When they are all in his apartment, he says "who wants chinese take out, I know a great place" and proceeds to speak in what I presume to be fluent chinese (most likely written into the script). Does anyone speak chinese? What does he say?|||he orders chop suey,pork in veggies,moo shui and then the sodas.

Ingredients :
3/4cupCold Water

Right now there're Iron chefs representing American, Italian, Greek and Japanese cuisine. Why not Chinese? Chinese cuisine is unarguably one of the most popular in the world. Chinese take-out is just as popular as pizza and other American fast food.|||because they can't handle china's awesomeness.|||There all on Iron Chef Japan|||Well, lets see.........Chef Kat Kora is famous for Greek Cuisine but is also an accomplished Pasty Chef. Chef Michael Simon is from Cleveland, family from Greece and cooks every type of cuisine, Chef Molto Mario is authentic Italian, through and through but has won many challenges cooking Spanish, French and pastries as well. Chef Bobby Flay has a main background in the fusion of New York, Spanish, Mexican but has won many challenges cooking Italian, French and Asian fusion, Chef Morimoto is classic Japanese, but can cook ANY cuisine...........but, they all can because they are the creme de la creme of Chefs and there are probably millions more out there to find and put up on the challenging block. Yes, Chinese cuisine is extremely popular with all the flavors, technique and has influenced millions of other tastes around the world but then again, so does Spanish and Mexican cuisine. Why is there no French Chef? They practically invented cooking................ I think this show is about the food but I do agree with you on a certain level. I just love and respect that each Chef does have a certain area of expertise and comfortability of maybe one cuisine, but they also have the highest talents of cooking a myriad of cuisines as well. That's what it's about, in my opinion. This was an interesting question, thanks for asking and Have a GREAT Sunday!
When I get Chinese take out the rice is sticky...How can I make this at home?|||You need a rice cooker. That's why Chinese restaurant rice always tastes better. Or, you can buy glutinous rice at an Asian grocery store and cook it. Glutinous rice is very sticky and is used to cook desserts such as sweet sticky rice. The nonsweet version is served as a side with many dishes.
http://www.examiner.com/x-1445-Philadelp鈥?/a>|||Make sure to use Asian rice (imported from Japan, Thailand, Korea, etc). American-made rice doesn't have the same texture.
And the other answerer was right, cook the rice in a rice cooker. Don't use a pan. |||Its called Uncle Bens Express.. at your local..umm Walmart?
i was just wondering cuzzz we order Chinese take out soo?|||If the question is do they order delivery or takeout I would say mostly no. If the question is do they eat American food then the answer is the young generation and people with money do. Here are some differences.
-Chinese people tend to stay at McDonalds and KFC much longer than Americans do. We treat it as fast food that we get fast, eat and leave, or go through the drive through. Chinese will often spend an hour or more in the restaurant chatting. To them the atmosphere is part of the draw.
- American fast food is not cheap food in China. KFC and those restaurants are the same price if not a little more expensive than in the USA. People can get a better more filling meal at local Chinese restaurants for less than $2.
- Most older people don't like it. You will see mostly people under 30 eating American fast food. If you see older people there it is usually because they have a child or grandchild that made them go.
- Delivery at the office is getting more and more popular, but you rarely see people ordering delivery at home in China. Chinese people treat meals as social events more than Americans usually do.
Hope this answers your question|||you must understand that most "Chinese food" in America is Americanized Chinese food and very different from real Chinese food which is too exotic for most Americans. The wonton soup has seaweed in it. Other items include duck tongue, very spicy sauces and other things.
In China, you'll find a lot of other Asian food as well as other types. Italian, Mexican, and others. In China there are kiosks with quick take out for commuters and others looking for a quick bite. Most of it is Chinese food but you may occasionally find a McDonalds or something similar in larger cities.|||McD, KFCs are very few and only restricted to big metro es...considering billions of chinese population these restaurant don't even sell to one % of the population.
.In McD or KFC in Shanghai or Beijing, you will see 30% non-chinese travelers are eating the food they can trust...rest of the customers are young chinese kids who drops in there more to "show-off" rather than getting hooked by the taste. So they stay there for an hour hopping that at least somebody would see them:)
What you order as "Chinese Takeout" is miles away from authentic Chinese food....it's Chinese American Food. As far as eating out....urban chinese prefers to eat out than to make a meal at home....street side vending carts are the most popular....restaurants of all sizes also sell food till early morning....thousands of variety of food....they prefer eat out than take out....
Honestly speaking. according to Chinese taste.....American foods are bland.....unhealthy too. Obesity is not a major health concern in China becoz of their healthy food.|||I'd say merely the middle and upper class do. And they are not a large proportion of the Chinese population and they live in cities.
People living in rural areas still prefers traditional Chinese cuisine and they cook themselves.
In cities we have all those kind of western junk foods and young people love it especially.|||TO BE VERY HONEST WITH YOU A VERY SMALL PERCENTAGE DO . BUT THE MINORATIES DO NOT. WHY BECAUSE THEY ARE VERY HEALTHY EATERS 95 PERCENTAGE OG THEM EAT WHITE RICE IN EVERY COURSE MEAL.|||Yeah, McDonalds, Burger king, etc. are all American and in China.|||They go to McDonald's, KFC, Pizza Hut, etc...|||Yeah. They like our junk food or fast food.|||Maybe when bored, or with a death wish.|||LOL! maybe!!|||of course|||We throw rice at weddings... do the Chinese throw hotdogs?
Ok so there is this Chinese take out place right by my house and I go there every once in a while to get some take out. Well actually you can say I go there to look at this one guy. I am 22 (gay guy) and he looks to be about 24. I see him and he is so dreamy and hott and good looking and everything about him is just perfect. I have no idea if he is gay but one thing for sure is he speaks no English so he never understands me when I talk to him.
He just smiles back at me when I talk and then some lady walks in and translates for him or something. But man he is really cute and I want to know what I should do here? Should I just learn Chinese so I can talk to him in Chinese and see if he would like to go out on a date with me? I am going crazy because I saw him like 2 days ago and he was happy to see me again but I cannot get him off my mind.|||Sounds like a crush to me, and a cute one at that!
I say you do learn a little chinese. Maybe don't be so forward and ask him out, but say something else like "I'm trying to learn chinese, do you know a good place where I can learn it?" or maybe say "I'd really like to learn Chinese, do you think you can teach me, I can teach you some English if you'd like?"
It shows that you're interested without throwing yourself too out there and feeling lame later.
If it fails, at least you made a new friend and picked up a new language. :)|||I feel for you-I have the biggest crush on the guy who works at my take-out Chinese place. I like order from there twice a week & its in the hood and there are like 3 take-out places closer to where I live.
Mine speaks perfect English, but unfortunately is straight. I mistake good service & freindly people for flirting too often.|||you are Infinitely more determined than i would be if you're willing to lean the language =S i do compliment you.
i might find out if he was interested in guys at all, then maybe if i was Very seriously interested learn some of the language, and in the meantime maybe text and/or email with translation, or something like that?
other than that, i really don't know =/.|||He's not smiling because he likes you he's smiling because he's confused. In their culture when they don't know what your saying or understand they smile. Unless you speak chinese I wouldn't bother|||Find out if he is gay first, then get to know him, and then ask him out. Go head, you got this Closets.|||idk what to say. get an interpratpr or write it out. or just kiss him!|||Seems kind of silly, but just ask the girl to ask him out for you and if he says yes... learn chinese ;P
I have tried a few General Tso's chicken recipes from Recipezaar, but most of the recipes there seem to be fancy restaurant type recipes and taste NOTHING like the type of General Tso's you get from Chinese places that can be found in the mall or Chinese take-out places. For example, I LOVE the General Tso's from Manchu Wok but haven't been able to find a recipe that tastes even remotely like it.
Does anyone have any recipes that aren't the "fancy restaurant" type General Tso's but more like "fast food" type of General Tso's?|||Give this one a try...we love it:
General Tso's Chicken
By S. John Ross
* 1 lb chicken thighs, boned and cubed
* 3 eggs, beaten
* 1/2 cup and 2 tsp cornstarch
* 5 dried pepper pods
* 1-1/2 tbsp rice vinegar
* 2 tbsp rice wine
* 3 tbsp sugar
* 3 tbsp soy sauce
In a large bowl, thoroughly blend the 1/2 cup of cornstarch and the eggs; add the chicken and toss to coat. If the mixture bonds too well, add some vegetable oil to separate the pieces.
In a small bowl, prepare the sauce mixture by combining the 2 tsp cornstarch with the wine, vinegar, sugar and soy sauce.
First-Stage Frying: Heat 1-2 inches of peanut oil in a wok to medium-high heat (350-400o). Fry the chicken in small batches, just long enough to cook the chicken through. Remove the chicken to absorbent paper and allow to stand (this step can be performed well in advance, along with the sauce mixture, with both refrigerated).
Second-Stage Frying: Leave a tablespoon or two of the oil in the wok. Add the pepper pods to the oil and stir-fry briefly, awakening the aroma but not burning them. Return the chicken to the wok and stir-fry until the pieces are crispy brown.
The General's Favorite Sauce: Add the sauce-mixture to the wok, tossing over the heat until the sauce caramelizes into a glaze (1-2 minutes). Serve immediately. Serves 4, along with steamed broccoli and rice.|||I have one on my blog that taste the same to me, I love it as well.

