Renu of Cook with Renu is hosting today and asked us to share some Chinese recipes.  Chinese New Year also called the Lantern Festival is coming up in February.  This is the year of the Dragon.  Let's take a look at what everyone is sharing today.  Perhaps you will find some recipes for your Chinese New Year Celebration.
Ginger Venison Stir Fry

It only takes minutes to prep for this stir fry and even less cooking time.  The most time-consuming component of this dish is the steamed rice, if you choose to use it.

Ginger Venison with Baby Bok Choy

I used venison for this stir fry but you could substitute beef sirloin or flank steak if you don't have venison available.  China does have a healthy deer population but, like here, it is not a main source of protein.  If you have venison in your freezer and want to serve it without your family's knowledge, this is a great dish.  They will never, ever know unless you tell them.  Just say you are having steak stir fry.

  2. That's a great way to disguise the venison! Stir fries are great for tougher cuts of meat too because you cut it into bite-sized pieces.

  3. I am a big fan of the ginger garlic sauce as it pairs well with meats, seafood, tofu or just veggies. So flavourful and love how Chinese meals come together in a short time. I think the veg prep takes longer.

    1. I don't know if you eat beef Sneha. This can be made with beef as well. My son-in-law is Hindu so I use venison as he does not eat beef.
