Do you want to try out a great Chinese recipe which you are given or have just found out? But when you finally come to your kitchen, you find that you are not ready for it in terms of cookware and the food ingredients.

Don't panic or give up on it yet because there are more ways than problems. You can take advantage of what you have at hand to recreate the ingredients or cookware that you are required to have.

We all know that perfect Chinese cooking can be perfected by what cookware you use. However, many people who are living outside China don't have a wok or rice cooker at hand. But with what you have, you can also come up with a dish that is better than good.

The thing that you can replace the wok with is a common frying pan. And one that is very deep would be the best, especially when it has a depth of more than 1.5 inches.

That is because we are going to use oil and high heat to cook Chinese recipes including meat and vegetables. A shallow frying pan may not cover the grease and oil well. Sometimes, it can get very dangerous if the oil spills out and set fire when it meets with the heat.

A common saucepan can be used to cook rice. But a tightly fitting lid is necessary to cover the pan with the rice. Although you can use a tin foil instead for emergency, but it will burn you if you touch it accidently or don't hold it correctly with some protection. So it is not recommended.

Deep-frying is a cooking method that is used frequently in Chinese cooking. There are many recipes that require doing this. A deep fryer will be needed otherwise you are going to mess things up.

You can give the deepest fryer a shot. But you need to be very careful or have a good skill to contain the spilling oils. An electric wok can also be used for deep frying. Only when you really can't cook rice should you think about buying a rice cooker.

These solutions can be used in emergency or for tests. You can start with them at the beginning. When you are having more and more fun in cooking Chinese recipes, you can think about buying some cookware. Don't spend money on something that is unnecessary. Have fun cooking Chinese dishes.