Ok so first order of business for those of you who followed up on me from what happened earlier I am find now. Doing good been checked out and everything is in good working condition. Just have a little headache but that should go away soon they told me.
About the Chinese guy- He works at this Chinese take out place by my house and I see him there all the time. He looks to be about 24 and I am 22 (gay guy). Not sure if he is gay but every time I go he is there and will not take his eyes off me. I always talk to him but because he cannot understand me as he knows no English then he smiles and the Chinese lady has to translate for him. I wish to ask him out on a date but how? I am not sure what to do cause he knows no English and it would be weird having that lady next to us during dinner translating for him. Is it hard to learn Chinese? My goal was to ask him out on a date in Chinese. I saw him there like 3 days ago.|||I'm so not racist, if you like him, just be polite at him.
Why don't you ask someone who is good at Chinese and write down the words then give it to your boy?|||look up "want to go out sometime" or something like that on a translator and write it down (or save it to your phone or something) and look up all the possible answers he could say. you dont have to learn the whole language.|||Try this 我很喜欢你。 你愿意跟我约会马？It means I really like you. Would you go on a date with me. You can copy and paste or use google translate to learn how to say it.|||I used google translator to talk to a chinese person who spoke english. He was mad when he found out what I was doing.
How are you feeling btw, did you go to the hospital?|||You could ask some of your friends who know Chinese and ask them to write the words that you wanted to tell him down. But be careful, sometimes... you know... friends might play a prank on you.|||I honestly wouldn't bother with it, the relationship can't really progress anywhere if you guys can't communicate properly...
Chinese pick up line "Ching chong soy ting lee goau to sun", say that to him and he will be sucking ur cock.|||Google translate|||Are you serious?
Had Chinese food at a local Chinese take-out joint in my area. Had sesame chicken + fried rice, egg roll. This morning about 12 - 14 hours later I start throwing up. I didn't have a headache or anything, wasn't dizzy and didn't have a sore throat. Most of the vomit (ew) was more like stomach acid, but I know it came from the food I had last night that I mentioned. Does it sound like I have the Chinese Restaurant Syndrome? Your thoughts?|||Probably not .
Maybe an ingrdient used in it , you were allergic too
or you couldnt digest it properly .
Thats why you vomitted .
Make sure u drink lots of water .
And if this still keeps happening
go to the doctors
there might be something wrong with your digestions .|||Now days when u go2 any chinese rest, its not Chinese anymore, vietnam ppl have over here in CA taken over far to many of these restraunts use bad health sanitation.Hav called up health dept who have sited many in our cities(No hate)Health dept shut sev restraunts down,frm food poisoning,poor habits Report Abuse
like the ones you get chinese take-out in. i need to know how to measure it. is it length by width by height or something else like length by width by depth? and what order do you put it in?|||you need to times the length, width, and height to find the volume- or how much space it contains, if you just what the sides times the length and width of one side and multiply that by four.|||get a ruler and measure the height from top to bottom. then measure the bottom of the box from side to side. order?
I went to Paris, France about 4 years ago, and I was staying in the Montmartre area. There was this little spaghetti place that served different pasta types and sauces in chinese take-out boxes. Does anyone know the name of this place??? It would be very helpful! Thanks!|||It's probably "Pasta Break" on St. Germain.|||Sorry, there are so many restaurants in Paris and I am not familiar w/ this one. Perhaps you will jog your memory once you walk around Montparnasse. Even if you cannot find it again, there are plenty of nice cafes/restaurants to choose from.|||That sounds like the chain of restaurants called "Mezzo di Pasta". They're all over Paris. Link below goes to a map.|||More info??? Was it near the Sacre Coeur?..near/west of the Moulin Rouge?..Near the main drag (excuse the pun) around Pigalle/Clinchy/Blanche/Anvers?-landmark鈥?would help.
If you're a vegetarian, then don't you miss eating Chinese take-out or eating at Chinese restaurants, since most (if not many) Chinese dishes involve meat (i.e. sweet 'n sour pork, beef and broccoli, etc.)|||I'm vegan and I eat Chinese food all the time:
http://vegweb.com/index.php?board=374.0;鈥?/a>|||Americanized Chinese food has a lot of meat, but traditionally, the Chinese don't eat quite as much meat as it might seem. Also, most American Chinese restaurants have at least 5 or 6 tofu dishes and plenty of vegetable dishes too. The only thing is some use lo-mein or chow-mein noodles that have egg in them. As a vegan, you'd have to check on that. And some sauces are made using meat based broth or some fish products. But, it's super easy (and much cheaper!) to make your own Chinese anyway. Just last weekend I made some vegan General Tso's tofu & veggie chow-mein & it was delicious even to my non-vegan friends & family. The only thing missing was the fortune cookies because I forgot to buy them when I was out so I had a friend pick some up on her way over, but the ones she bought weren't vegan so I didn't have any. :(|||Chinese Restaurants make sesame tofu and general tso's tofu with rice. It is tasty and vegetarian.
I am lucky enough to also live near a chinese restaurant that sells vegetarian mock chicken, beef, pork, and duck. They taste like real meat but are made with vegetable protein, wheat gluten, and a sauce.|||No way! Traditional Chinese food is very light on the meat anyway (it's why there were so few incidences of cancer in China before they started eating more like us) and most dishes feature plenty of veggies - just leave out the meat! A lot of Chinese are Buddhists and they don't condone killing animals for food, so there are a LOT of veg Chinese places out there. Probably more so than any other kind of veg place, actually.|||Nope, there's still a lot of Veggie options at most Chinese take-out places. Some of the things I like are Vegetable egg rolls, vegetable fried rice, vegetable soup, lo mein noodles, etc... Now, Vegans on the other hand would probably have a hard time seeing as how a lot of the vegetarian dishes have egg... =0|||i still eat chinese. actually there is a chinese buffet in the town i live in, my boyfriend and i go there all the time, and they have a hibachi bar where you take a plate and fill it with veggies (cabbage, zuccini, mushroom, watercress, the works!) then you hand it to the chef and he puts it on the hibachi grill for you its great! i always load my plate, and the chef asks me every time "no meat??" lol i always say no. plus they have noodles and veggie rice so yeah, its good and i stil get my once a month chinese food fix :)|||Our local Chinese take-away offers some vegetarian items on the menu. They even made a dish I asked them to make up for me and its now one of my favourites when we get a take-away. Mixed vegetables with garlic and black bean sauce... Yum!!!!! They don't offer near as many choices as the Indian take-away though!!!!!|||Nah. I still go out with my friends to Chinese take-out places, and its not a problem, actually less of a problem than regualr American places (bob evans, fast foods, diners, stuff like that). They have a ton of veggie dishes, and veggie fried rice which I always ate a ton of anyways :)|||Many of your better Chinese restaurants offer vegetarian menu choices. YOu can also make you own Chinese meals.
BTW: Tofu comes from China, they call it Bean Curd.|||Most Chinese places have vegetarian choices sinse they eat very little meat anyway. When I first started out I did miss stuff like that but now I cannot see myself ever eating meat again.|||no
i have take away all the time
there are plenty vege options, the indians and chinese take aways have a LOT of vegetables in their foods|||Nope. I make my own. It's easier, cheaper and healthier. American chinese food is easy to make at home.|||they offered several really good option such as egg, fried vegetables and black bean pumpkin. Yummy!|||Morning Star Farms vegetarian sweet and sour chicken! And I still like rice and veggies.
Yum!|||i get mock duck
for Pizza orders or chinese take out probably not, but for a restaurant like Max and Ermas, the food is given by the bartenders and wasn't sure. What do you think? Thanks.|||You're supposed to but really the tipping thing is going way too far and I draw the line at tip jars in Dunkin Donuts. Stop the insanity!|||some times I do but I don't think they except it but some times I leave a $1.00|||You should ALLWAYS tip a bartender,their tips are what pays their bills and if you are occupying their time for just about any reason they deserve a tip.Bringing you your food even though its take-out is providing you a service when they could have been pouring someone else a drink. |||It depends if they do that good of a job to deserve it! Tips have to be earned!! They cant just get it when they feel like it. That includes waitors, bartenders, chinese, pizza delivery people, or whatever. If the service is excellent and they are on time doing well, a few bucks wouldnt hurt. Theres a difference between being a cheapskate and not tipping when they dont deserve a tip!|||NO! As a matter of fact that tip jar at the register is ANNOYING... Basically, ALL they are doing is bringing you your food, which you did the work of calling in and DRIVING to pick up.
If you are going tip them, then you should tip at McDonalds....And you didn't call McDs...|||No, and yes, as you suggest, for the latter types.|||I always tip. I tend to use the same places for take out and they remember me, so I think you get better service. I don't tip alot usually $1 or $2 dollars.
Chinese take-out is amongst the cheapest food you can get whereas Japanese (which doesn't even exist in take-out form around here) is always so expensive! Whose idea was that! haha|||Chinese food is more Americanized, therefore, more normal, inexpensive, very common foods can be used.
Japanese food uses more "specialty" ingredients- such as miso, seaweed, udon (noodles can be found here, but udon isn't the same as other noodles..).
Another thing to think of is the ingredients. I guess this ties into the more americanized food, but Chinese food uses less expensive ingredients. Japanese restaurants usually use expensive raw fish, highly trained sushi chefs, ect. It's more expensive.|||Japanese is more expensive because the food (usually Sushi) requires more expensive materials.
Take for example. Fatty Tuna which cost about 200 dollars for 3 lbs.
http://www.firstcoastgourmet.com/Toro_Fa鈥?/a>|||I definitely agree with lookng at the ingredients. Chinese uses a lot of noodle and rice, Japanese uses miso and seaweed and plenty of fish etc, amongst other things.|||That's bcz you have not go to the expensive Chinese resteraunt. There do are many expensive ones in the world.|||Look at the ingredients. That's usually a key feature.|||two words: cheap labor.

My sister ate Chinese take-out yesterday and now her stomach hurts. She can't walk and it's hard for her to sit up and has really bad abdominal pain.

Should I take her to the hospital or should she just take Motrin or something?|||You can get sick after eating any food that's contaminated. Her symptoms sound like all she really needs to do is go to the bathroom. If she had food posioning she would be throwing up and would have started throwing up with in about two hours of eating. Give her a laxative.|||yes you should take her to the hospital and sometimes you can get sick after eating chinese food because sometimes they don't really clean there hands when they make there food and one time at one of our Chinese food place those guy sneezed then he wiped his nose with is hands and touched our food ewwwwww!!!|||You can get sick from any food if it was not handled properly. Even tomatoes and cucumbers have been found to have food poisoning bacteria.
It would not hurt to bring her to a doctor.|||She should see a medical doctor, it might be food poisoning.It could also be M.S.G flavor enhancer,it makes many people ill
It seems every time I get Chinese take out it is different, with different ingredients adn different levels of spiciness, even though I order the same dish every time. Also, what is your favorite dish to order?|||It depends on the restaurant. I frequent certain ones and avoid others. Sometimes the chef will change (frequently at some places) and the food will be different. My favorite place has been very consistent for a long time now. Love it.
My favorite dish is just about anything that isnt seafood. Pork, beef, chicken, veggies, anything. People always tell me my love of Chinese food is gross because it's cats and dogs, but 1) I dont believe that, and 2) even if it was it tastes DELICIOUS.|||suck a dick or die muter ******|||i dont trust some chainese food from some restorante
I had some Chinese take out for dinner that made me feel really sick for the rest of the night. Do you think I can get a refund? I have the receipt and what I didn't eat.|||No.
You can't get a refund like this.
Maybe if you went straight back, within a half hour and complained because there was a dead rat in the rice, or maggots in the rice. Of course, these are typical ingredients for any chinese restraunt. LOL
Chinese food always makes me sick. I hope you're feeling better.|||Oh my, I hope you aren't serious.|||You should contact the Chinese and make a complaint. They will never know unless you tell them. I doubt whether they will refund you but you never know - they could give you a discount on your next purchase.|||GOOD LUCK!!!|||You might have a better case if you had got a medical doctor to certify "food poisoning", otherwise it's your word against them. Restaurant receipt and remainder food just mean you took out the food from that joint, nothing else.
Have experienced this before, one time in a posh Italian restaurant. Incidents like these always leave a bad impression of the restaurant permanently - avoid them like plague. May be a good idea to make some kind of noise in the local media and relevant consumer body.|||i would go back and complain to the manager. if he gives you static, report him to the board of health. i was in a japanese restaurant one time, and my friend lifted his spoon and there was a bug in the soup. i had soup in my mouth and i spit it back in the bowl. i insisted we leave IMMEDIATELY and he though we had to pay. i said HELL no. i called the manager, explained in a polite quite voice, and we left without paying one thin dime|||I highly doubt it. Most likely it's food poisoning or something. You should call the restaurant and complain, and maybe avoid that place and try a new place?|||highly doubt it, the take out place does not know what conditions you kept the food under or when you consumed it after it left their restaurant, so proving it would be very difficult on your part unless a few dozen others had the same complaint on the same night from eating the same food........but, good luck
can anyone tell me how to make chips (french fries) the chinese take out way? they taste so good what oil do they use? do they deep fry them? and also chinese curry sauce how do they make that if anybody has tried there fries and curry you will know what i mean|||I'm like you, I love chips from the Chinese takeaway. So much nicer than the sort you get from fish and chip shops. I think it is because the oil they are fried in is also used for cooking chinese food, so it is slightly flavoured.|||MSG!|||Well my wife who is Indian uses turmeric, hot peppers, some cilantro, and whatever she has on had, maybe some garam masala.
And sauces can vary a lot, but we don't call them sauces, but gravies.|||chinese do not usa Curry curry has been used by Indian,the chips ,if you want similar and better frite in peauts or corn or sun flower oil no deep frite,ifm you use the kind of vegetetable oil used in the take away will became no good.more do no use frozen chips that you find in the supermarket but cut the fresh one no more thick than thin,i am a chips lover and i studied the best way for enjoy it, one way for enjoy more is to put the chips hot in a glass pot were bifore you have to put many garlic thin cutted and rosmary and salt put the chips there shake and enjoy|||they are chinese!!|||nihaw , go to www.allrecipes.com

every time i get Chinese take-out, delivery, or go to a buffet the chicken is always hard, thick, and small turd-shaped? it looks that way from every single chinese restaurant. One time i went to a chinese restaurant and sat in and the food was really fresh and good, but why does the chicken always look and feel weird and clumpy?|||You're actually schizophrenic and seeing things. In a past life you were a Chinese servant Cinderella type who had to fetch buckets of water, rub the aged emperor's corned & flaking feet, and just before bed, you had to behead the royal chickens. In order to evade this sickening and onerous task, one night you cleverly substituted the chicken parts with turds from the royal chamber pots. The next day, the Chinese chefs used your turd substitutes, killing off the entire village. You suffer from schizophrenic delusions brought about by pent up guilt from your past life. Better stick to Thai food.|||because you have made poor choices in restaurants. If you can't trust what you get for take out how can you ever go there to eat in?|||Chinese chickens are retarded|||One question, why do you keep ordering chicken if it reminds you of a turd?|||U went in to one of those the cook is learned by garbage in and garbage out.|||Probably because it might be one!!|||It ain't chicken darling.

you know when you get vegetables from chinese take out and it has that sauce in it? what are the ingredients? is it vegetarian/vegan?|||It is made from stock -- usually chicken stock, corn starch and either soy sauce or salt. Unless the Chinese restaurant specializes in vegetarian dishes - they rarely have vegetable stock on hand.|||That depends, and you would have to ask the specific shop but it quite often contains oyster sauce, or another fish based sauce, which is not vegetarian.|||No, it's not vegetarian. But you can easily duplicate it at home using vegetable stock
It's like everywhere I go in any state, there's like so many chinese food restaurants. In 1 street, here in NJ, there is like 1 chinese take out on the left side of the street and another chinese take out, on the other side of the street. Why are there so many and less Japanese, Korean, etc?|||Same in London, also with Indian takeaways.
Its because many Chinese are proud of their cooking and have potential to make a successful business out of it...so they do. It's a common practise among them. And its obviously very popular cuisine, so why stop if the money is coming in?
Multicultural areas have more variety of restaurants too, which contributes.
Enjoy your Chinese food.|||so, um.. again, how many states have you been in? apparently you've not been to mine where every other storefront it's italian.
yeh, until you've done some actual traveling.... don't go on about how it's all that, when it's not.

and give me sashimi! (now that's good jap cuisine!)
and other places i used to reside it was peruvian foods to salvadorian and iranian.....
heh, so far you'[ve only mentioned ONE state and that doesn't count.|||Most of the Japanese or Korean restaurants I've seen are trying to be trendy and expensive. Whereas Chinese places seem to be able to offer a selection of exotic Asian cuisine that's both delicious and affordable.|||Because Americans enjoy cheap, plentiful heaps of food loaded with preservatives.

