About
Chinese Home Cooking, Written Down Properly
Tested recipes with real measurements — so you can actually recreate the dish, not just look at a nice photo.
Why This Site Exists
Most Chinese recipe sites in English either oversimplify the dishes or bury the useful parts in SEO filler. We wanted something different — recipes that tell you exactly how much soy sauce to add, what temperature the oil should be, and when to turn off the heat.
The recipes here cover everything from 10-minute stir-fries to all-day soups. Sichuan, Cantonese, Hunan, street food, home cooking — if it's good and we've made it ourselves, it goes on the site.

Dishes from Across China
China has at least eight major regional cuisines, and they taste nothing alike. We're working through as many as we can — Cantonese dim sum, Sichuan stir-fries, Hunan heat, slow-cooked Guangdong soups, and the stuff in between.
How It Works
Pick a recipe, check what you need, and start cooking. Each recipe has a step-by-step mode so you can follow along without scrolling back and forth.
Find a dish — search, browse tags, or just scroll. We organize by region, cooking style, and main ingredient.
Check the ingredient list. Amounts are in grams and milliliters. The serving adjuster lets you scale up or down.
Follow the steps. Use "Step-by-Step" mode to focus on one step at a time, or "View All" if you prefer to read ahead.
Read the notes at the bottom — that's where we put the tips that actually make a difference.
Who's Behind This

Cook & Developer
I grew up eating Chinese food and started writing these recipes because I couldn't find good English-language versions of the dishes I grew up with. Most of what's out there is either too vague or not how Chinese people actually cook at home.
This site is my way of fixing that — one recipe at a time.
We're adding new recipes regularly. If there's a dish you want to see, or if you spot a mistake in a recipe, drop us a note. This site is a work in progress and we'd rather get it right than rush it.
