I need a recipe for a Chinese dish or snack, but I need something that's easy to make because I'm not very good at cooking (well my mom might help me), and I have only a week to make it for my Chinese class. (We're celebrating the Chinese New Year, so the entire class is supposed to make a Chinese meal or snack.)
So can you please help me find an easy recipe that can serve up to 10 people? Thanks in advance! :)I need help finding an easy Chinese recipe?
Here are 4 to choose from, but I think the best is the first one. The eggs will be easy to carry to school and should taste delicious:

You could buy the cakes made for Chinese New Year, they have fruits in and some sweet vegetable in them. They are small squares and have stamps on the in the kanji of what they are. You could buy pot stickers from the grocery store or Costco and steam or fry them also. That is a quick, easy dish you don't have to make. Sweet sour chicken or pork you can buy at the grocery store and make as package directions or Orange chicken too. Costco has all of that in enough of an amount to have samples for all the class.I need help finding an easy Chinese recipe?
Potato Spring Rolls
Ingredients锛?6 slice(s) of packaged white bread
1 cup(s) mashed potatoes
1/2 cup(s) thinly sliced cooked green beans
1/4 teaspoon(s) togarashi (see Tips %26amp; Techniques), or use cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 large egg yolk mixed with 1 tablespoon of water
2 cup(s) vegetable oil, for frying
Warm turkey gravy and Sriracha chile sauce, for serving
Directions锛?br>
Stack the bread in 4 piles and trim the crusts. Using a rolling pin, roll out each bread slice to a thin 3-by-5-inch rectangle.
In a bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, green beans, and togarashi ; season with salt and pepper. Brush the edges of 4 bread rectangles with the egg yolk mixture. Shape 1 tablespoon of the potato mixture into a log along a long edge of a rectangle, leaving 1/2 inch on each end.
Tightly roll up the bread to form a cylinder; press the ends together to seal. Repeat with the remaining bread and potato mixture.
In a skillet, heat the oil to 325掳F. Add half of the rolls and fry, turning occasionally, until well-browned, about 1 1/2 minutes. Transfer to paper towels. Repeat with the remaining rolls. Serve with gravy and Sriracha.

Buy a bag of Mandarin oranges -- one little orange for each person if you fail to make something successfully.
Here is a nice and easy recipe for oyster sauce chicken submitted by a reader. Serves 6
Ingredients:
1 whole chicken (about 3 pounds), cut into pieces
5 tablespoons oyster sauce (oyster flavored sauce)
4 tablespoons thick soy sauce or dark soy sauce (or a combination of the two)
4 tablespoons light soy sauce
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
4 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh ginger
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Preparation:
1. In a small bowl, combine the oyster sauce, soy sauces, and sugar.
2. Place the chicken pieces in a large bowl and combine with the marinade. Let the chicken stand for 10 - 15 minutes if desired.
3. Heat the oil on medium-high heat in a skillet or preheated wok. Brown the ginger in the oil (this takes about 2 minutes).
4. Turn the heat down to medium. Add the chicken (remove the chicken from the bowl with a slotted spoon, discarding any excess marinade). Cook the chicken on medium heat for 10 minutes, turning over halfway between cooking.
5. Turn the heat down to medium low. Cook the chicken for 6 to 8 more minutes, turning occasionally, until it is cooked through. Serve hot.
This is an oven-roasted version of a recipe for Microwave Honey Chicken that was submitted by Phyllis. Before roasting the chicken, feel free to place a few slices of ginger and scallions under the skin of the chicken (tie the scallions into knots first).
Cook Time: 1 hour, 30 minutes
Ingredients:
1 roasting chicken, 3 to 3 1/2 pounds
Marinade;
2 scallions (spring onions, green onions)
1 cup dark soy sauce
2 tablespoons crushed rock sugar, if available, or 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon five-spice powder
2 - 3 slices ginger
Preparation:
Clean the chicken and pat dry with paper towels. Chop the scallions into thirds, lightly smashing the white sections.
For the marinade, combine the dark soy sauce, rock sugar or granulated sugar, five-spice powder, ginger and the chopped scallions. Place the chicken in a large bag and add half the marinade. Reserve the remaining half of the marinade to baste the chicken during cooking. Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (preferably all night) turning the bag occasionally so that all the chicken is coated in the marinade.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit (232 degrees Celsius, gas mark 8). Place the chicken on a rack in a roasting pan. Roast for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius, gas mark 5). Roast the chicken, basting frequently with the reserved marinade, for another hour or until it is cooked. (To check for doneness, pierce the chicken in the thickest part of the thigh. The juices should run clear. If using a meat thermometer, the temperature should read 170 degrees Fahrenheit (76 degrees Celsius) in the thickest part of the thigh.
Let the roasted chicken sit for 15 minutes before serving.
