What is it?
CookLikeHOC is a community-maintained collection of home-cooking recipes that aims to reproduce the dishes served by the Chinese fast-casual restaurant chain Lao Xiang Ji (老乡鸡). The recipe text is largely drawn from the company's published dish-traceability report, then organized and edited by contributors. A web version is available, and the project includes Docker support and a development guide.
The repository is explicitly not an official Lao Xiang Ji project and has no affiliation with the company or with the cooklikehoc.com domain. Its main content was completed in 2024, and recent updates add dishes that appeared in the 2026 version 2.0 of the traceability report. Contributors are invited to submit photos of finished dishes.