I've tried searching it out and I always came up short.

I'm looking for a clear listing of most all chinese takeout meals and their calorie counts. Particularly, at minimum, if you can find me the calorie count of a pint of shrimp and broccoli with the cup of white rice, I'd love you. That's what I eat 90% of the time. I'm on a binge lately trying to find calorie counts for as much as possible, and the chinese food has just been giving me a headache because I usually have at minimum one chinese meal a week.

Whenever I go to a chinese take out place and I get bbq sauce, I have no idea what type of sauce it is! I have tried finding it and I just can't and they never tell me. What is it made of?|||Its the dripping of the ribs when they cook or the stock. Typically mixed with either hoisin and sugar plus a little ketchup or they mix it with LKK chinese marinade.|||it's probably soya sauce.
or it could be a mix of different spices but i'm pretty sure there is soya sauce in there.

I want to get chinese take out but I was wondering, how much does a pint and a quart of fried rice usually cost? How do I find a cheap place or are they all the same?
I looked online, but I cant find menus :/|||It will vary depending on if it is one of their specialties and if they make it to order or scoop it out of a steamer pan. You have to call them to find out how much they charge but some places will substitute fried rice at a small charge when you order a meal that includes white rice.|||call the restaraunt in question.

Lets start getting worried when some country destroys someones else's satellite.|||not provocative. just a statement that they now can kinetically kill a satellite.

All I know is.. is that the U.S. better start weaponizing space just in case of the future with China. So I think it was a statement.. saying that they can do what they want -- but two can play that game.. and the U.S. plays it very well!

I'm asking because I'm on a diet (not a specific one, but just trying to eat more healthy so I can lose a few pounds, not that im fat, but I am putting on a little weight) and I was just wondering how healthy chinese food is for you, since we usually have it every Friday.
Chinese people eat it all the time, and lets me honest, whos ever actually seen a fat chinese person? So, how healthy is it?|||My wife is Chinese so here's the deal with 'Chinese takeout'. Chinese people don't eat that stuff. They make it to suit the taste of Americans. Chinese takeout is loaded with fat and sauces with lots of sugar. Real Chinese food is nothing like that and that's why almost all Chinese people are thin.|||not healthy. seriousy! its filled with oils, gease, and freaking sauces!!!!!!!!! chinese people are skinny cause thats there body type! and the chinese food in america is much different then in actual china!!!!!!!!|||Chinese are healthy but rarely do they eat take out food. Fast food chinese and most restaurants fill their food with msg. Have you ever noticed how thirsty you are after eating Chinese food? If you want to eat Chinese, cook vegetables and very lean meat, chicken and pork. Stay away from the rice and chow mein and you should do fine.|||I'll give you some advice
Don't go on a diet. Because that means you will eventually go off it.
Change what you eat for life.
Chinese food is not healthy, it contains a lot of fats and calories, especially those noodles.|||Yes it's healthy. Eat it everyday. Yum Yum!|||It's vital to eat effectively to stay in good health. Colon cleanse is an amazing suplement that keeps you in good health and also has the bonus of helping you to lose loads of weight. There is a free trial on right now at http://gijeps.fitnesspage.info , give it a try, what's the worst that could happen?|||It is not the origin of the food that matters. Order something healthy from the menu, no matter what kind of restaurant..
And yes, there are fat Chinese people. Obesity is a huge and rising problem in China just as in America.|||99% of a Chinese take out menu is horrendous for your health! The other 1% is actually very good for you. Next time you order, try steamed vegetables with brown rice, or steamed chicken and vegetables with brown rice. They usually put sauce on the side. Go easy on the sauce, and you'll get your Chinese food fix AND still be healthy!
FYI - the joke is on us. Chinese restaurant workers rarely eat the food they serve. If you'll notice, they either stick with soup, rice, or steamed vegetables. You have to wonder about food that even the servers won't touch!|||LOL...they don't eat That kind of Chinese Food. This "Chinese Food" is americanized. It's not entirely bad for you, it's all about portion control. For instance on Weight Watchers, Chicken and Broccolli is only 4 Points per cup. I used to eat 2 cups of it, while on Weight Watchers. I also enjoyed Mei Fun, and Lo Mein. :) Don't get those Huge Platters, just order a pint, they are just right.|||Chinese food from a take out menu and Chinese food that people in china would eat are incredibly different.
Wherever you live, the people are more inclined to eat food with grease, fat, seasonings, and sauces...that's just the way it is, so they altered Chinese food to make it more palatable for the people in the area. So takeout Chinese food is very bad for you. If your going to eat it I suggest getting a dish with veggies in it. Then again, now a days the world has gone on a health kick, so do some research, you may be able to find a Chinese takeout place that serves healthier food.
Pan Asian food is very good actually (the places that they fry up your food with water not oil, right in front of you. It usually contains lean proteins, lots of veggies, etc, and tastes really good, but is much better for you.
Or go Japanese, some sushi's are also very good for you (just watch out for the rolls that contain mayonnaise and other such sauces.|||Some people no matter what they eat, they gain weight, that's in the genes. Just to let u know fried rice,all u see rice,vegetable. chicken, Its the salt, oil, soy sauce contain lots sodium, and msg they put in

WHen you pay cash for that stuff the don't claim it all and save on paying taxes.|||3 dollars hehe|||$5.00|||20%. that's $4 on a $20 order|||depends on the amount of the bill, but no less than $3.00-5.00. the $1.50 charge doesn't go to the driver.|||if they already charge you for th delivery then that goes straight to the delivery driver. I know this as i used to deliver pizzas. so I would not tip but it would be nice to tip him even if it`s "keep the change" it may be as little as 10p every penny helps|||Tip 10-16% of your total order. I would tip the same as eating at a restaurant, and base it on the service you got.|||20% minus half the dellivery fee. Because the driver probabaly only gets half of that. So if the bill is $20.00 you'd give him $4.00 (which is 20%) minus the fee (75cents) so about $3.25
If the weather is bad give 25%|||He gets paid by the Chinese place. Tip him zero.
If he relies on tips to make his living then bad luck, let him get a job that pays better.
Of course, my opinion may differ from a lot of peoples because i'm in Australia and tipping is not customary here.

This all depends on the cost of living in your area however.|||3-5 bucks is fine|||like 15-20% an easy way to do it is to just double the tax (at least in CA)|||i usually give delivery drivers 5 dollars. if you think about it they have to drive to your house and give you the food. i always feel bad for them. The 1.50 goes towards their gas mileage. And at restaurants, 20% is very much appreciated just double the amount of the first number of the bill. For instance, if the bill is 30.00, 6 dollars is a good tip.|||I usually tip delivery drivers according to the price of the bill - I never order much Chinese food at once, so I usually give him $2 - $3. If there's a bunch of us and the bill is $25 or more, I'll tip $5.

good luck|||chineese food is one of the worse kinds of take out food. High in fat, calories, sodium, and msg. Prob a little more than a 1000 calories, especially if you eat all of it.
Does anyone have a recipe for the sauce? I'm guessing it's a mixture of honey, hoisen, and soy. Let me know.|||Try this brown sauce recipe, we love it.
* 1/4 c. (or less) soy sauce
* 1/2 c. water
* 0.5 - 1 Tbl. grated ginger
* 1 tsp. chopped garlic (1 clove)
* 1 Tbl. cornstarch
* 1 Tbl. molasses
1) Cook any meat first. Remove it from the pan.
2) Stir-fry your veggies.
3) Mix up all the sauce ingredients in a measuring cup.
4) Add a few pieces of hot veggies to the measuring cup to pre-heat the cornstarch.
5) Dump all the sauce into the pan with the veggies (and add the meat back, if using) and bring to a boil.
6) Simmer for a minute or two until the sauce is clear and thickened.|||It's probably oyster sauce. I use a very simple recipe of blanching the vegetables in hot water, then drizzling the sauce over:
http://www.chinesefood-recipes.com/chine鈥?/a>
Alternatively, you can fry some garlic in a pan, add the broccoli and fry for 1-2 minutes.
Then pour a mix of 1 tbsp oyster sauce and a little water, cover and cook for a further 2-3 minutes.
Finally, dissolve a little corn starch in water and pour over the vegetables, until the sauce thickens.|||ahhh the infamous brown sauce. i heard heard its oyster sauce and soy sauce mixed together with some cornstarch to thicken.|||is soy soaud3 qne rlo43 wduw

I can always tell whether a restaurant will be any good by it's egg rolls.
I truly hate a ton of RAW cabbage and no meat inside when I order a pork egg roll. So if the establishment doesn't pass the egg roll test, they don't get a full order.
I like spare ribs, sweet N sour chicken, pork fried rice, WonTon soup, and some kind of shrimp dish with a seafood type sauce.

there's a little chinese take out restaurant by my house. you can't go in there and get served ur food cuz it's only a carryout place. anyways, I've heard that when you get carryout food from restaurants you're suppose to tip, does this count to chinese carry out? do others tip?|||My local Chinese restaurant has a tip jar at the cash register- at first I didn't tip- but after I found it was so good and they were really quick- I started leaving like a $2 tip in the jar- now they know me by my phone # and always give me extras- kindness pays too|||The good Chinese restaurant in our town, where they prepare each order individually, rather than scooping it up from a buffet, has a discreet sign posted, "Tips are appreciated." Whenever we eat there we notice that they do quite a lot of take-out business. The same servers who wait on the tables also gather the take-out orders, package them up, and bring them to the waiting customers. They're losing an opportunity to wait on a table and earn a tip, so I think it's only fair to give them a tip for a take-out order.
Your restaurant may be different, but considering that Chinese food is plentiful and economical, why not give a tip of about 10%? If you're a regular customer, they'll recognize you and treat you very well.|||If you walk into a place and carry out your own food? No you do not tip.
If they deliver, yes.
If they serve you at a table, yes.
If you are at a buffet, and the waitress actually brings you drinks and clears your plates while you eat, you tip $1 per person.|||Personally, no. I tip is usually given as a "Thank you" for someone's services, ie delivery to your home, or, in a sit down restaurant, delivery to your table. For carry out, all a worker does is put your food in a bag and hand it to you.|||No. Normally, I don't tip on carry out food. In a way, it's fast food. You don't think twice about tipping at McDonald's or Taco Bell. The only exception to this would be if the service was exceptional in some way. I find it necessary to tip the driver when the food is delivered.|||Not really if its like a fast food place. Still no tip because there's no serving.
Which do you choose and why do you choose it?|||Chinese take out.
Because I prefer it.|||Chinese <33333

There is only one Chinese place in my area that delivers.. and I can't leave my house at the moment and I want to order from there. I am a noob vegetarian and I have no clue what to order. I'm used to ordering beef and broccoli, chicken fried rice, and things like that, so I don't even know the names of any vegetarian dishes... It's not really an option to just ask on the phone because they hardly speak English and it would be too complicated. ya know..
But yeah.. I'm starving and I just want some suggestions on what to order.. I know that basically all Chinese places carry the same foods.. So what do you order when you get Chinese? I know I want to get vegetable dumplings . [is that even what they are called?] and some kind of rice.. what else can I ask for that will be filling, tasty, and satisfying?|||Vegetable fried rice, vegetable chow mein, or vegetable chop suey.|||My favorite thing to order is veggie fried rice and garlic broccoli.|||Vegetable dumplings often contain pork fat. Don't trust that they are vegetarian unless you can really talk to them about it.
You can ask if they have mixed vegetables with tofu. A lot of Chinese Restaurants have something called Buddha's delight, with tofu and veggies. Since buddhists are vegetarians, it's a pretty good bet that this will be meat free.
You can try asking them about vegetarian. You mention their English isn't very good, but that may be a common enough question to be unconfusing to them. There are vegetarian buddhists in China, so it's not a foreign concept.
Vegetable fried rice is good only if you can ask if its vegetarian with no meat or shrimp. Otherwise stick to steamed rice.
Have you googled to see if you can find their menu online? A lot of restaurants do that now - even little ones.|||Get the Mei Fun, it is sooooo delicious. It has a great sauce and angel hair pasta and delicious veggies. I was glad I got it! Also, add a veggie egg roll!|||I recommend you ask the restaurant when you call to order. Many things that seem vegetarian may have meat in the sauce and stuff like that. You should ask them specifically. Better safe than sorry.
Even though we do like to try new things, pretty much our standard order for three of us (though one is a voracious husband, the other a teen son):
Large wonton soup, chicken fried rice, beef chop suey, bbq pork chow mein (2), deep fried chicken wings, some kind of ribs - either dry garlic, or honey garlic (sometimes a small order of sweet and sour); deep fried shrimp, sometimes egg rolls (but those are for the next day). One place has awesome coconut buns, so we get those as well.|||Usually stir-fry string beans, or vegetable lo mein. I always order with a side of crab rangoon.

