Second courses are the basis of every family’s diet. There are hundreds and thousands of such home cooking options in every kitchen in the world. Meat, vegetable, cereal and mixed with herbs and sauces, cooked from a steamer, oven, slow cooker, and just from the stove.
Delicious recipes for second courses in a hurry or for a festive table are infinitely diverse. Simple recipes with photos will help even novice cooks in cooking.
The second course to the table is traditionally served after the soup – in other words, the main ones are the “second” dishes that are familiar to us, which are the central element of the meal. Most often, the main second course is prepared from meat, poultry, fish and seafood, to which cooked or raw vegetables, legumes, cereals, pasta and mushrooms are necessarily served as a side dish.
Fish or meat main dishes are the most satisfying, nutritious and large in volume. For every day, modern chefs, as a rule, serve simple main dishes that are easy to prepare. Cutlets, meatballs, schnitzels, sausages, cabbage rolls, fried fish or fish in batter, which do not require much time for heat treatment and serving. On the occasion of the solemn events, a festive main dish is being prepared, which should surprise the guests and become the culmination of the banquet. Here, each cook is already trying to show her culinary skills, choosing from the most delicious recipes of the main dishes what suits the tastes of the guests and the budget of the hosts.

I continue the topic of recipes obtained on the sidelines of Chinese cuisine. Today it is juicy pork with Peking cabbage and nice peppercorns for those who like spicy food.
In this dish I tried fish sauce for the first time. Unusual, of course, for an amateur, but piquant and interesting. This sauce is often used in Asian cuisine. However, if you haven’t found a fish sauce or you don’t like it, then add finely chopped anchovies or a piece of herring to the heated onion oil.
This is a typical cooking method for Chinese cuisine, which allows you to preserve the useful properties, freshness and aroma of the ingredients. Everything is cooked in a wok in heated oil with constant stirring and even tossing in the air. For the preparation of stir-fry, it is important that all the ingredients are chopped and are at hand, because the cooking process itself is very fast and intensive. The dish itself should be served immediately.
This dish is always prepared in our Chinese restaurant. It is prepared in two versions – vegetarian or with meat. Spicy and crispy vegetables in tandem with fried meat turn out to be very tasty and nutritious.
