https://sundaynitedinner.com/images/pictobrowser.swf <!– Zha ziang mian, aka Chinese spaghetti, is one of Hungry Bear’s favorite comfort dishes.

Easy Vegetarian Fried Rice
Hungry Bear wanted to use the rice and whipped together this vegetarian fried rice using canned wheat gluten and snow cabbage & bamboo shoots. The fried rice is super easy to make. The canned goods have enough seasonings that no soy sauce is used. And there’s only a little salt to season the eggs.

Shrimp, Fava Bean and Zucchini Pasta
Despite all the peeling required with the fava beans (some you know I hate peeling things), the pasta was great. It’s a simple dish that really highlights the fresh fava beans. To put it over the top, add a poached egg to each serving!

Garlic Beef with Asparagus and Shiitakes
She whipped up garlic beef with asparagus and shiitake mushrooms. The key to any stir-fry with thin slices of beef is not to over cook the meat. Hungry Bear made it perfectly as it remained tender and moist. The stir-fry was really flavorful from the oyster sauce, soy, garlic and shiitakes.

Asparagus Crab Pasta with Leeks and Mushrooms
I added the juice and zest of a lemon to the pasta. Even with the canned crab claw meat, the pasta was really good. It had great flavors from the leeks and asparagus. The lemon juice and zest brightened up the pasta.

Fried Rice with Chinese Sausage and Broccoli
The beauty of fried rice is the endless variations that can be made from leftovers or random ingredients in the fridge. In my head, I have a basic shrimp fried rice recipe my mom taught me, but I can’t recall the last time I made it. Instead, each time we make fried rice, it’s a…

Chinese Beef Chow Fun with Broccoli
We both love chow fun, but rarely order it at restaurants because it’s just too damn oily. Prepared with fresh ingredients, minimal oil and Chinese broccoli, dare I say that chow fun can be a healthy, balanced meal.

Cauliflower and Mushroom Sticky Rice Risotto
We don’t make risotto very often, but when we do, Hungry Bear makes a cauliflower and mushroom risotto using sticky rice (glutinous/sweet rice). I love all things made with sticky rice, and this risotto is one of my favorite sweet rice dishes. The best part is minimal stirring is required to make this risotto.
