Healthy Chinese Recipes

11. Spicy Tofu Stir-fry

This spicy stir-fry is made with pressed tofu, chili sauce, and nuts. If pressed tofu isn't available, feel free to substitute extra firm tofu.

12. Stir-fry Fish Cubes

Here is another recipe with Chinese dried mushrooms.

13. Steamed Eggplant

Low in fat and calories, Asian eggplant contains anti-oxidants that are thought to help reduce the risk of cancer.

14. Steamed Cantonese Chicken

Steaming is one of the healthiest ways to cook food.

15. Vegetable Rice

One of my favorite side dishes, this recipe pairs bok choy and Chinese dried mushrooms with white rice.

16. Steamed Pears

This soothing dessert is perfect for cold weather days. The recipe calls for Chinese red dates, which practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine have used to treat stress. Chinese dates are easy to find in Chinese/Asian markets, but you can replace them with raisins if needed. Vegetarians who don’t eat honey can substitute agave nectar.