Any ideas on what meal I should choose?|||fried rice n chicken wings|||For pure taste, I like most things in oyster or lobster sauce. However they don't ussaly come with vegitibles. Moo Goo guey pan is a chicken with vegitbiles in a white sauce which is a pretty good standard. Lemon chicken also tastes good but lacks vegitbles. Kung pow chicken is great if you like hot stuff.
I recomend the chicken with vegitibles or the pork lo mein as good standard fare. Some pepole like the combination platters because it comes with an egg roll and seems more like a meal with a smaller main entry.
|||i am not much for the broccoli meal unless its made right.I do not like anything in oyster sauce.UGH!
I go for general tsos chicken hot and spicey or ...
lettuce wraps form pf changs they are to die for.|||My favorites are pork with broccoli or chicken with broccoli. I'll get Moo Goo Gai Pan sometimes if I want mushrooms. And sometimes I'll get sesame chicken, but only if I'm in the mood for lots of chicken.|||a nice light meal

could that be pregnancy or something weird.
i actually felt nauseated in the restraunt and my egg drop soup smells really strong.|||It could be. Sensitivity to smell is a good sign of pregnancy. You can try a pregnancy test but don't be too suprised is it comes back negative. Wait until you miss a period (or start vomiting) until you worry too much about being pregnant.|||well that could be pregnancy or a deversion to chinese food, low blood sugar. It could be a lot of different things.|||well i think you should see a doctor|||not at all see you doctor just in case|||Being nauseated yes, eating chicken no. Take a test.|||you could be pregnant but check with your docter think about the last time you had sex did you use protection think about those things then if you still think you're pregnant then buy a pregnancy test
I've always found that Chinese people don't view vegetarian/vegan food the same way as westerners. Be on the lookout for oyster sauce, which is added to most veg stir fries. Every Chinese menu I've ever seen lists variations of vegetables or tofu in oyster sauce in the vegetarian section of the menu. The safest option is to specifically ask for steamed rice with vegetables and NO (stress this) oyster sauce. Chinese Buddhists have an oyster sauce made from mushrooms which to my knowledge is suitable for vegans - try asking for this. Bon appetit!|||Chinese fried rice should come with eggs, noodle is also made with eggs in it, so you should not have these 2. Therefore you're left with white rice, vegetables, tofu, mushroom. Some restaurants offer rice noodle and they are made with rice flour only so it's vegan.|||Tofu dishes, mushroom fried rice, vegetable stir fry. That's all I can think of, chinese people like to eat meat a lot. You could ask the chef to omit meat in your order.|||Fried tofu and dip in soy sauce or peanut sauce if they have it. Steamed vegetables over white rice although, you'll need to check what kind of broth they use.|||Buddha's feast steamed with steamed rice (not fried)
I would tip if they brought it to your house, if they didn't then leaving one or two bucks isn't going to break your bank either, someone did have to package your food, and make sure it was correct, and make sure you had enough duck sauce and fortune cookies. I waitress, so I tip high everywhere I go. Think about it, yes they make an hourly wage, but do you realize that some waitresses make only 2.63 an hour? How could you not tip good knowing that? Plus I believe in karma, what goes around comes around, so tossing an extra dollar or two really doesn't hurt anything and you might just make someones day a little nicer.|||Yes. Thats how some delivery drivers make there money. They make min wage or maybe less than that.|||no. i didn't know i was supposed to.
this tipping is getting out of hand.|||If they have to deliver you should tip.|||if it is delivery, yes
if it is self pickup, no
and if the resturant only caters to takeouts, then yes|||Tipping is normally reserved for sit-down, but have had really good service from Chinese take-out, and that's a tip for sure. Tipping is always for cheerful, good service. God Bless !!|||yes,at least !$|||depends on the value of food ordered.|||yes 15% because you have to pay for the gas so yes i do.|||Delivered? 10% plus an extra buck or 2 if it's nasty outside. If I pick it up, I might round up a dollar but don't feel a tip is necessary.|||YES at least $5. Put yourself in their shoes. Plus if you don't tip, they will mark it on their dats base andthe next time you order for delivery, expect a hair on your mien. I'd rather be Nice than sorry.|||If it is delivered yes, but if I pick it up no.|||nope, i don't tip on take out anywhere..|||Pick up....No. Delivery.....yes...20% tip.|||They deliver yes $2- I pick it up, it makes no sense to tip.|||it would be nice to leave a tip, they did do some work for you, you tip for service and they did supply a service.
however, if you have it delivered, then you definetly do tip.|||No, they did not deliver to your home and you are not eating in so no tip is required.|||Tipping for delivery is a definite YES. When I pick it up, I don't usually tip.|||If it's a delivery, or if you're eating in a restaurant and there's a waiteer serving you, than yea, but if you're just ordering by the counter than no way|||I recently bought some take out from a Mexican restaurant. I ordered directly from the cook. He did all the work, when it came time to pay, the lady cashier took my money, gave me several ones instead of a five, handed it to me, then immediately grabbed the tip jar and shook it in front of me and left it setting in the middle of the counter to be sure I left a tip. I just gave her a dirty look, put my change in my pocket, (all of it.) grabbed my food, and walked out. I have never been back there since, and I never will. It's like she demanded a tip.|||I don't normaly tip for take out just bc you usually have to wait for it. Since you are going to pick it up, they are actually saving money by not having to deliver it. I only tip if it is delivery!|||If they are delivering it, definitely.|||More often than not, yes. I was a waiter for years. They are probably getting the base rate of $2.15 an hour + tips, so I personally feel that if they pull together your order, then they should get a tip. I do; however, find it annoying to see that everyone and their dog has a tip jar out these days.
We have decided on gourmet Jelly Beans as a favor as we both love them, and to tie in to a couple things. The vendor we are going through to get the jellybeans has offered to provide cellophane packets at no extra cost (but we would have to fill them ourselves) but another option I like are mini take out boxes either clear or in white at low cost. Both options would be topped off with ribbon in our colors and will be displayed on silver trays on a special table by the entry/exit, we are not having traditional seating
http://www.simplygreatmeals.com.au/weddi… Or http://www.inkhead.com/UniversalInc/imag… except with jelly beans and no label
Which would be more visually appealing?|||I love the first idea :D those are so cute and especially with bright coloured candies in them! It really makes them POP!|||I like the Chinese boxes with ribbon better, especially if you put them on a silver tray. It will make them look much nicer. If the vendor is offering them to you at no extra cost, I would take them anyway, just in case something happened with the boxes. Always good to have a back up plan.|||Chinese takeout box. However, I had a bride that used something similar to cellophane wrapping (image below).
http://encorepartydjs.myphotoalbum.com/v…
I think either or would work great, just try to personalize it. Make sure your wedding date/formal name/wedding symbol is on your wedding favor.
Good luck and congratulations!
http://encorepartydjs.weblog.com|||I agree, the take out containers make it different, not just like a sack of jelly beans and would probably be easier to fill too, though I'm not sure.|||I prefer the Mini chinese take-out boxes as flavours as they are more unique and visually appealing.|||the boxes look better|||i like the take out boxes, but i think they are overdone, nowadays, honey.
do cell if its free!|||mini chinese take out containers... I always love that it's so clever and works so well.|||I love it!
You just answered my question for me! I was debating the same thing. Bags/pockets versus Boxes.
I am doing custom Fortune Cookies for our favors and have been internally debating of how to present them. I was pretty set on the take-out boxes monogrammed with our names. From there I was hemming and hawing over clear, colored, or a transparent box. I guess this is still my debate, but I totally agree with the others and BOX 100%.
A box is “re-usable” and more memorable or can be used a keepsake. If you have extras you can send them to people who were unable to attend or you can send a small thank you to the people who send the good gifts!
Thanks again for helping me answer myself.
Oh – Check out orientaltrading.com for some good deals on the takeout boxes.
Good luck!
& Congratulations!
nutrition|||very fatty and greasy....stay away!|||Very tasty .... enjoy!|||Great taste but low on nutrition. For nutritional purposes stay with the steamed white rice and choose chicken over pork.

So go ahead and enjoy. ^_^|||A clear soup and a vegtable dish. I wouldn't have a lot of boiled rice. Chinese food can be very healthy. Just don't get eggrolls and some of the fried dishes. Sounds yummy!|||Ask him to get you a vegetarian dish. While it probably will have a sauce with a soup base, it is typically healthier than most meat dishes.|||I always order the chicken and broccoli (good for your "green" day), but ask for it STEAMED and make sure you tell them you want the sauce on the side. Specifically ask for steamed white rice also. With the sauce on the side you can use just a little bit (the sauce is very high in sodium) and it still tastes just as great. My bf is a personal trainer and this was his suggestion to me a while back. I love it and it's all I ever order because it's a very healthy dish and tastes great!|||rice is ok, but id call them up before hand ask what is their lowest calorie/fat meal|||The best thing for you to do is a vegtable dish that is not made with a sweet sauce, the boiled rice would be ok but do not get white rice get a grain rice if they have it. So your thought of curry would be ok I think, but truly your best bet is to skip it all togeather.
hope this helps

Americans have our favorite "Chinese" foods and those who operate restaurants know this. It's a lot cheaper to order menus from supply houses than it is to go to a printer. Therefore, Chinese restaurants use the pre-made menus that they order with their other supplies. It's the same with Mexican restaurants.|||cultural food
like most american places have burgers
genius|||Most of them are their Famous dishes...|||Yes, those are the dishes that sell! Realistically, go to any style of resturant and it will be very similar to all the others of that genre. In italian places, people want pizza, risotto, pasta etc. Chuck a curry on the menu and no one buys it, because if they wanted a curry, they'd have gone to a curry house!|||Most popular items. And the menu will be cheaper, they just change the logo and the phone number.
For take out, it must have something that cook easy and fast. Instead of creating something new and unique, which will induces more explanation to customers. They just go with the most common dishes which almost every chef knows how to make.|||Yes.
First it isn't Chinese Food. It's Chinese'ish Food.
Second, it's what sells.
They put on their menus what people buy, and what people expect to find. Seriously, businesses actually have to put up items on menus that are rarely ordered in order to validate themselves to potential customers. In the case of a video rental outlet, they call all those old movies that consist of less than 5% of thier revenue but take up huge space, Wallpaper.. and they need it.
Anyways, it's not a Chinese thing.. It's a business thing. ;)|||All the American menus have hamburgers and steaks listed..because that is considered American food.|||yeah I noticed that phenomenon too!!! I ate chinese buffet in arkansas, and then I ate at different chinese buffets in Texas and all the places had the exact same food.....prawns, dry salmon, just to name a couple|||moment_in_passing is right
the food is NOT chinese, it is fake and they just want to earn ur money!!!
no difference with "Panda Express"
chinese ppls never go there, hav u noticed?
don't go there, try something else
(shanghainese food rox!)
mail me if u hav questions!|||i dont think they are always the same|||What about the chinese zodiac placemats?
WTF?!?!?|||Just a theory because I've noticed this before too and thought about it. All the Chinese restaurants are controlled by the chinese mob. They all have to buy their products, menus, soy sauce, batter, food, etc. from the mob controlled companies. That's why no matter where you go the food is all the same and tastes nearly the same. Look at the sauce packets and fortune cookies, no matter where you eat they come from the same place.|||Poor thing! Don't get out to eat much, do ya !x? Pizza places and hamburger places have much the same thing, too. The Chinese research the taste of each country and grow menus to the taste of its market. The Chinese have providers for most of their food-stuffs as well as menus and chopsticks. Bulk buying is the same engine driving China. The Chinese are much more organized when it comes to feeding the masses. Chinas' illustrious longevity came with wisdom not lost on such an Imperial Nation.|||Yes, they are all China men.|||i found out in austin tx, the same people own 10 diff restaurants and pretend like they are competitors, i caught one doing that when the menu had the same typo on it!
Hi.
I'm 14 years old and i use to order sweet n sour chicken,sesame chicken,or general tso's which are all fried.
well iv'e changed my eating habits, by cutting out fried foods,pop,sweets,ect. i usually eat them only on friday or saturday.
well my mom might get chinese takeout for lunch today because my sister wants it.
i need to know which one of these are healthier than what i use to get.
Iv'e never had any of these. I KNOW theres a lot of sodium, but just tell me whats in it and if it's fried or not.. Thanks..
1. szechuan chicken
2. Hunan chicken or shrimp
3.CHICKEN CURRY
4.wonton soup
5. chicken or lobster chop suey|||Szechuan chicken, Hunan chicken/shrimp, chicken/lobster chop suey are stir-fried, chicken curry or wonton soup are not 'fried' but to save time, sometimes chicken curry are very fried too so the 'safest' will be wonton soup which requires no frying.
It may not be filling enough so maybe you can consider one serving of plain white rice to go along.
Not sure if that Chinese restaurant serves soup noodle, otherwise you can order prawn / chicken / wonton soup noodle which are also not fried.
Please ask for less salt too.|||Compare to deep frying, yes as food doesn't sits in pool of hot oil (some restaurants use the oil more than once) and they are usually cooked in a shorter time but provided less salt, no msg and not too much sauces. Vegetables must not be overcooked in stir-frying otherwise all goodness will be gone Report Abuse
|||You're better off with the wonton soup. The wontons are boiled in a chicken broth based soup. Other items are either fried (the meat) or it's filled with tons of sauces which means extra calories.|||Chicken LowMein/Chow mein
Most menus say if it is fried. All Veggie entres are not fried. And you can always request your meal not fried too.
I bought some chinese take out Thursday of last week and I didnt eat it all and it is still in the fridge. I was thinking of taking it to work today for lunch. Is it still some good, do you think?|||I would throw it away...after anything has been in my fridge for a week I throw it away no matter what it is.|||What does it smell like? Personally, I won't eat anything more than 2 days' old if it's takeout, or 3 days' old if it's homemade. Especially shrimp! Yikes!! Throw it out!|||oohhh...shrimp maybe a day if your lucky...brocolli...same thing it loses it's flavor and begins to stink up your fridge on the second day and its all mushy like asparagus. blah!|||Unless you want to risk yourself of food borne illnesses, I would advise you not to eat it and discard it in the trash.
Personally,Take out will only sit in my fridge for 2 days.
I was wondering, can you freeze Chinese takeout? I got some for lunch, and I have an excessive amount of Buddha's Delight (The veggie dish) and white rice. I was wondering, could I freeze either of these to save for later meals? I know I won't eat it all by this week, and it'll go bad, and I'd rather not waste money. Thanks much. (:|||Yeah, I hate wasting money. Yeah, I'm pretty sure you can freeze the food. :)|||Hey, Buddha's Delight...great stuff! (My favorite). Yes, it's freezable. Don't go beyond a week, though. (Actually, the tofu will probably get firmer, which is a positive.)|||Yes, you can freeze anything provided it is wrapped properly|||No wai chinese takeout got awesome samurai ninja powars and is unfreezable!!|||I actually chocked on my snack when I read Bommel. That was hilarious and soooo unexpected. Clever....I gave him a thumb up!!
I don't know the answer though....|||Yeah you can.
It all depends on how old the microwave is. The older ones (older than 8 years) will probably do damage, but the newer ones will not. They have been updated to handle some metal parts without doing damage.|||No. Metal should not be put in the microwave.
Either remove the handles, or put the food on a plate.
Be sure to stir during the cooking time, or the food near the outside of the box will burn, and the food in the middle will still be cold.
Enjoy! :-))|||thats BIG heck no buddy
an waful burning smell will start to come out of your microwave and will probably linger for quite a while
and you might start a fire
and the paper in the cardboard tens to puul moisture form the food so you end up with 1 large peice of crud that soemwhat resembles a brick.
just put your left overs on a plate|||yes you shore can! thats only if you have a new micro wave!
also make shore you stirr the food! Have fun!!!!!!

