Top 14 Chinese Winter Recipes

By Rhonda Parkinson, About.com Guide

Nothing beats a warming casserole or a dish of stew once winter takes hold. Here are some of my favorite Chinese recipes for winter, from spicy soy sauce chicken (red-cooked chicken) to congee and a beef stew with Chinese vegetables.

11. Hawaiian Beef Stew

This recipe comes from Remembering Diamond Head, Remembering Hawai'i: A Cookbook Memoir of Hawai'i and Its Foods. The authors write: "Chinese cooks at Hawaiian ranches made stew on an open fire, tossing the less-than-tender beef into a pot of water to simmer all day long, then adding vegetables shortly before the cowboys came in."
