15 takeout recipes you can make at home

By: The Canadian Living Test Kitchen

Instead of reaching for the phone, try these takeout recipes you can make at home.

Gluten-Free Pad Thai

Always check packaged food labels for gluten, including ketchup (Heinz is gluten-free), sriracha, fish sauce and broth (homemade stock is best – and safest).

Quick Egg and Veggie Fried Rice

Everyone needs a fried rice recipe in his or her repertoire, because it's great for using up leftovers.

Beef and Lentil Burger With Cilantro Lime Mayo

Serve these burgers to people who don't like lentils and they'll soon be converted!

Chicken and Avocado Brown Rice Sushi Rolls

Sub in different vegetables depending on what you have in your crisper to make unique brown rice sushi.

Cheeseburger Spring Rolls

East meets West in these tasty little bites. We've doubled up on the spring roll wrappers, which provides extra crunch and prevents the filling from bursting out.

Slow Cooker Butter Chicken

This recipe can easily be left to simmer away in a slow cooker for eight hours before adding the chicken.

Baby Kale Caesar Salad

Roasting all but one of the garlic cloves pumps up flavour to the max without having the overpowering taste of raw cloves.

Parmesan Rosemary Chicken Wings

No need for messy, greasy deep-frying with these crunchy baked wings. They make a fun meal for two – just add some sliced baby cukes, carrots and cherry tomatoes for a crunchy, fresh side.

Beef and Broccoli Brown Rice Bowl

Put down that takeout menu! This healthy spin on beef and broccoli will leave you feeling full and guilt-free.

Fresh Rolls With Spicy Almond Dipping Sauce

This Vietnamese favourite is easy to make and is just as suitable for a main course as it is for an appetizer.

Slow Cooker Rare Beef Pho

The essence of this Vietnamese pho lies in the long-cooking, rich beef broth which forms the base of the soup - the slow cooker is the ultimate tool for the task.
