Of course, it’s perfect to serve with buffalo wings alongside carrots and celery. We also love it as a dip for vegetables or even potato chips.

The word “casserole” refers to a dish cooked or stewed slowly, usually in an oven. In the case of Chinese casseroles, they are often cooked in earthenware pots, and while they are indeed stewed and take longer to cook than a stir-fry (which takes seconds or minutes), they still only take about a half hour to cook. While the clay pot is traditional, you can also cook it in your wok (a small dutch oven works great too) and serve it piping hot at the table....
A Different Chicken Wonton I was minding my own business one day, when a hankering for chicken noodle soup made me realize that chicken noodle soup is essentially the same as chicken wonton soup. Chicken meets noodley form, which meets soup. Hear me out: Chicken Noodle Soup = chicken + noodles + carrots / celery + broth. Chicken Wonton Soup = chicken wrapped in a wrapper (hello, noodle!) + broth Potato, potahto!...
Snow peas are more commonly associated with Chinese cuisine and in my opinion are a bit more tender than sugar snap peas. Both of these edible pea pod varieties have their own merits and can be used quite interchangeably in this and other dishes. I have memories of snow peas from my days growing up in the Catskills when I would turn over the soil for the garden every spring and we would plant three large rows of these snow pea plants....

The Ox is the second animal sign in the Chinese zodiac cycle. The old Chinese story behind this was that the Jade emperor ordered a race to select the 12 animals to be his personal guards. The animals arrived in the order of the cycle. The ox finished the race just behind the clever rat, who was riding on the Ox and jumped across the finish line just before the Ox crossed it!...
