American Chinese

Chinese influence on the American food landscape began with the first Chinese immigrants arriving in the mid 1800’s. Traditional dishes were adapted to suit American palates. These changes quickly became popular with diners evolving into a new branch of Chinese cuisine. Many beloved dishes of Chinese American cuisine, like Sweet and Sour Pork, Chop Suey, and Lemon Chicken, have been reimagined here, elevating flavor and refining technique for the home kitchen. With these step-by-step recipes you can skip the Chinese takeout and make your own feast at home.
