Or maybe you think it's too hard or takes too much time. Well, you don't have to be a professional cook to prepare some great, quick, and easy meals for the whole family. I'll help you bring home the restaurant flavour with a few quick recipes.<br /><p><b>Spicy Beef, Shrimp, and Bok Choy</b></p>* 1/4 cup Shao Hsing rice wine<br /><p>* 1 1/2 tablespoons oyster-flavored sauce</p>* 2 teaspoons cornstarch<br /><p>* 4 teaspoons canola oil</p>* 3/4 pound sirloin steak<br /><p>* 1/4-1 teaspoon crushed red pepper</p>* 10 raw shrimp<br /><p>* 1 pound bok choy</p>Instructions:<br /><p>1. Whisk rice wine, oyster sauce and cornstarch into a small bowl until the cornstarch is dissolved.</p>2. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add beef and crushed red pepper. keep cooking, stirring, until the beef begins to brown. That should take about 2 minutes. Add shrimp and continue to cook, stirring, until the shrimp is opaque and pink. Again, this should take about 2 minutes. Transfer the food to a plate.<br /><p>3. Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons oil over medium-high heat in the same pan. Add bok choy and cook, stirring, until it begins to wilt. That should be about 3 minutes. Stir in cornstarch mixture. Return the beef-shrimp mixture (from step 2) to the pan and cook and stir. Keep this up until heat penetrates thoroughly, and sauce has thickened; should take about 1 minute.</p><br /><p><b>Salt and Pepper Prawns</b></p>* 1/4 cup lime juice<br /><p>* 4 teaspoons reduced-sodium soy sauce</p>* 4 teaspoons sesame oil<br /><p>* 1 teaspoon sugar</p>* 6 cups cabbage<br /><p>* 2 small red or orange bell peppers</p>* 1/4 cup rice flour<br /><p>* 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt</p>* 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper<br /><p>* 1 teaspoon five-spice powder</p>* 1 1/3 pounds raw shrimp<br /><p>* 2 tablespoons canola oil</p>* 2 jalapeno peppers<br /><p>Instructions:</p>1. Whisk lime juice, soy sauce, sesame oil and sugar into a large bowl until the sugar is dissolved. Add cabbage and bell peppers. Stir.<br /><p>2. Mix rice flour, salt, pepper and five-spice powder in a medium bowl. Add and coat shrimp in the mixture. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook, making sure to stir. Should take 4 minutes, until shrimp are pink. Add jalapenos and cook until the shrimp are cooked through. This should take another minute. Serve in combination with the salad from step 1.</p>As you can see, Chinese cooking doesn't have to complicate.
