What is a simple Chinese food that I can make for school?

We are making Chinese food for a project in school and I was just wondering if you have any suggestions for a simple Chinese recipe that I can make. I don't have much of a budget so below $20 would be good. Please give suggestions that are simple and easy to make.What is a simple Chinese food that I can make for school?
Egg rolls very simple:



Im assuming your class is around 20 people... heres is a recipe I use sometimes at home



You will need a big pan or better yet just use a big pot will be easier if your a beginner and you will not splash stuff all over the kitchen.



2lbs ground Protien( whatever you want)

1 medium size green cabbage shredded ( just chop it up uniformly in thin peices)

1 yellow onion ( half it then slice it thin)

3 Carrots (slice them thin)



**** You want to try to keep all the veggies the same size and cut*********



3 cloves garlic ( smash it, pull off skin, then chop finely)

1 T Ginger Freash (optional, peel it chop it up finely)

Egg roll wrappers ( they sell these premade in the Produce section of grocery store, just ask)

Soy Sauce 2/3 cup

Oyster sauce 3 T ( also at grocery store ask someone)

Sweet chili sauce [optional, for dipping : ) ]



- Be sure to taste as you go cooking isnt exact all the time, season until you are happy with the taste it isnt a cake you dont have to add exactly 2/3 c of soy... lol



*****DIRECTIONS******



Heat the pot over high heat, brown your meat off, once cooked take it out of pot put in bowl. Reheat the same pot over very high heat put just enough oil to barely coat the bottom of pan add carrot then cabbage and onion ( I cant stress enough the pan needs to be hotter than hell) cook until everything is translucient and tender but still has some texture to it about 4 to 5 minutes. (taste it you will know when its ready) Add Garlic and ginger cook 60 seconds add soy and oyster sauce.



Now mix that stuff with the meat and follow directions on packet for rolling the egg rolls, fry them at about 350 degrees. **** (Also try to drain some of the liquid off when rolling your egg rolls makes them kinda soggy and harder to roll)******** if you want a sauce get some pre made Sweet chili sauce its in the asian section of store ( WAYYYYY better than duck sauce) serve hot or cold but hot is better the egg rolls i mean; sauce should be cold...What is a simple Chinese food that I can make for school?
These recipes are from my 1001 Oriental Recipes cookbook. The Chinese enjoy Almond cookies, Sesame cookies, and Chinese Chews among others. I also have a recipe for Fortune cookies but they are really Chinese-American and not true Chinese.



CHRISTMAS CANDIES from China



1/2 can Chinese noodles (the crunchy noodles in the can)

1/2 can salted peanuts

1 bag of chocolate chips

1/2 bag maple or butterscotch chips



Melt chocolate and butterscotch chips together. Mix noodles and peanuts with melted chips. Drop onto a cookie sheet or tin foil and refrigerate to harden. Makes 1 dozen candies.



CRISPY ORANGE COOKIES from China



1 1/4 c flour

1/4 c rice flour

1/2 c butter or margarine

3/8 c white sugar

grated rind of 1 large orange

1 egg, separated

1/2 c brown sugar



Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Sift flour and rice flour into a bowl. Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine bread crumbs. Add sugar, orange rind, and egg yolk; mix well. Knead until smooth; wrap in foil. Refrigerate 1/2 hour. Roll dough to about 12 inches square. Brush with lightly beaten egg white; sprinkle with brown sugar. Fold corners to center. Form into a ball; knead lightly. Cut in half; shape each half into a roll about 9 inches long. Cut rolls into slices about 1/2 inch thick; place on greased baking sheets. Bake about 20 minutes' remove to cooling trays. Store when quite cold.



ALMOND COOKIES



1 c shortening

1 c sugar

1 egg, beaten

3 c sifted flour

1 1/2 tsp baking soda

3 T almond extract

4 T honey or corn syrup

1 c blanched almonds



Cream the shortening and sugar together. Add the egg. Slowly add flour, baking soda, almond extract, and honey and blend until smooth. Take a small piece of dough and roll it into a ball. Repeat until all the dough is used. Flatten each ball to about 1/2 inch thickness. Place an almond in the center of each. Bake on a greased cookie sheet in a preheated 375 degree oven for about 15 to 20 minutes. In China, lard is the usual ingredient in Almond Cookies, but you may substitute margarine.



FORTUNE COOKIES



1 egg white

1/4 c sugar

1 T water

2 T margarine- melted

1/4 tsp vanilla

1/3 c flour

dash salt

12 strips of paper with fortunes on them



Mix egg white, sugar, water, melted margarine and vanilla. Add and stir in flour and salt. Drop 3 tsp of batter onto a greased cookie sheet. Swirl the batter around with the back of a spoon until spread thinly and almost transparent. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 5-7 minutes until lightly browned at the edges. Remove immediately and place fortune in the center. Fold cookie in half and bend it slightly in the middle to make half-moon shape. Hold to allow to cool enough to hold it's shape. If cookie gets hard before you can shape it, just put it back in the oven a few moments to soften.
