The Olympics kick off today! While there has been a great deal of controversy over the Olympics this year, we'd like to sidestep that for a moment and just say how glad we are that Chinese food will (hopefully) get a spotlight for the next couple of weeks. Here are a few Chinese dishes from our archives. Some are more authentic than others; some simply nod in the direction of their inspiration. Take a look and then tell us about your favorite Chinese dish.

I live in Flushing/Bayside, not too far from the Main St. area, and have easy access to great Chinese food. There are some things I would love to learn to make on my own, such as (please excuse the bad attempt at spelling) jing du paigu, paigu fan, dan dan noodles, char siu bao, and other tasty tasty goodies.

As a general rule, I really do not like Chinese food. I think it is because I have only had the greasy, Americanized stuff. Of course my in-laws LOVE Chinese food and I am subjected to it on a regular basis. And none of it has been good. I usually just get steamed veggies and prawns.
That said, some of the above recipes look and sound good.

It's a shame the majority of the Chinese restaurants cook the greasy stuff, and that most Americans don't bat an eye and think that it's decent Chinese food.
I personally think it's one of the world's greatest but also most misunderstood cuisines. There is so much of the good stuff to discover and enjoy, mostly in densely populated Chinatowns, suburban areas where the Chinese diaspora live/work and people's homes, and if you travel, of course, all over Asia.

Awesome, me and my friends were discussing this the other day! We're opting to stop by a Sam Woo BBQ and pick up some Peking Duck, Cha Siu and Chow Mein. As much as I love my parents cooking, this is the stuff that my childhood is made of. Wash it all down with some Tsingtao or Chrysanthemum tea, good good stuff.
