The 17 Best recipes for Crockpot Chinese Cuisine

1. Honey Garlic Chicken

If I’m making this dish, I can always smell the honey, garlic and soy sauce wafting through my kitchen. I prefer to mince my own garlic cloves and add a splash of apple cider vinegar to cut through the sweetness.

1. Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your crockpot.

2. Whisk together in a medium bowl the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, ketchup, dried basil, dried oregano and crushed red pepper flakes.

4. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

One of my all-time favorite dishes to eat is Mongolian Beef. Mine includes beef cubed tenderly, marinated in soy sauce, with garlic and ginger.

Add some green onions and a tablespoon of brown sugar and it’s delicious.

2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the coated slices of beef, about 2-3 minutes on each side, until browned; transfer the beef to the crockpot.

3. In the same skillet, add ginger and garlic. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.

4. Pour soy sauce, water, and brown sugar into the skillet. Stir until sugar is dissolved; then pour the mixture over the beef in the crockpot.

5. Toss in the carrots, and simmer on low 4-5 hours or until the beef is tender.

3. Sweet and Sour Pork

When I come home hungry, I’ll use a frying pan and start making it straight away. The meat will be pork, the vegetables will be bell peppers and the fruit will be pineapples.

I will use pork tenderloin and bell peppers to prepare this dish. My favorite sauce for this meal is sweet and sour sauce.

 Ingredients

• 1 1/2 lbs pork shoulder, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1 bell pepper (red, yellow or green), chopped
• 1 medium onion, chopped

 Instructions

1. Season the pork pieces on all sides with salt and pepper, and brown them in a skillet, over fairly high heat, taking care not to crowd them so they cook evenly. When they are well-browned on all sides, remove them to the crockpot, and turn the heat down to low.

2. Put the pork back in the slow cooker with the chopped bell pepper, onion and pineapple chunks.

3. In a bowl, whisk together ketchup, rice vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and the reserved pineapple juice.

4. Chicken Lo Mein

To make my perfect dish, I add some ingredients that make the whole dish taste just amazing. First, I choose tender chicken pieces, bell peppers and peas, fresh from my refrigerator.

This gives it a nice mix of flavors. I particularly like to use the secret ingredient, which is savory soy sauce.

Just a dash is enough. And my final touch is that I use a little sesame oil.

None of these dishes are the same without those  essential components!

14. Chinese BBQ Ribs

When thinking about delicious food, my mind gravitates towards Chinese BBQ ribs. The rack of ribs is smothered in sweet, salty, soy-based marinade and spices.