I notice when you get eggrolls at the supermarket they always have cabbage in them and the ones that do have meat are basically ground beef with ginger and stuff.
What I want to know is how to make those ones you get at a chinese take out place where the filling isn't crumbly beef, it's like a soft meat paste with the consistinsy of mashed potato. Every recipe I've ever found online makes the supermarket kind with crumbly beef and cabbage. What on earth is that meat paste?|||After you have cooked the ground pork, put it in a food processor, with seasonings, and process it to a paste.

I went to the chinese take out that i sometimes go to and before I ordered i told the girl that last time there was some bony chicken in my general tso and asked if i could get white meat. she obliged and yelled my order back. I took the food back and ate about 60% of it, as it tasted a little heavy and was starting to make me feel tired. I thought nothing of it, but when I got home from work a few hours later I threw up about 15 times over 6 hour period (to say the least) and was sick subsequently for about 2 days. I know the food made me sick and I still have leftovers in the styrofoam container in my fridge. Is there any way I can get financial recourse for food poisening of the food is tested to be toxic? Thanks.|||Food poisoning has a 12 hour latency period, so you better make up a better story. You can test all you want, but unless you have preserved the leftovers properly, like a laboratory would, so as to add nothing and delete nothing, any test will be meaningless.|||You can sue if you can prove that the food was the cause of your illness. Its not as easy as it sounds. The fact that you have the leftovers helps. But even if you sue, you're looking at a couple hundred bucks, tops.
You might want to call your local health department and report it to them. They might test the food for you and save you the time and money. Then you can decide whether its worth pursuing or not.|||Proving that this food got you sick is going to be very difficult. If this food has been sitting in your fridge since you got sick, it is possible other toxins have developed in your food not related to anything the restaurant did. You will have a very tough time actually proving this, especially with take-out food. You must show that you actually had food poisoning (something in the food got you sick) and that the food you received made you sick as a result of something the restaurant did.|||You should report them to the health department, who will then inspect the place and their kitchen.
I don't think that temporary illness can get you a successful lawsuit ... and either way, it would be too costly to file a lawsuit and prove it (lawyers, experts, lab tests, etc.). You'd never be awarded enough to make up for what it would cost you to prosecute it.|||This is tough to prove, number one the food has been in you fridge for how long? We know at least three day which would make it toxic
Plus you have to prove you ate nothing before this at all.
What you can do is call the health department and tell them what happened to you and then get a copy of the health report if they fail and use this it has more power in the courts.
Also you did not state if you were seen by a Doctor or treated, if you were and have the diagnoise of food poisoning you will need copies of all the medical information.|||It will be tough. You're not injured. And proving causation is challenging. A letter to the BBB would be in order, though.|||Yes. It shows a) they are getting contaminated food or b) they aren't cooking the food properly. It is their duty to make sure the food is either clean, or well-prepared.|||You're not going to have grounds for a lawsuit. Firstly, you would have to prove they were either negligent in preparing your food, or that they intentionally gave you tainted food. Something that will be nearly impossible to prove. Secondly, as others have said, you are going to have to prove that you didn't eat anything or have an illness prior that could have caused that. Also, you say it is sitting in a styrofoam container in your fridge. If you sent it away to get it tested it will show bacteria grown after the fact. You won't win anything and will be wasting time and money.

Also, I'm 15, female, 5'1", and weigh about 113 lbs, and I'd say I'm.. moderately active, I suppose.
So far today I've eaten;
breakfast; 3 cups Life Cereal, 1% milk
and water with crystal light, and an apple ( I woke up pretty late, and haven't really been hungry )
Yesterday I had..
Breakfast; homemade blueberry muffin, banana, 1% milk
Lunch; salad, a carrot + Celery
Snack; Apple
Dinner; Spaghetti with homemade meat and vegetable sauce, 1% milk
I generally eat very healthy, and was orginally planning on just having a Peanut Butter and Banana sandwich tonight for dinner, but then my mom told me they were ordering Chinese Food, and I became unsure, and still am.
I love Chinese Food, and haven't had it in a few months, so I was wondering if it would be okay
( I also don't plan on having the breaded chicken if they order )|||Chinese food is perfectly fine to eat ocasionally. Everything is ok in moderation, just don't stuff yourself or eat it for the next 5 meals and having Chinese Food will be fine.|||Indulge and take a reward of food you haven鈥檛 had in awhile.|||Anything in moderation is ok, except heroin.|||I love it too! Its ok to indulge once and a while, but not all the time|||No more then 2 or 3 times a week ok.|||yes. just like a balanced life. everything in moderation|||What a stupid question to ask.
Why shouldn't it be "okay" to eat "occasionally"?
Whats wrong with it? Are you allergic? Is it poisonous?
Would you eat anything you buy in any other place? Why not Chinese?
And you sound ridiculously concerned about you diet, ugh "diet", what a cosmopolitan word... ugh "Cosmopolitan".
Why do you take a record of what you eat? It's mad (unless your doing to die otherwise).
This reminds me of that time when I saw that nonsense T.V. show "Zoey 101" and three girls were on the internet argueing about "How many calories are in a bagel" and it just pissed me off!
Ugh this question is so annoying!
YOURE SO ANNOYING- ugh!
I want to find some of the containers without just...getting take-out. I am a chef, and I am making some food for a party and I think it would be cute to serve it take-out containers. Where can i get them? Thanks in advance!|||Try looking up restaurant supply companies in the phone book or call your local Chinese restaurant and see if they'll sell you a "sleeve" of them. They can't be more than a few bucks for enough for your event. Cute idea.|||Try any or all of these: party stores, craft stores (such as Michael's,) and cake decorating (or baking) supply stores. Those should have a variety of decorations on them.

I'm trying to do some creative bridal shower favors. I am also on a tight budget! I found some really cute chinese take out boxes at the dollar store that I want to get. I'm struggling coming up with a saying or something for them. For example...doing cookie cutters and saying something "Whitney and Trever are Cut out for each other" or doing a mint tray with "Mint for each other". What is a phrase that would work for chinese boxes?!?!?!?! I only have 10 days until the bridal shower!! AAHH!!|||I think both ideas are cute! Here are some more:

or something like that. Usually you can get a rush order on them, and since they are for a bridal shower and not a wedding you won't need as many.|||How about in a fortune cookie style...long thin strip of paper. "Confucius say: Whitney, Trevor long life forever."
best wishes.............
www.adayremembered.com|||they also have colored plastic ones that you can buy..... they are pretty cheap and you could color coordinate them!|||I love those little chinese boxes lol. I think you should do the whole party china style, tea and fortune cookies, something cute to do to the cookies is buy white chocolate and melt is and add dye to the color your them is, dip the tips of the cookie in the chocolate then in some little white crystal sprinkles and let them set for about and hour, they are custom but cheap. a cute thing to do with the tea I saw was dip cherries or some other fruit in white chocolate and set it on the saucer, it adds some color and elegance. you can hang paper lanterns which my dollar store has, maybe yours does too. that way you tie the boxes in with your shower.
you can still do other foods but adding tea and fortune cookies and some little decorations would really tie it in. you could put chop sticks in the takeout boxes, with a saying "whitney and trever, sticking together, forever" or "whitney and trever are sticking together".
I don't know lol but I love your idea.
Folks, this is why it's always better to patronize an honest-to-goodness sit-down Chinese restaurant (that will have a bar, and of course a cash register by the gumball machine and goldfish tank, where you can pick up your take-out order which will almost invariably taste better than the mystery meat from the fast-food joint.)|||mmmmm, dog meat.....|||What a sad upsetting this to say.|||I live near one of those and I have cats, eeeek!|||i know its very common in china 2 eat dogs, cats, & monkeys.
Does anyone know of a chinese take out place that is organic or has no msg in fort lauderdale or coral springs?? Could you give me the number??And the name of the resturant?? Thanks!!|||Most chinese take out places now give you the option to have your meal without msg. I like Yeung's Mandarin House on 1747 N.Federal Highway in Ft.Lauderdale, phone# 954 561 1888. They offer no msg (you have to tell them when ordering though) and will also modify the spicyness of your food upon request. Organic chinese I've never heard of, as of yet anyway, so I'd be interested in other answers.

The true answer is not pretty, but it doesn't have to do with cats and dogs or lead paint.
It's not that the ingredients are low quality, it's that the labor is cheap.
People come over from Mainland China as indentured servants, incurring a debt of $30,000 to $50,000 to do so. They work off the debt by slaving in Chinese restaurants owned by the lenders, who also provide crude housing and other benefits but very little cash. By overpricing the benefits, they reduce what's left to pay off the loan, which means the indentured servitude has to go on longer. It may take someone five years or more of 80 hour work weeks to work off the debt. The end result is that the restaurant workers work for almost nothing. Also, the restaurants may file taxes, but the business is mostly cash, so they under-report their income.
Not all restaurant workers are in this bind, but enough of them are that it depresses wages for the rest of the workforce. Chinese workers who aren't in this bind might have this scenario as the order taker you talk to when you order takeout. $1700/month in cash, in exchange for working 11 hours/day, 6 days a week, which works out to about $5.95/hr. It's cash under the table, but it's hardly a princely salary. You get to eat while you are at the restaurant, and you live somewhere cheap since you're never home except to sleep.|||Because butchering the free, stray animals in the back alley really cuts down on their overhead.
MSG is free = My Special Goo.|||because stray cats are so plentiful|||just like mcdonalds is cheap...its because they are feeding you crap...Crap is cheap...real nutritional food is not cheap.|||I guess it depends where you are ordering from, and what you are ordering. Most Chinese take out restaurants still make a good profit even if there prices are low because they have the ability to add flavor to inexpensive ingredients and cheap cuts of meat (skirt or flank steak, dark chicken meat like thighs and legs, and salad shrimp).|||In my opinion Chinese takeout has never been cheap. Somehow, even if I'm only ordering for one it still comes out to at least $15, plus you should tip the driver. For $20 I can get a better meal somewhere else.
Not that Chinese food is bad, but for $20 I could have steak and shrimp.
Compared to most restaurants, Chinese food may seem cheap. But it's only because they cook in mass quantities and most of the dishes have the same ingredients; Stir fried rice, white rice, or noodles.
You could spend a fortune on Chinese food if you order the right dishes.|||because its the cheap version of chinese food , not very refined like the normal asian diet|||Loads of cheap,oily/fattening ingredients!Not to talk about the meat "quality"...|||Hmmm... it's not cheap over here.
It usually contains inferior quality meat and vegies, because the theory is that you can't tell once the strong flavoured sauces are added. Often vegies are bought that are not fit for shop sale (juicing carrots, defrosted vegies) and tough meat is tenderised with the aid of msg and other additives. Ever wondered why you get so terribly thirsty after eating chinese??

