Directions
I love Chinese takeout, but I dont love all the extra calories. Thats why I like to take classic Chinese dishes and make lighter versions. You should also try my Kung Pao Chicken Zoodles, Orange Chicken and Chicken and Broccoli Stir-Fry makeovers. Kung Pao Tofu would awesome served with my take on Wonton Soup. The only thing better than eating one of your favorite Chinese meals is eating a healthier version so you can enjoy it more often!,,In this recipe, Im keeping it vegetarian with tofu as the main protein in the dish, but shrimp or chicken would also work great. I wanted to use easy to find ingredients but still get that authentic flavor, which I think we nailed it. Its so good! I subbed sherry for Chinese vinegar and Sambal Oelek for whole chilies (which I find annoying when trying to eat around them anyway).,Spicy Shrimp Fried Rice,Honey Garlic Shrimp,Teriyaki Chicken and Asparagus Stir-Fry,Spiralized Shanghai Beef and Broccoli,Chicken Zoodle Lo Mein
