To give you an idea of what a legit Chinese eats on a regular day, let’s whip up a simple Chinese dinner meal, which includes two recipes. The Sichuan Peppercorn Chicken is poached to the perfect doneness and then mixed with a mouth-watering sauce. We will turn the chicken cooking broth into a steaming, hearty shanghai-style noodle soup. Both recipes are quick, easy, budget-friendly, and enough to feed a family of 3. If you want to see more of these quick, budget-friendly meals, let me know in the comments.
