Best Chinese Food Fort Lauderdale (2024 Updated)

I have read through the cookbook. I am Asian and an avid lover of many kinds of Asian cuisines, and this book has many of the things I absolutely love eating. Since the author is Thai and grew up in the restaurant industry—his recipes are legit.

There’s also a note on the core ingredients of each cuisine and the differences between certain similar ingredients and substitutions. There isn’t a picture for every recipe, but I’d say maybe 80% do, and those pictures are gorgeous.

I will say that the recipes are easy to follow, but they are authentic recipes so they vary in difficulty—some will require a little extra effort, but little “love” is the secret ingredient to good cooking and totally worth it.

If you take it a step at a time, you can do it. But if you’re not looking for a basic beginner book of adapted recipes and you’re looking to achieve that authentic taste of eating something from a restaurant or something your friend’s mom would approve of—this is EXCELLENT.

The author does include some “shortcut” recipes too like for the different beverage recipes.

In the Rock The Wok: Stir-Fry Mastery chapter, Kung Pao Shrimp, while very popular in the U. S. , originated in southwest China. Jet makes a classic version but substitutes cashews for the peanuts which add a nice crunch and flavor.

The dish is quite versatile so you can substitute the shrimp with meat, seafood, or tofu. The shrimp are plump with a nice snap. The sauce is rich and full of flavor. All you need is a bowl of rice and you’re set.

Rating: 5/5 Mongolian Beef is a Chinese-American dish. The secret to this dish is the marinade which turns out tender pieces of beef. The beef is so tender and the sauce has the perfect balance of flavors: salty sweet, sour, and spicy.

Another dish where a bowl of rice would be great to utilize all the sauce. You won’t want to waste a drop! Rating: 5/5 Szechuan-Style Green Beans uses a “twice cooking” technique. They are blanched in hot oil, not quite deep-frying, and then stir-fried in a wok.

The technique removes the “rawness” of the green beans and jumpstarts the cooking process. These are some of the best green beans I have ever had! The green bean flavor is intact and amplified by the flavors of the sauce – sweet, salty, zingy, and refreshing.

Rating: 5/5 Buddha’s Delight – Vegetable Feast is perfect for the vegetarian or if you are just craving veggies. It’s crammed full of veggies like bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, bean sprouts, Napa cabbage, and snow peas.

Tofu and mushrooms adds that meaty, protein packed texture to the dish. Personally, I would use this as a side dish to chicken or seafood. I need my meat! Rating: 4. 5/5 In the Sushi, Salads And Other Veggies chapter, Chinese Chicken Salad has become a California favorite since the 1990s and is displayed on menus as an entrée salad all across the country.

Jet makes this dish easy to make at home. It has all the flavors and textures you know and love about Chinese chicken salad from the crunchy cabbage and wonton strips to the sweetness of the dressing and mandarin orange segments.

Rating: 5/5 You know I can’t end a review without dessert! In the Sweets: The Tastiest Way To End Any Meal chapter, Cinnamon And Five-Spice Easy Donuts shows you a donut “hack”. Yes, you can make a yeast donut from scratch, but if you don’t have time to wait for the dough to rise, these donuts are amazing! This hack includes some Asian flare by utilizing five-spice into the sugary outer goodness.

It’s like pixie dust for Foodie Neverland! Rating: 5/5.

I have two kitties, one a very picky eater and the other a garbage disposal. I ordered this for the first time recently and they both LOVE this food. I did want to note though, I placed an order for the 5.

6lb bag and received a bag labeled 3. 9lbs. I called customer service to determine the discrepancy because this food is much pricier than what I’ve purchased for them in the past. Customer service was fantastic and sent me a new “5.

6lb” bag for the inconvenience. I once again received a 3. 9lb bag so I’m assuming there’s a disconnect between the offices and the shipping department. Buyer beware if you purchase the “5. 9lb” bag for $30, you’re only getting 3.

9lbs. Because my cats love the food so much, I intend to purchase in the future. I hope this mix up is solved before I need to purchase another bag.