Hi,
I have a bit of a strange request from a foreign visitor to Vancouver. They would like to order Chinese take out and eat out of those white boxes with metal handles (like they show in the movies), but most restaurants here use foil or styrofoam containers. Does anyone know of a Chinese Restaurant that still uses those white take out boxes? |||Not Chinese... but Thai Express uses those little boxes. Thai Express is the thai take-out/foodcourt place they have in the malls. I'm originally from Vancouver but currently reside in Toronto so I'm not sure if they have it in Van right now...but USUALLY..What they have in TO, they will have in VAN!
From what I remember growing up in Vancouver, I never ate Chinese out of those little takeout boxes. They only use those boxes in places where Chinese food is rare (like small towns), so they try to make it as cute and authentic as possible (even though the food tastes like crap, probably). Other than that, go to those art stores or maybe the dollar store and buy those boxes haha. |||There is a new restaurant in Queensborough landing that serves Asian food out of the white boxes...called Wok Box. It is near the walmart in queensborough landing. Although it is not a traditional chinese restaurant it does serve their food out of those boxes. They put the rice or noodles on the bottom and then whatever you choose on top, so they are a one person meal per box...some curry dishes as well. Or you can go to a packaging company (like essential Packaging in Langley) and buy the boxes and put you take out in that...
That is the only place I have seen the boxes. Good luck.|||Go to your mall, there is usually a chinese place in there. Should be china gormet or something. Ask them for a "sides" box. They should have plenty.

Directly translated, "chop suey" means "odds and ends", so it can be any hodgepodge of vegetables and leftovers that the cook feels like throwing together or needs to use up.
The dish served up as Chop Suey outside China has no equivalent in Chinese cuisine. Like fortune cookies and Crab Rangoon, this was concocted expressly for non-Chinese customers' preferences. Whatever they call Chop Suey in a restaurant is nicer than "odds and ends", of course, but it has no traditional recipe, so it's sort of anything goes as far as what ingredients and sauces are in it. Count on there being a lot of vegetables and some mixture of beef, chicken, and shrimp.|||It's a bunch of cut up vegetables and bamboo shoots in a sauce. Interesting note: it's not really Chinese food. When Chinese workers were brought over here to build the railroads in the 1800s they were treated very badly.

It is typically served with rice but can become the Chinese-American form of chow mein with the addition of deep-fried noodles.
Chop suey is part of American Chinese cuisine, Canadian Chinese cuisine, and, more recently, Indian Chinese cuisine. Filipinos also have their own version of chop suey. The typical Filipino-Chinese variation includes ear fungus (also known as tenga ng daga in Tagalog; lit. ear of the rat), carrots and chayote along with the cabbage.

All these chinese food restaurants have different names, and different ownerships, but have identical features (large menus placed on an oversized sheet of paper, exact dimensions --maybe 11" by 18" i'm guessing) and they all offer a dish called a "happy family" which has lobster, crab, chicken, and pork.
Can anyone confirm to me, that they are indeed linked by the same type of supplier and same business plan? Its almost like they are all a multi-thousand unit franchise but with different store-names to prevent association with one another, when annual health reports come out (fast food chinese restaurants are always tops of the X-list put out by the food inspectors).|||How many Chinese restaurants have you eaten at? And where are you located?
The large menus sound like place mats. It could be that there is a printer in your area that specializes in printing place mat menus for Chinese restaurants.
Are you sure that all the restaurants offer Happy Family with lobster and crab? I'd like to try that! I've never seen that combination before though I've ordered Happy Family many times at many different restaurants.
So far as supplier, once again, depending on where you are, there may be a limited number of suppliers for Chinese restaurants. Business plan wise, make as much money as they possibly can!
No, there is no conspiracy out there to hide poor food inspection reports by using different restaurant names. While there are probably some restaurant groups that operated under different names, they usually do so because of differences in styles of food or pricing structure. It would be poor business to use several different names if the restaurants all served exactly the same things for the same prices. If you went to location A and enjoyed a meal, you might go to location B expecting the same quality. If the company used different names, you might not go to one of their restaurants when you were hungry.|||no......that's ignorant....|||If you were to go and eat at different Chinese restaurants you will know the answer to your question....no, they are not all the same. Different restaurants may offer the same food choices on their menu, but the taste of the food is quite different from one to the next.|||I'm not sure what it's like in the US (but I have been to a few chinese restaurants there and found that even though they have similar menu items/names, the dish you get is different depending on the restaurant's chef and recipes), but here in the UK no 2 restaurants are the same...
Sure, the menus are very similar and the dishes are identically described and named in many of them, but just like the US restaurants I've been in, the dish you get is different in each restaurant.
I think it's all down to the demand of the customer (they expect a range of dishes that they know and request), and also down to the family recipes used by the chefs at the restaurants...
As for suppliers, You're almost right... There is generally a common supplier to many chinese restaurants... Over here in the UK, there are a number of "Chinese supermarkets" (one chain is called "Wing Yip") and the ingredients required for chinese food can only really be found there... I suppose it must be the same in the US...|||as far as taste goes, they're not the same.
Hi there,
Have you thought about May Palace Restaurant at 2109 N Frontage Rd W ? They are supposed to have some great Chinese cuisine! Call them at (970) 476-1657 and place your order.

Best is probably in St. Paul - Grand Shanghai on Grand Avenue. For really authentic food check out Shuang Cheng in Dinkytown. In the 'burbs I like New Beijing on Prairie Center Drive in Eden Prairie.|||You probably know about LeAnne Chin's (unless you moved to Mpls just recently). If you live in the East Metro, check out Shangri-La or Mai Village (not 100% if Mai Village does take out, but I think they do).
I want to try it but I've heard it's spicy. What do you think of it?
What is better, chicken with peanuts or chicken in garlic sauce?|||You're talking about Kung Pao Chicken, which contains a slightly sweet and spicy sauce made with dried red chilis, and of course peanuts.
How spicy is it depends on the restaurant. I pick out the chili pieces and it's usually OK - not too sweet or too spicy.
Note that if you're eating at a Szechuan restaurant, everything is going to be quite spicy, so you may not want to order the Kung Pao there. Or if you do, emphasize to the waitress "don't make it spicy!" when you order it.|||I've had Chicken with Peanuts and it's good, but even better with Cashews. It may or may not be spicy depending on the chef and restaurant.
Chinese chefs are masters at tailoring food to their guest's palate. If you want it to be medium or mild, they'll take your request. And if you like cashews, they can add or sub them on your entree.|||Peanuts are not spicy. A dish can have them and be spicy, or not spicy at all, depending on how much spice is used:D
The one that you prefer is the better one.|||Kung Pao Chicken is its common name.|||im 12 and i dont think its spicy i enjoy it so i would encourage you to try it
is vegetable soup from the chinese place healthy?
what it pretty much is, is lots of veggies(i only eat the broccoli and carrots though) and the soup. which is yellow and taste like wong ton or whatever
IS IT HEALTHY?
what are the nutritional facts|||There are lots of sites that will give you nutritional facts of the ingredients. The main health issues with Chinese soups are going to be the amount of sodium and fat.
How much of each is going to depend on how they make the soup.
The Fire Bowl uses the trademark take-out boxes as well as Tien Hong. Beijing Wok also uses the boxes but only for their rice and noodles, not for the main entrees.
Good luck and happy eating!|||yes its called takashimo..............n its in austin|||no, I live in California - but if your only interested in the boxes

I was planning on going out for dinner tonight at a Chinese/Polynesian/Szechuan restaurant with my family, and I was wondering what they might have that's vegan? No meat, fish, egg, or dairy. I heard that a lot of places use oyster sauce and egg in most of their dishes. :( Any help?|||im not a troll nor a anti-vegetarian/vegan because im not. im actually vegetarian.
basically truth be told theres not much vegans can or do eat except nuts,pulses and vegetables.
so i doubt you will find something at a chinese restaurant as egg is in pratically everything. you cant even have a curry or something with rice because its usually egg fried rice so basically i dont think you can have anything which is another place to add to your list of where you cant get something to eat!|||Some chinese places have a separate vegan/vegetarian menu or section on the menu others at least have a vegetable section and you can and should ask if they have any animal ingredients and don't forget about MSG unless they state on their menu they don't use it. Don't be afraid to ask and be clear about what you mean.
Chow Fun can usually be made with vegetables and is most often made with rice noodles. It is stirfried in oil with soy sauce. You should double check that it is vegan but usually vegetable chow fun is.
Avoid the "fortune cookies" they tend to have some sort of animal-by-product in them (not always but usually something)|||Usually just to be safe I get brown rice with steamed veggies and soy sauce.
I'm too lazy to check what's in the sauces and what they cook them in :p
You could probably check the ingredients in spring rolls... I always homemake them, I'm not sure about the wrappers restaurants use.
Just because something's not on the meny doesn't mean you can't order it, either. If they have chicken rice, then they can obviously make rice... just ask for it without the chicken.|||Off the top of my head here:
Fried Rice noodles
Boiled or steamed rice
Stir fried veggies
Veggie curry, just ask what's in the sauce
In fact, just browse their veg dishes, see what takes your fancy and ask a staff memeber about sauce ingredients and what sort of oil it is cooked in|||hey
some oyster sauce is vegan
most black bean sauce is vegan
if they dont really speak english
maybe just get steamed broccoli in black bean sauce no eggs n steamed white rice n soysauce
thats all gluck
ps
or just go sushi instead n get like 2 rolls shiitake mushroom sushi n a diet coke
is this a healthy option for trying to lose weight|||Melimel, your order is definitely lower in calories than the average Chinese take out meal. You could certainly do worse, but unless you specify steamed, the chicken and string beans are stir fried in oil at a minimum and who knows what all is going on with the sauce. I would leave any sauce off altogether or ask that it be placed in a separate container on the side.
(Note: Even the steamed veggies have corn starch in the water. That's why they are always so crisp.)|||Probably not as you haven't said whet else is going with the chicken and beans.|||no

- moo goo gai pan
- chow mein (chicken or beef?)
- cashew nut chicken
thanks y'all!|||If you usually order general tso or sweet sour chicken it means you like deep fried battered chicken coated with sugary syrup. The difference with these 2 and moo goo gai pan or cashew chicken is something like choosing between fried chicken nugget loaded with ketchup and chicken salad with vinaigrette. Moo goo means mushroom and cashew chicken comes with some mixed vegetables and both of these are stir fried only without a lot of grease and no sugar, chow mein with meat is also stir fried with vegetable oil and not sugary. All your 3 suggestions are healthier choices, and are as good as anything else, a lot of people order them everyday.|||Based on your usual choices, you should be fine with any of those.|||Chow Mein is just a different version of fried rice but no rice.

2. Tomato beef chowmein and specify panfried noodles.
Actually the dish you select will be good depending on the cook in the restaurant you choose. I'm picky and only a few restaurants can produce the dishes exactly as I like it. I've eaten some very horrible tomato beef chow mein over the years. That's a dish I've ordered from just about every chinese restaurant I've visited over the years in various towns in California.|||Chicken chow fun. It may not be on the menu but most chinese restaurants will have it. It's a wide flat rice noodle based dish. Sort of a chinese version of pad thai.|||1) rice & noodles - stir fry wheat noodles/ flat rice noodles/ rice stick/ glass noodles, with anything.
2) go crazy with some appetizer - gyozas/ dumplings of some sorts.
3) go beyond the "chinese" take out -
shanghainese : good for their Lion head's meatballs (literrally speaking, there's not lion head's in there, just a name), stir fry rice cakes, deep fried fish fillets wrapped with seaweeds, etc.
szechuans : all the spicy foods, heavy use of "szechuan peppercorn" . Famous for their deep fried chili chicken dice (ie. popcorn chicken, very flavorful), double-boiled fish fillet with onions & garlic, etc.
beijing - skewered cumin lamb BBQ, onion waffles wrapped with roast duck meats, etc.
hey, there's so many varieties of "chinese" food today, perhaps discover & diversify one at a time would be a great challange to the taste buds, cheers ! :)
Tonight, I am a little pressed for time and want to eat something healthy. I am going to get Chinese take-out. Would steamed chicken and broccoli be a healthier choice?|||It would be a better choice than any fried stuff. I would recommend eating brown rice instead of white because it's packed with much more minerals. Try a mixed veggie plate, and have it with a water. Skip the fortune cookie as it just adds sugar and isn't filling.
Most places will have meals that have a lot of tofu instead of animal products. Plain rice in stead of pork fried rice and Tofu/ vegetable stir fry are good options.|||If you see anything on the menu that says "Buddha ---" that will most likely be vegetarian, ask to take certain things out for it to be vegan (probably egg). Your best bet is to get steamed veggies and rice, though be careful because I once ordered it and they gave me chicken also :(|||Most chinese restaurants have vegetarian dishes, made with only vegetables and/or tofu. The problem is that if you are really strict, they may be stir fried in a wok that is only rinsed out between preparations and may have been used to cook meat prior to your order. Try to stick with steamed dishes if that is your problem.|||Most Chinese restaurants do offer some type of vegetarian dish. You can get vegetable fried rice, steamed bean curd dish, or whatever else that's on their menu. Sometimes they do put egg fried rice, so ask without egg if you order fried rice.|||Anything on the menu can be made with tofu, or veggie chicken if they have it.
Make sure to ask that it is cooked in a water base, because some use chicken or fish base.
I love kung pao veggie chicken its awesome.|||Stir-fried tofu with vegetables. Stir-fried broccoli with garlic. Stir-fried green jade delight. Stir-fried string beans. Moo-shu vegetables with pancakes.|||Probably nothing, except for the white rice. Panda Express in our area has a sign that says "we do not have any vegetarian items".|||General Tso's Bean curd!!! Bean curd stir-fry, vegetable fried rice|||Egg drop soup if your one of the vegetarians who eat eggs, fourtone cookies, white rice.
So the problem is, I don't really like Chinese food that's very authentic. Panda Express's orange chicken is really what I'm going for here. I ordered Orange Chicken at Ho Luck and that was not what I was looking for...it had real oranges and stuff. I think I also like Sesame Chicken if its shaped like that at Panda Express. I'm new to the area...help!|||The Chinese Garden is the best on Plum Grove Road and Schaumburg Road . . .excellent!|||I haven't been to Schaumburg in a while, but there used to be this place in the strip mall at Schaumburg and Plum Groove I think.

