Easy Grilled Chinese Vegetables
There are plenty of Chinese vegetable recipes to choose from and Chinese vegetables are especially delicious. These Chinese vegetable packets mean that you can combine everything in foil packets and grill them at the same time as the meat, fish or whatever else you are grilling.
Alternatively, you can make these Chinese vegetables as an appetizer. Warn your guests to open the packets with a knife and fork and lean back because hot steam will escape when they are opened.
