The results have always been edible , just not the same as take-out:(
[Reply]
Love ham fried rice, sweet and sour chicken and fried wontons!
[Reply]
Sushi! Or wonton soup!
TY!
[Reply]
I love Sesame chicken, though I’ve yet to find a make-at-home version that’s as good as the restaurant kind.
[Reply]
Everyone at our house loves Asian flavors. We eat chicken ponzu a couple times a month. I’ve never achieved the right flavor for fried rice and would love to try that out.
[Reply]
hands down crab rangoon
[Reply]
I love Orange Peel Tofu. Or chicken. Or shrimp. Orange peel anything is delicious!
[Reply]
General Tso’s chicken–deep fried spicy goodness–and crab wontons. I have a pretty good recipe for crab wontons that are baked (!!), hummm now I’m hungry.
[Reply]
We LOVE orange chicken!
[Reply]
Sweet and sour chicken is my all-time favorite Chinese food and of course, a side of egg rolls. Yum!

We all love pork fried rice with bok choy and its a great way to use up leftover pork roast!
[Reply]
Beef and broccoli and chicken in garlic sauce.
[Reply]
I love Asian food. But……the only thing I’ve tried to make is stir fry veggies. I don’t have the extra money ……….. if my family doesn’t like it, it goes to waste. I would love to win. I’m sure my family would love it… Thanks
[Reply]
My favorite is sweet and sour chicken. That is about all I can also get my husband to eat also. But it is oh so good.

[Reply]

I like fried rice and orange chicken.
[Reply]
I love Hot and Sour Soup and General Tso chicken. My husband is a fan of lemon chicken. We’re both big fans of sushi, but that’s no longer in the budget.
I make fried rice often and use frozen peas & carrots in it.
(I’d love to win this!)
[Reply]
Oh, just about any kind of Chinese food is my favorite! LOVE it! If I had to pick a favorite I guess I would say Tangerine Chicken and chow mein noodles.

Sesame chicken, hot and sour soup and chicken fried rice.

I love Moo Goo Gai Pan.
[Reply]
I have a house full of picky eaters. And I’m not just talking about my kids! My husband and my father (who lives with us) are both as picky as the kids! The ONE type of food that we all can agree on is Asian. Although, never the same dishes! Oh well, I try! My favorite is sweet and sour chicken and crab wontons (who doesn’t love warm, creamy cream cheese?). My husband loves General Tso something or another, one child only eats veggies and noodles or rice, so any stirf ry does him good. My older son loves broccoli beef. My father is a hot and sour soup and egg foo young fan. Of all these I only know how to make stir fry. This prize pack would really save us on the budget of having to order out for all this good stuff and will give me a chance to learn how to expand out of the stir fry rut! Thanks so much for a chance to win! Michelle (meep12@sbcglobal.net)

I love fried rice and the Sunbird recipe is the ONLY one I have ever had that turned out perfect. I LOVE their fried rice. The only problem I have is I make too much. Spaghetti and rice really get away from me, I always make too much of those.

First of all thanks so much for your blog!Even though I am not a stay at home mom I still use alot of your tricks and tips. And I love your recipes. We like fried rice. I make it with brown rice and just add the stuff we like. One thing I try to do is watch out for hidden sodium, so I kind of created my own version of fried rice without soy sauce. I would love to try this, though. I am beginning to teach the olderst daughter how to cook various things sine she will be in college in five years. Thanks! clholcombe@embarqmail.com

Would love to try the others.

We love Chinese take out and I’m not great at recreating it either. I love veggie fried rice, veggie steamed dumplings and veggie lo-mein. My FAVORITE is boneless BBQ spare ribs, but they are so bad for me and I’m trying to eat less meat, so I’ve had to cut back!!
[Reply]
I love Lomein and winning this giveaway would be great.

Beef and Broccoli is always a big hit, my 5 year old always orders Sesame Chicken at local Chinese Restaurant. We made oven dried Tofu regularly, adding it to steamed veggies or Coconut Curry. I will make Fried Rice tonite!!!

I love sesame chicken piled on top of fried rice. This is what I get every time we get take-out.
[Reply]
Oh I love honey garlic chicken with pork fried rice. I’ve just never ever been able to duplicate it, not the breading on the chicken or the honey sauce they pour over it … now I’m going to be craving it for the next week!!! Haven’t ordered take out chinese in months … this is going to be so bad!
Good luck all!