Based on the curries I have had - Thai, Japanese, "Indian" - I would expect a curry from a Jamaican restaurant to taste much different than one from a Chinese restaurant.
Japanese curry, for instance, is a lot milder and sweeter than other curries, primarily because they use apples in addition to onions, which are then cooked into a paste before the normal spices are added, etc. etc. etc.
Furthermore, Jamaican cooking doesn't use coconut milk so I wouldn't expect their take on curry to include that. It probably would also use more of the spices that are common in Jamaican cooking, as opposed to the melange of Indian spices that make up "Curry".

I don't know how many you have or how easy they would be to stamp, but you could try stamping them with something like the Chinese character for double happiness.

You could also attach a nice ribbon in a bow on the outside that is the color of the tissue paper inside. If you use candy molds make sure the candy is individually wrapped b/c it could cause spots on the boxes. Lastly you could also thank the guests on a little note inside that would thank them for sharing a special day with the bride.

You can fill the boxes with peppermints,gum,kisses,little packs of life savers and little almond candy.Please post a picture so we can all enjoy how pretty there are going to turn out !|||One of the others suggested using Chinese characters. It's a great idea. Just go to one of those stamps places if you have one in your town. There is one in the market where I live. They can make any stamp, as long as you show them what you want.
For what to write...
Just think about what you would like to say on the outside and then ask a Chinese person to translate it for you. After you have the stamps made, you can buy any color ink at a stationary store, including different glitter colors. Oh, and ask the stationary store if you can't find out where to have the stamp made. They might know where you can have them made.
Another idea might be to hire a Chinese student to use paint and write on the boxes, like traditional Chinese calligraphy.|||What a cute idea! I of course would throw in some Botan Rice Candy, my fav. You can get it somewhere like Trader Joes or Cost Plus WorldMarket. Not too sweet and you can eat the wrapper. Those chocolate dipped fortune cookies are yummy and fun, even more fun if you could personalize the fortune! Have a great time and congrats!
i absolutely LOVE Chinese Take-Out. I have it at least once a month. But lately ive been looking at a bunch of diet plans in order to lose some weight. My only problem now is to cut down on my favorite fattening foods. Does my delicious monthly Chinese Take-Out dish have to go bye-bye? D=|||I wish I could eat Chinese food as often. I'ts not as fattening as say
McDonald's, Domino's Popeye's or any other fast food place is. At least Chinese restaurants have a wide variety of vegetables. As long as you order your meal instead of fixing a go-plate off the bar it's better that way. Freshly cooked much better than food that' s been sitting in the same oil & what not for how ever long. If your worried, eat more of the vegetables & steamed or stir fried meat & less of the rice, noodles, & fried foods.|||Chinese food tends to be very fattening. If you get takeout, try to get it in a tray. When you move the food around there is a lot of oil and fat from the meats and what it was cooked in. That's why it tastes so good. If you're trying to diet a bit, I suggest eating some of the less fatty foods. Try the Beef and Broccoli combo with white rice. It's pretty healthy and very little fat is involved. Try to avoid fried rice and some of their noodles. Best of luck to you. OR better, go to a Chinese restaurant. An authentic one and ask to have it to go. Usually actual restaurants use a bit less fat and oil.|||First off...what you're eating is highly Americanized Chinese food. The gloppy, corn-starch-laden sauces are a dietary disaster. Go to China, and you won't recognise what you're eating there from what you get at home.
Second...there are numerous regions of China; each one has very different cuisine. Same with most of Asia...each part of the country in question will have regional variations.
As to what to eat...stay away from the gloppy sauces that have a ton of corn starch. Alternatively, look at Vietnamese...a simple bowl of pho noodles is an approachable and reasonable version of what Vietnamese eat (look for places where Vietnamese go to eat...a great jumping off spot).
Hint: if you're in a restaurant serving Asian cuisine and the only people eating are caucasian, that's usually a pretty bad sign.|||Take-away Chinese food can be very healthy. Many menus are marked with "healthy options" or they can steam your dish instead of stir fry it. Avoid dishes that are deep-fried (like General Tso's chicken, Spicy Hot Beef, Sweet and Sour dishes where the pork or chicken is deep fried, shrimp toast etc) Opt for protein and veg dishes with simple sauces and you should be fairly safe.|||Not really. I mean if your ordering things like fried chicken on a stick or fried pork on a stick, or anything with a thick sauce then yes, because most of the sauces are high in calorie. And low on good things.
I love their brocolli and beef. And I ask them to make it fresh for me with less sauce. Rice is excellent. Especially the brown that they generally use for fried.|||it really depends on what you get. If you want to make sure you are getting something that is ok look up the nutrition facts. also instead of white rice, get brown rice.|||Almost everything is deep fried, I'd say once a month would be alright,|||Chinese is VERY fattening. It is full of sugar!!|||Once a MONTH, your good. Eat up!|||Come on......are you serious???? Once a month splurge baby splurge.|||Yes.
Produce is considerably cheaper than meat. They use very little meat in their food and they buy bulk. They use cheap fillers, like an extra bowl of steamed rice.|||yer right you don't wanna know.
I'll give you a hint. Ever notice there aren't ANY stray dogs (or cats) around Chinese restaurants?
Need I say more?|||They buy the cheapest ingredients in bulk of course. Also, I always had the feeling they recycled leftovers!|||Because you don't really know what you're eating...need I say more?|||my guess is because they don't have to pay for all of the advertising/Celebrity endorsements,etc.,like McDonald's, Burger King,etc.Just like how non-designer clothes and shoes can sell for much less than big name-brand items of the same quality. You pay for the label,pretty much.|||It's not that there's dog or anything...they just have low labor costs, and cheap ingredients.|||They use alot of rice. Rice doesn't cost that much and the meat that are in the dishes aren't alot of meat.|||Cheap labour?|||they probaly use cheaper meats|||maybe they do not mark up there food like other places do. you would be surprised how much things really cost.|||well the main reason is about 50% of any meal is rice. when I was running a kitchen a few years back I had to luagh one day when a 3 pound bag of rice I bought at the store was 5 cents more then the 25 pound bag I had ordered earlier that day at work. If I remeber right rice cost us 2 cents a pound cooked.
The other reasons are they normaly use cheap cuts of meats and lots of veggies. even when you order something seafood it the cheaper e seafood they are using. Most shrimp they use for example is what is sometime called bait shrimp (because of it size).|||In many of the Chinese restaurants that I have been to, it's a family owned business where the whole family works, so they're saving on labor costs.
They don't usually have big elaborate sit down restaurants, so that reduces overhead.
Ingredients bought in bulk are usually not that expensive.
the daily wok , but my pref. is wok on fire ,they do great tempura ssssslurrrp.|||I used to live in an area that had Chuong Gardens. Excellent crab rangoons. Now, in a different area we always order from Joy Luck Club. They make a killer lo mein.|||There's two in my area

As the title implies, I want to know how to make brown rice taste like chinese take out fried rice. Any suggestions or recipes?|||Rice doesn't have a lot of flavor in and of itself. Chinese fried rice is both fried in oil, which gives it flavor, and it is flavored with lots of veggies, onions, garlic, soy sauce, hoisin, etc. Just find yourself a fried rice recipe that looks good and substitute brown rice for white and you'll have brown rice that tastes like Chinese fried rice.

I live in the south central area of Austin, does anyone know of a Chinese restaurant in the area that serves take-out food in the traditional cardboard boxes?

I found that scene quite odd seeing how that vampire's main staple is "blood." In this scene Michael meets Kiefer and the gang. Kiefer invites Michael to some rice.
Michael is about to take a bite when Kiefer says "Maggots, Michael. You're eating maggots. How do they taste?" Actually it was Kiefer who created an illusion of the rice looking like maggots. Any who, I thought that particular scene was somewhat funny.

jen|||Yeah, guess it is weird that you see vampires eating regular "people" food. I remember watching an episode of "Angel" where they explain that, although vampires crave blood for sustenance, they are certainly capable of ingesting regular food, although it holds no nutritional value for them.
Lost Boys, by the way, is a really cool movie!|||the point of the scene i think was to trick michael into drinking the blood so that he would become a vampire

According to the Calorie King website, 1 serving (5.5 oz) of beef and broccoli is estimated at 150 calories. and white rice (6.6 oz) is 242 calories. Surprisingly, the rice has more calories. But if you're like me, you probably had more than 5.5 oz of the broccoli and beef. :)

i have 100 1/2 pint chinese take out containers and im wanting to fill them with jelly beans...but im needing to know how many pounds of jelly beans i will need?|||The only way you can tell this is to fill one takeout box with jelly beans and then calculate from there. Below is a candy calculator that has popular items like jelly bellies, but first you have to mock up your favor before you can use it.
But. Those takeout boxes are huge containers if you're giving out candy. The tiny 2 x 2 favor boxes most people use actually hold quite a bit of candy, so your boxes are enormous. If you're really going this route, I would fill the bottom with a lot of shred and tie the jelly beans in a bag to sit on top ... either buy a lot of organza bags inexpensively or wrap them in tulle (super cheap by the yard) and tie off with ribbon or cord.|||63489 jelly beans. tell me if i win!!! what do i win i if i get it right??|||Get a package of jelly beans put 1 of the containers on a postal scale set it to zero, fill to desired capacity and see how much it weighs, multiply that weight by 100 and that should give you how many pounds you need. Hope those jelly beans are Jelly Belly. yummmmmmmmmmm|||tacky?!|||Shitzul's suggestion will work. You should also do that just to be sure the jelly beans aren't too heavy. Chinese take-out boxes aren't all that sturdy, and jelly beans are pretty heavy. You don't want the boxes breaking and the beans spilling out all over everywhere.|||The other person's suggestion will work, but that sounds like it will end up being a lot of jelly beans and the person is right who said the containers are not all that sturdy. I would suggest filling the clear (or printed) Cello bags with the jelly beans, tie with a ribbon and then put the bags in the boxes. The bags will not cost you much more (You can find packages of 25 at any Dollar Tree), and you may need less jelly beans. And, as a guest, I think I would like the idea of having the jelly beans contained a little better that just in a box, that could open on me.
Want to order delivery, umm, garlic is good too.|||nope, no spicy chinese delivery, and they are out of garlic|||Most Chinese take outs list which food are hot and spicy on the menu.

Honey Teriyaki Chicken with Ripe Pineapple Spears and Black and White Rice Balls
2 cups water
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon salt, eyeball it
1 rounded cup white rice
2 tablespoons black sesame seeds, toasted white sesame seeds may be substituted
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
Vegetable oil, for drizzling
Salt and pepper
1 cup chicken broth or water
1-inch ginger root, peeled and chopped
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
4 scallions, thinly sliced
1 ripe pineapple
Preheat a grill pan or large griddle over medium high heat.
Bring water to a boil in a small covered pot. Add butter, salt and rice to the pot. Return the water to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and replace cover. Simmer 18 minutes and remove rice from heat. Take the lid off the pot to cool rice a bit. Scoop rice into balls with an ice cream scoop and your hands. Dampen hands with water to work with rice if it is very sticky. Set rice balls on a plate and sprinkle with black sesame seeds.
While your rice is cooking, lightly coat chicken with oil, salt and pepper. Place chicken on hot grill and cook 6 minutes on the first side.
While chicken is cooking, bring chicken broth and ginger to a boil. Stir in honey. When honey has dissolved into broth, add teriyaki sauce and sesame oil and reduce heat to simmer.
Turn chicken and coat liberally with honey teriyaki sauce using a basting brush. Cook chicken 4 minutes, turn again and baste liberally again with sauce, then cook 2 minutes longer. Remove chicken to a plate. Garnish chicken with sliced scallions.
While chicken cooks on the second side, peel and cut a ripe pineapple into 8 spears. Cut off top and bottom of pineapple. Set pineapple upright and trim away skin in strips from top to bottom. Halve pineapple lengthwise and quarter each 1/2, lengthwise. The core is edible, but may be trimmed if you wish. Pineapple can be very acidic. Spears set in cold water for just 1 minute will keep the fruit from stinging your lips when it is eaten. Serve with chicken and rice balls

Asian-Style Pork and Vegetable Noodles
Look for many of these ingredients on the Asian food aisle of your supermarket.