I bought Tiki Cat dry food because it was suggested by my veterinarian to help my cat with his insulin-resistant diabetes. I was happy to see that I could purchase a smaller bag to try in case my cat didn’t like this brand.

I am pleased to say that he absolutely loves and devours this food. It is high protein/low carb which is essential for a diabetic cat. This food along with Fancy Feast classic pate’ seems to be helping with excessive water drinking and urination.

We have another vet visit soon, so I am interested to see how much his glucose numbers have lowered. I think your cat will love this food even if he/she isn’t diabetic.

Purina Sensitive Skin & Stomach for seniors is fantastic! I have 2 black labs, 1 senior (15 years) and 1 puppy (1 year, lab mix) and have switched them both to the sensitive formula for their respective ages.

My puppy was first, when he started regurgitating his food periodically then progressed to full blown vomiting and diarrhea but otherwise was healthy and a check by the vet yielded no obvious issue. After research pointed to a possible food intolerance, I read extensively and decided the Purina sensitive formula (for puppies) fit the bill.

It did indeed solve all of the GI issues my pup was having!! Fast forward 6 months and my senior dog was having serious issues with bowel movements being sparse, yellow and having to strain along with one episode of vomiting with partially digested food.

Again, otherwise happy and still had an appetite but it then turned to diarrhea. So, onto homemade chicken and rice he went with psyllium to see if that calmed his issues. It did, so I determined he was probably having a hard time processing his food.

Having had so much luck with my puppy and the sensitive stomach formula and the same exact set of symptoms, I ordered the senior version for my old man. Again, IT WORKED!!!! I could not have been happier when his GI issues resolved, his bowel movements are better than they have been in years and he’s a happy boy again!!! I will say I am still adding psyllium and organic pumpkin powder to his food, but not because the kibble is falling short, but because he needs a little more help staying regular and needs extra ease with going, because he has severe hip dysplasia.

Long story long, I am very thankful that I found Purina Pro plan for both my puppy and my senior. Footnote: I also sing high praises for Purina’s probiotic powder that I throw in the mix for both of them periodically or when they seem to have minor GI disturbances.

We may the transition to PPP brand food recently after hearing some online reviews about the quality of the food. One of our Boston Terrier mixes is very athletic and active and we wanted to make sure we were fuelling her correctly.

Little did we know that the reviews we were reading were from before the formula change in 2021. Over the following months, our dogs got progressively itchier, rubbed their snouts raw, developed ear infections, had their paw pads slough off, broke toenails requiring surgery, and saw severe hair thinning.

We ran all sorts of tests, put them on antibiotics and antifungals and anti-inflammatories, but nothing came back as a solid cause. It was only after the vet suggested it might be allergies (he thought seasonal – but neither had seasonal allergies last year) that we clued in that the new food was the likely culprit.

One internet search later and we have read countless other stories on sites like Reddit indicating the same issues as we have had. We will have to throw out the rest of our large bag, can’t risk exposing a rescue to this product.

I am incredibly disappointed in what was supposed to be a stellar pet food product. While owners may be tempted to try a sample size to see if it sits right with their pets, I would caution those owners and say we didn’t see the worst of effects of the food change until the 3-4 week mark.

My first order with Chewy. com arrived in excellent condition and on time. However, I discovered that the Purina Proplan shredded chicken and rice +7 for large breeds in the 34 lb. size bag was not what I expected.

The kibble was/is much smaller than what my dog is accustomed to. Attempting to transition, I served it to him on more than five consecutive occasions. And, with each of those meals, he consumed only half of his normal amount.

I was throwing away expensive dog food. Therefore, I contacted Chewy. com customer service. The representative and I researched alternative products. It turns out that, in all likelihood, I should have ordered item #67519, instead of the product that is the subject of this review.

In my opinion, what created confusion in selecting products is that Purina changed the dog images on the subject bags. The respective contents share the same word-for-word description, except one product (the one my dog doesn’t like) indicates a +7.

The Purina product consisting of small kibble now comes in a bag featuring a Golden Retriever, the same image that appeared on the bag containing the larger kibble for years. In any event, Chewy. com customer service was extremely courteous, helpful, and exemplary.