[Reply]
Oh. How nice to find a recipe for stir fry chicken using a sugar
substitute!
[Reply]
I love Korean food–bulgoggi in particular, which is thinly-sliced beef marinated, then quickly fried. I like Bibimbap which is rice with little clusters of things like matchstick cut zucchini and carrots on top, plus a fried egg on top. You mix everything together and add a little hot pepper paste. DeLISHous!!

Guilty Pleasure: Egg Rolls! Can’t get enough of them, though I don’t have them often. other than that, broccoli beef, orange chicken, fried rice, plus other Asian foods like tempura, sushi, tepanyaki…the list could go on for days!
[Reply]
Can I just say that all of these comments are making me *really* hungry!
I have a major craving for both sesame chicken and mongolian beef right now!
[Reply]
Oh, hardly have chinese food, however really like it when I get the chance. At home, we (mom, dad + three kids) cannot eat out rice without Yoshida’s gourmet sauce…it doesn’t take much to taste delicious! ~C

[Reply]
I like Hunan Beef the best.
[Reply]
One favorite is much too hard to choose. I’d say sweet & sour anything, sesame chicken and spring rolls probably to the list. I’d be hard pressed to just pick one though.
[Reply]
I LOVE Chinese food- either Sweet & Sour chicken or Broccoli Chicken is my favorite!
[Reply]
My favorite Chinese food is either Mandarin Combination or Sesame Chicken.
[Reply]
My husband loves the mix for the Schezwan chicken. I probably make it once a week!
[Reply]
My friends introducted me to Chinese foods after Tai Chi classes. I love any that isn’t spicy or served with rice. Shrimp Lo Mein and Mongolian beef are my favs. Not good at cooking anything but stir fry so I would love to get your freebies. Thanks for letting us try.
[Reply]
I love Orange Chicken!
[Reply]
mmmmmmmmmm….beef & broccoli (when I’m not nursing – too much garlic & broccoli for little tummies!)
I’m totally going to pick up a few of these packets to try!

I love Chicken Lo Mein and Sweet and Sour Chicken.

I love Asian food. I was craving Chinese takeout but resisted this weekend. Crab Rangoons and Egg Rolls top my favorite appetizer list! While I love General Shrimp or Pork Fried Rice or Sweet and Sour Chicken! Mmmmm! I tend to go for the unhealthy fried items, but occasional order some spicy green beans with white rice…..Mmmm!
[Reply]
Hot & sour soup! Just had it the other day, yummmm.
[Reply]
My favs: Hot and Sour Soup and Crab rangoons! Hard to find – but I LOVE: Mala Chicken and Green Beans.

I love all the options and love the buffet! I only weigh 105 pounds, but I can really put away the food!
I love the sauces on meats and veggies, love all the combinations, and love the crab rangoon.

[Reply]
I love sweet and sour chicken!
[Reply]
I do stir-fry a lot at home because it’s a quick & easy dish to get on the table. I’ve created a giner/soy sauce that I typically use in cooking it. But, I love to eat out for Chinese. Mongolian Beef and Mu-Shu Chicken are my faves.
[Reply]
MMmm, our favorite chinese food is fried rice, sweet n sour chicken and our latest discovery, orange chicken.
I’d LOVE to try these spices…I so hope I can find them around here…

[Reply]
My husband loves Orange Chicken! I have been trying to make fried rice and this option looks awsome!
[Reply]
I love Veggie Fried Rice the best. Thanks!
[Reply]
I’ve actually found some “homemade” recipes that don’t require a “seasoning” packet that are much tastier. I personally didn’t like the seasoning packet flavors.
[Reply]
Definitely fried rice.
[Reply]
My family loves orange chicken! I’ve also been making homemade fried rice for a long time (as my mother did before me!) and like to add carrots and onions in addition to the peas for even more veggies. I don’t use a seasoning packet though, just oyster sauce and soy sauce. I didn’t know to use cold rice though…thanks!
[Reply]
Yummy! My favorite Asian dish is crispy beef – not exactly healthy but it is delicious! Thanks for the giveaway!
[Reply]
i personally am not a fan of asian food, although i do love wonton soup. my family how ever love asian food. my children love pork fried rice. ive never made it from scratch but always wanted to try. my husband could eat just about anything asain.
[Reply]
My fave is Lo Mein!
[Reply]
Mongolian beef!
[Reply]
I use their Fried Rice kit often, it’s one of my favorite easy meals. I make the fried rice, and add in some steamed asian veggies, and some meat. I’ve used sliced ham, turkey and chicken for the meat; and ususally a bag of steamable veggies. We love it!
[Reply]
I like almost all Chinese dishes, orange chicken is a current favorite
