chinese take out: I'm ordering Sesame chicken with pork fried rice and I was wondering how unhealthy are the typical dishes that people order?|||Chinese takeout is just as healthy or unhealthy as any American, Italian food because it's not the type of cuisine that matters, it's what you order that makes the difference. Sesame chicken is battered chicken deep fried and slathered with a sauce that's sweet and sour, basically the same with any chicken burger in which the chicken is deep fried and the burger comes with mayonnaise or ketchup, the Italians will add cheese on top of everything. There are many healthy choices when ordering Chinese take-out, stir fried chicken or beef with vegetables, mushroom with steam rice will cut the calories in half. It's you yourself who can make your meal healthy, not the type of food itself. If you only choose all the deep fried, greasy, sugary food, it makes no difference if you order Chinese, French, Mexican or American food.|||take-out is usually unhealthy unless you order salad no matter it is Chinese food or others it's better to learn how to cook Chinese food if you really like them. you can find many Chinese cooking recipes below|||Not Chinese but I've had actual real Chinese food, the other stuff is really unhealthy, full of MSG, but SOOOOO addicting|||compared to actual chinese food... sooo unhealthy. agreed. it is really good. haha :)|||It's good that's all that matters.
