Around the World in 80 Days – Chinese Food at Home

Is Chinese your favorite take out food? Why not try cooking up a feast at home instead or getting take out! Kidspot Kitchen has some wonderful recipes to try!

Fried rice is an easy dinner to whip up on a weeknight. Using ingredients you can find in your  pantry, you can make this a little more fancy by adding ingredients such as prawns or chicken. This simple fried rice is really nice hot or cold – and good for lunches too. Pro tip – use day old cooked rice! It really makes a difference!

 

Try making lightly fried spring rolls. These healthy spring rolls are packed full of lean beef and  veggies and are lightly pan-fried, not deep fried, less guilt! Spring roll wrappers are typically found in the produce section.