The representative did not hesitate to issue me a refund. I highly recommend Chewy. com. Buy with confidence.

Contains Wheat! I searched “rice noodles” for gluten free options and these are definitely no GF but are deliciousbfor those who can eat them . A little goes a lkng way for crunch!

Well packaged, mine were shipped, great for added crunch just wish the best by was a bit farther out then 90 days. Well worth ordering from Target.

I order this product all the time from other retailers and have never had them show up like this. I ordered 10 bags. 2 bags had burst and were all over the box. I have opened 5 of the other bags and had to throw them away because they were stale and OLD.

Very disappointed in the fact that Target would sell this old stock of stuff to people.

Usually I just put rice noodles atop salads and Asian dishes,even some that it shouldn’t go on from a lack of knowledge in traditional cooking styles. However, these I taste tested to see the firmness of them and they were like little chips of rice heaven.

I found myself buying more and snacking on them like they were a canister of chips like pringles. I give them two thumbs up.

Excellent products, super fast shipping.

I love the Japanese rice cakes . Great price.

This is a good sausage product. I ate these growing up in an asian household. They’re kind of a go to food for me, if my mom didn’t cook one day. They remain juicy when you fry them, the outside and nice and crispy.

I like Knorr products but have a problem with the packaging. In this particular case (chicken fried rice) in stovetop directions, I was unable to discern how much water to use; I could not read the number (1-_/4 cups).

The letters were very tiny and either white or pale orange, imprinted upon a darker or pumpkin orange color. I could not read the mystery number (1 or 3) with my naked eyes and could not read it even with my bifocals.

I then used a flashlight to brighten the surface, but I still couldn’t see the mystery number. As a last resort, I used my bifocals, the flashlight AND a magnifying glass, but I still could not determine if the mystery number was a 1 or a 3 (1-1/4 or 1-3/4 cups of water).

I then called your 800 number but the recording said you were closed on Saturdays (which is the only day most women have the time to call to ask questions)! I went online and could not find out how much water to add to this product, but I couldn’t even go on Chat to ask because THAT was offline, too!! As I said, I like your products but HATE your packaging.

please consider making some changes with the printing or color combinations so your directions are easier to read. For now, I give up; I’m putting this product back in my kitchen cabinet and making a sandwich instead! Thank you for reading my comments.

I buy this for quick and easy meals for my husband and myself. I buy the small packages of chopped up Chicken Breast (they usually say Taco Meat or For Tacos). I cut that package in half and freeze them individually and take out one when I need to make a quick meal.

I cook the Chicken in a little Imperial Margarine & set aside. I start Rice according to the package directions, add the Chicken & any leftover Peas or Green Beans from the Fridge. In a few minutes I have a complete Meal ready to eat! It’s Fast, Easy and Delicious!.

I am just now trying this new flavor of Creole Garlic Butter by Knorr and I have to say I like it a lot. The first time I am trying a new product, I prepare it by itself as-is, by the instructions on the package just to see how the flavor tastes on its on with no add-ons.

It was very good and well seasoned with a nice garlicy and buttery flavor. There are also hints of spice (but not overpowering of heat) that blend well with the garlic and the consistency is nice. Now I have also used some add-ons with the rice.

I’ve added some smoked sausage (mild because there is already a bit of spiciness in the rice), chicken, and ham on occasion. I’ve also tried tomatoes, onions, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, capers, and other yummy veggies.

You can be creative with it and as a single person, I can say that with add ons to the initial rice, this is easily a one-pot meal for me. (If it’s too much for one meal, refrigerate it and reheat at a later time.

I think it’s a good fit to the Knorr rice sides family.

This my 1st time trying this sauce it is extremly hot which I like. But I wish I could taste the Mango in it cause all I could taste is the Habenero peppers. If you buy this I suggest that you mix it with a mild Buffalo Wing Sauce or BBQ Sauce so that it is not too hot.

Which is what I am doing. Cause it is the hottest sauce I have ever tasted.
