Chow Chow Chow Chow
It's one of my absolute favorites! My grandmother's recipe was a permanent side dish. You go to grandma's house and you eat chow chow with EVERYTHING! If canned, chow chow can have a shelf life of up to two years. It has to go through a fermentation process before canning, which gives it, it's unique flavor. It's a cross between spicy salsa, coleslaw, and pickles! Be sure to follow and like for more future recipes from Donk.

Grandma's Chinese Chive and Egg Soup Grandma's Chinese Chive and Egg Soup
When my mother in law made this for me I was amazed!My daughter doesn't like cooked eggs or greens, and she can only eat chives when they're in gyoza dumplings, but even she eats this soup up and says it's delicious. It seems she likes it because she can just slurp up the egg and chive together!When you're adding the chive and egg mixture in Step 3, make sure the soup is bubbling! If you put it in when it's not bubbling, the soup will become cloudy. For 2 servings. Recipe by Mei&shou mama

Grandma's Country Soup Grandma's Country Soup
My husband's grandmother, who I loved dearly, used to make this frequently. I re-created it relying on my husband's memory of the dish. I think the soup grandma made was better though...The soup needs to be simmered for a while. My grandma used to make this with dashi stock made from dried small sardines, but you can use any kind of dashi you like. For 5 to 6 servings. Recipe by Keyua -

grandma's vegetable beef soup grandma's vegetable beef soup
This soup was always my favorite when I was a child. As I grew up, my grandma gave me the recipe, but she used a product called soup starter for most of it I found. I wanted a more scratch soup with basic ingredients. I think I nailed it! Now its my son's favorite soup too!

Chicken Chow Mein Chicken Chow Mein
I have been making this for years. But I used to buy the chow Mein packet mix. I thought 'how hard could it be to make it myself?'. The answer is 'really easy!'. It's basically oyster & soy sauce, ground cumin & coriander, throw in some chicken and veggies of your choice and some noodles. That's about it! So nice and a good way to get rid of those veggies that need to be used. Ground beef instead of chicken pieces works well too. Enjoy! 😀

Grandma's chicken curry special Grandma's chicken curry special
Dedicated this recipe to my grandma from whom I learned basic cooking. This is a 20 year old recipe I remember she cooked for me only. Fortunately I used to help her pound the ingredients, that's why this recipe is still in my memory. Being her last descendant, it will be of great merit to impart this recipe to everyone who loves curry.
