This is the time of year when I start craving all of my favorite Chinese foods (jiaozi, salt and pepper squid, char siu, etc.).  That's right, Chinese New Year is coming up, and we are ready to celebrate by eating all of our favorite foods.

This year I want to share the recipes of dishes we love and make all the time.  And if I can make them, then I'm sure that you can too!

Any time we have leftover rice we use it to make fried rice the next day.  Actually, there have been many times when I've made extra rice just so I will have extra for fried rice.  This one's easy and versatile, just make sure you have a really good nonstick skillet and leftover cold rice (yes, it really makes a difference).
