Teriyaki Chicken Noodle Bowls
I have made this recipe several times and it always comes out great! The real reason for this review though, is the SAUCE!! Anytime a recipe calls for teriyaki sauce, I make this sauce because I love it so much!

easy thai shrimp soup
Delicious, easy, and a cinch to customize. I used cauliflower rice, some sugar snap peas, but it is the broth that works so well with many veggies. Will make this again and again.

Easy Shrimp and broccoli stir fry
This was great! I made it because I had everything already and needed a quick dinner for my family. It was a hit. I made it exactly as written. Will definitely keep in the rotation!

asian honey chicken
We make this at least once a month! My kids ask me for it all the time and my husband says it is better than the Chinese buffet he goes to for lunch. We have it with homemade fried rice and steamed broccoli. Would be great with toothpicks as an appetizer served hot for football games or parties also.

chinese chicken salad
Perfect in every way, so easy to make. I have been craving Chinese Chicken Salad but could never find a good one at any restaurant. This was exactly what I wanted and remember from my favorite restaurant back home. My daughter and her friends loved it too.

Cpk’s kung pao spaghetti
This is so delicious! Made the recipe as is, except used rotisserie chicken. The sauce is amazing! It will go on our regular meal rotation!
-Alana

crab rangoon dip
I “research” many recipes and look for tweaks and twists to, for my taste, make a better dish. This is a rare find, nothing needs to be changed. We followed this to a T. Hands down THE BEST crab rangoon dip! Thank you!
-Steve

asian salmon in foil
This could not be quicker or more delicious! I made this on an evening when I really didn’t feel like cooking. Literally takes a few minutes to have a restaurant-quality dish. Definitely going in the rotation! I served it with asparagus and nothing else, because, again, I really didn’t feel like cooking. Next time I’ll add rice.

easy thai chicken
Amazing! I only had chicken breasts and we forgot soy sauce and used coconut aminos. My whole family devoured it and practically licked the pan. So easy and so good.

quick korean bibimbap
5 out of 5 win here, there are 5 people in this house! Thank you! My oldest, who cooked the veggies, “I finally made them edible! Enough salt, pepper, and oil!!”

asian garlic noodles
Simply delish! I am mid bite writing this review because I am so appreciative of low budget high quality recipes. You have to try this. I didn’t have spaghetti so I subbed chow mein noodles and it did not disappoint. Thank you for such an amazing dish!

teriyaki salmon and broccoli bowls
I LOVE this recipe! I’ve made it with both shrimp and salmon (sometimes together) and it’s SO tasty.
-Courtney

egg drop soup
Made this last night, and it was amazing. My husband said it was the best egg drop soup he’d ever had.
-Jules
15
chicken and broccoli stir fry
This was delicious and fast to make! My husband and son are not huge broccoli fans but they came back for seconds. Definitely going into our meal rotation.
-Corrie

korean cheese corn
This has become a favourite for my family! Even my 8 year old loves it. I reduce the amount of Sriracha to 1tsp so it isn’t so spicy for the kids. Delicious easy side dish.
-Arleigh
17
sesame chicken bowls
This recipe was delicious! I followed the recipe exactly with the exception of using a regular pan instead of a cast iron skillet. The sauce was perfect and the chicken was so tender. Even my picky eater loved this recipe!
-Heather

quick chicken ramen noodle stir fry
Perfect, yummy, came together easily. Just the right touch of heat and not overly saucy. Loved it!
-Trude

vegetable spring rolls with peanut sauce
Best recipe I have made for the first time in a long while.

kimchi fried rice
Fantastic!!! Making it yet again and had to comment. No changes needed and I am one to alter almost any recipe.
-Amber

sheet pan beef and broccoli
This recipe is a staple in our house. I double the sauce, swap out the steak based on what’s on sale/what I have on hand (flank steak, burnt ends), and toss the broccoli in a little oil before hitting the oven. So freaking easy and so few dishes.
-Jenn
22
quick ramen noodle stir fry
One of my favorites. Double the sauce, stir fry some veggies, cook some noodles, mix all together. It’s the best noodle dish. We love it.
-Lori

korean beef tacos
The most delicious tacos!! My family loves everything we’ve made from this site and this is one of the best. We make recipes from Damn Delicious multiple times every week. Thank you!

easy chow mein
Just whipped this up for lunch as we had bean sprouts, and I’m one of only 2 in the house who likes them. My children all decided it smelled delicious (even after they’d eaten lunch!), and it was awesome!

instant pot korean beef
Delicious. I cut the meat and mixed the liquid earlier in the day which helped speed up the process. I did sauté the meat before pressure cooking. Served with brown rice and steamed carrots. The guys in my family ate it all!
-Lisalen
I appreciate the simple and authentic recipes. I am in the final stages of Breast Cancer recovery and wanted to find some easy, healthy and tasty recipes. I have made several of your recipes and it makes me feel like an accomplished chef. I would love a shopping list to keep my cupboard stocked with the essential items you recommend. Once again, thank you for sharing your passion with myself and others.

i own a restraunt love these recipes …thank you so much
i love all of these they r delicious
Thank you!
I have been to restaurants that serve a dipping sauce, with potstickers, that seems to be something more than soy sauce. Any ideas?
Unfortunately, I do not have any dipping sauce recipes at this time.
Thanks for the response!!
I love all of your recipes.
That sauce is Ponzu Sauce. You can buy it at the grocery store in the Asian section, or you can also make it from scratch. There’s a bunch of recipes on line if you Google “ponzu sauce recipe”.
Try 1/2 soy sauce, 1/2 rice vinegar!
I notice a lot of your recipes use sesame seeds. I never use up what I buy and they get rancid – could I store them in my freezer? Also can I store sesame oil in the freezer since it, too, goes rancid in the fridge.
Thank you so much for all the wonderful recipes and especially for the gorgeous photography!!
Sesame seeds and sesame oil should be stored at room temperature. They shouldn’t go rancid unless it’s been a really, really long time!
I KEEP MY SESAME SEEDS IN THE FREEZE THEM TAKE OUT THE AMOUNT I’M GOING TO USE AND LET THEM SIT AT ROOM TEMP.TO ALLOW THE OILS TO THAW AND TASTE FRESH

in Vietnam, about our daily meal, We also have a dish having lots of nutrition, grilled duck sprinkled with sesame and eat accompany with rice. It looks like Teriyaki Salmon and Broccoli Bowls, It is also pretty easy to make it.
There is nothing like a night in eating take-out. I have a local Chinese joint I like to order from. This article has me thinking that I might whip up my own take-out next time I am on the mood for some Asian flare. And it all looks easy to do.
OMG There are some great recipes can’t wait to try them Thank you
Oh my goodness, these look and sound amazing, yum!