2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil, from Asian foods aisle, a serious drizzle
2 boneless center-cut pork loin chop, 8 ounces each
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, 2 turns of the pan
1/2 to 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Salt and black pepper
1 carrot, cut into matchsticks
1 package (16 ounces) fresh linguini
12 to 16 shiitake mushrooms, thinly sliced
3 inches fresh ginger root, finely chopped or grated

Add mushrooms, ginger, red bell pepper, scallions and bean sprouts. Toss and stir-fry veggies with pork for 2 minutes. Cook pasta to al dente. Drain and add to the pork and veggies.

2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 large carrots, diced
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 large red bell pepper, diced
3/4 cup fresh pea pods, halved
1/2 large green bell pepper, diced
6 cups cooked white rice

Stir in carrots, celery, red bell pepper, pea pods and green bell pepper and stir-fry another 5 minutes. Then add rice and stir thoroughly.
Finally, stir in scrambled eggs and 1/3 cup soy sauce, heat through and serve hot.|||Chicken Fried Rice
INGREDIENTS:
3 cups cooked rice (preferably several days old)
1 cup cooked chicken or turkey, cut into bite-size pieces, OR 1 cup raw chicken
4 Tbsp. chicken stock
2 cloves garlic, finely sliced or pressed
1/2 minced green or red chili for medium-spiced rice, OR 1-2 whole minced chilies for "hot" (omit chilli for mild)
2 Tbsp. fish sauce
3 Tbsp. peanut oil, or other good quality nut/vegetable oil
1/2 cup frozen peas
1 egg
3 spring onions, finely sliced
1/2 cup fresh coriander or basil
PREPARATION:
1. Prepare the cold rice by mixing in 1 Tbsp. of the oil. Stir well, separating the rice grains with your fingers to remove clumps.
2. Place remaining oil in a deep frying pan or wok. Add garlic and chili.
Stir-fry over medium-high heat until fragrant (30 seconds to 1 minute).
3. Add chicken (or turkey) and 2 Tbsp. stock. Stir-fry enough to thoroughly warm the meat, if cooked. If the chicken is raw, stir fry until cooked (2-5 minutes). Add more stock, as necessary, to prevent the pan from becoming overly dry.
5. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, push ingredients aside and crack egg into the wok/pan. Stir quickly to cook and break up the egg (like making scrambled eggs).
7. When egg is cooked and most of the broth/liquid has been absorbed, add the rice plus fish sauce. Stir fry, keeping the heat medium-high. Do not add any more broth/liquid at this point, or your rice will become soggy.
8. Add frozen peas and continue to stir-fry another 1-2 minutes, or until you can hear the rice "popping". Cooking Tip: It's important to keep the wok and rice dry, but if you find the rice is sticking, you can add a little more oil - this will make the rice "shine", like restaurant quality fried rice.
9. Do a taste-test for saltiness. If not salty enough, add a sprinkling of salt. (If it happens to be too salty for your taste, add up to 1 Tbsp. lime juice.)
10. Sprinkle with spring onion, plus coriander or basil, and serve hot from the wok/pan. Enjoy!|||here's a vid on how to make it. the video uses ham and egg, but you can substitute the ham for chicken, and skip the egg. video from a chinese restaurant, and professional cook.

they are more elegant than a big pint box|||A candy buffet is a cute idea. :) If I were you, I would use the 1/2 pint size...after all that is an entire CUP of candy! No one needs more than that.
Congrats on your impending marriage!|||1/2 pint.
They're larger than they look once you start putting things in them.
if you eat the whole container, regular sized one.
how many calories are in it?|||This depends very much on the restaurant and what ingredients they use, and the exact amount of food in a "regular-sized container," how much chicken vs. how many vegetables were in it, et cetera. Contact the restaurant for nutrition information. Alternately, you can guesstimate with an online calorie counter if you can figure out roughly how much of each ingredient you ate (and assume they're not adding a calorie-heavy sauce).
okay my mom and I are having an argument. I ordered chinese food a total of $17 to be delivered to my home. The weather is fine and the delivery is free.
So, I wanted to tip the guy $3 ... thats about 15%
she is saying give one or two dollars.
what do you think?|||Whoever is paying the bill gets to decide on the tip, so if you want to pony up the money tip what you want, until then,listen to mommy.|||A couple of bucks would have been find. I'm assuming tips are calculated into his salary already so anything extra is all gravy. If you were tipping with your money then give whatever you like, but if it was with moms money then one or two dollars.|||You can tip as much as you want to, but since the delivery itself is free, I think you're right and 15% is appropriate.

Are Contempory Asian Restaurants consider the SAME as Chinese Take-out, or a Korean, Indian, Japanese Restaurant. The Asian Restaurant Menu consist a little taste of many popular region in Asia. But nothing else insists the Asian Restaurant to be execlusively Chinese, or Japanese.......|||To me the term Contemporary Asian Restaurant implies something different from the typical family run restaurant or a take-out restaurant.
The contemporary restaurant uses Asian flavors and dishes, but employ fancy plating techniques and "new" cooking techniques which also implies higher prices.
PF Chang's would be a contemporary Asian resaurant.
Another example is Susur.|||No! Definitely NO!!!
I believe it's just a name coined to suggest that they have dishes from all over Asia, be it Chinese, Indian, Korean, Japanese, Javanese...etc,
or dishes that seems to resemble or taste like Asian dishes but not authentically any of the Asian cuisines.
Whatever it is, I guess it does not matter as long as u like the taste and suit your palate.
This is innovation!|||Hi.
I was born and am living in Japan, and I can go Chinese, Korean, Japanese restaurants anytime today.

The only thing you should never do is reheat from the microwave in the plastic container, because not all plastic containers are microwave safe and once heated it produce a chemical effect and will poison the food. So it is better to use a plate instead (microwave safe or ceramic) if you need to reheat your food.|||In the box <G>|||ITS JUST NOT OK TO EAT IT ON A PLATE thats just wrong lol

What do you like most about this type of food? Where do you go to get it?
Italian, Chinese and Mex get awful ratings. Anything else gets a great rating.|||For me, I like the home cooked taste of these foods. They are layered with flavor and taste like they are cooked with love. They remind me of my childhood. We ate every ethnic food growing up, or should I say tried every ethnic food. I was very fussy as a child, now I'm just fussy. I cook these and all types of food though, whether I eat them or not, I have been doing so ever since I could remember. It's a gift I have, I can cook with my nose and usually never have to eat the food if I don't like it. As far as the soul food, I love grits. I eat them for breakfast but not too often because I learned to eat them with butter, cheese, eggs, and pork sausage and bacon, kinda high on calories. Mac and cheese also is top on the soul food list for me right next to collard greens. Cape Verdean dishes I love are, Kachupa, a stew with sausages, meats, root veggies, beans, greens and samp is a meal in a pot that cooks all day and Jag is a rice that is seasoned and cooked with beans in it. I for the most part can choose any cuisine and find one thing I like or can alter to suit me, that's why I'm a chef. Fussy chef, but chef non the less.|||jamaican.

A lady at my church makes it when we have church dinners and it's always one of the first dishes to go.|||I really enjoy the variety of different foods. I love Lumpia from from Phillipino cooking, Dolmas from the Greeks, Pierogi's from the Polish, Pasta Puttanesca from the Italians. I like them all, no favorites.|||Thai Indian and Greek...they r just awesome:)|||Japanese. It's healthy and very light. My favorite is sushi. I go to Noshi Sushi in Los Angeles, California.|||West Indian (Jamaican) food is very flavoursome and whatever you're into (chicken, pork, lamb, fish,etc) you can always find a recipe you like. Thai food is always tasty but like any food you have to try different places to get a good selection.|||i love Lebanese food....delish!|||Indian or Spanish.|||In considering Thai, Indian, Ethiopian, I'd have to go with Indian.
There are several good Thai places around here, but generally, a lot of the meat and veggies are shredded, and I prefer the texture of biting into chunks of food. My wife and I love Ethiopian, from the time we spent living in Chicago, but there aren't any restaurants around here. We've bought our own Ethiopian cookbook, but it's just not the same.
Indian, though, is plentiful around here. I love the variety - depending on the region, the food can be quite different. My favorite dish is probably Chicken Tikka Masala, with Mushroom Korma and Chicken Biryani tied for 2nd place.
I love bread, and the Indian Naan is a wonderful compliment to the meal, as you are expected to forego utensils for most of them and instead scoop up your food with pieces of naan. Naan is made by cooking it on the walls of the clay "tandoor" ovens, and is something that's so hard to replicate in other ways. When we cook our own indian food, we'll get orders of naan as takeout.
There's a decent-sized (and growing) Indian population around here, and we have a couple of Indian restaurants near by where we can get it. In our last house, we lived next door to an Indian family, and 3 doors down was the owner of one of the restaurants.|||my favorite is korean food. i grew up eating korean food, and still like to go out for korean bbq. other types of food i tend to only like certain items, but i really like korean food.
it's also easier to tell if it is spicy or not... the more red it is, the better likelyhood that it is spicy...
there are a few pretty decent korean restaurants within 20 minutes of where i live, but los angeles probably has the most authentic korean food without actually going to korea....|||There's a great Mediteranean/MiddleEastern place in my city. I'm there at least once a month. My favorite dish is the Iskender Kabob. It's shaved beef & lamb off of a slowly spinning rack, piled on top of a fluffy stone-oven cooked bread, and drizzled with a spicy thin tomato-based sauce as well as a yogurt sauce. Service with pickled cabage and marinated onion slices. That description doesn't do it justice - here's a picture of it: http://www.alibabarestaurants.com/kabobs…
I'm also a big fan of their chicken shish, meat pide, and of course, the amazingly good lavash bread. It's an unleavened bread that is cooked in the aforementioned stone oven, that rises into a great big bread bubble as it cooks. When it arrives on the table, we gently "pop" it to release the hot steam, and immediately start salivating at the smell. This is served with the yogurt sauce for dipping.
.... I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. Yum yum yum....
http://www.alibabarestaurants.com|||Variety.. The food has such a wide variety of flavors and textures. It is amazing simple an elegant with a focus on functionality. It tastes amazing and continues to evolve.
Where do I go to get it...?
Well.. I live in the Plano TX area... I really like Nakamoto... (it's the old standby) There's a new place up the street called Tomo.. which is good.. but overpriced...
then .. and I don't even know this place's name.. but it is @ 75 and Eldorado in Mckinney.. it's a Japanese buffet and is phenomenal... amazing...

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.

You can improve on the healthiness of most chinese dishes simply by getting the sauce on the side.
Also, get steamed rice instead of fried rice. Even if it's not on the menu, ask for it. They have to steam the rice before they fry it.

* 1/2 c. water
* 0.5 - 1 Tbl. grated ginger
* 1 tsp. chopped garlic (1 clove)
* 1 Tbl. cornstarch
* 1 Tbl. molasses

1) Cook any meat first. Remove it from the pan.
2) Stir-fry your veggies.
3) Mix up all the sauce ingredients in a measuring cup.
4) Add a few pieces of hot veggies to the measuring cup to pre-heat the cornstarch.
5) Dump all the sauce into the pan with the veggies (and add the meat back, if using) and bring to a boil.
6) Simmer for a minute or two until the sauce is clear and thickened.

EDIT
The CNN study above is what is called a health scare tactic or nutritional fundamentalism. Of the 48000 people they studied, they noticed that the heaviest eaters of carbs where more prone to disease. Well yes, the heaviest carb eaters where most likely obese and therefore at greater risk for heart disease.
Carbs, including white rice and bleached flour are completely healthy when eaten in moderation.|||AHHHHHHHHH..
Dont touch that white rice, NO...Bad....
Eat brown rice, its so much better for you. "White rice" is really polished rice where the husk and dark outer layer are polished off. These outer layers are where all the nutrients exist, leaving just the carbohydrate part of the kernel.
also. White bread, rice, and other carbs boost heart disease risk in women.

When I was little, my parents used to get Chinese take-out every New Years. They still do, but now I go out to parties and such. I was just wondering if any other people do the Chinese take-out on New Years.
Thanks|||No, sorry, but have never done Chinese on New Year's.
We bake a big ham, or turkey, or rib roast. Invite all our friends, family and neighbors. Have black eye peas (for good luck) cornbread, tons of sides, salads, everyone brings a dish, wine, beer, coolers, and lots of games, fun and all the kids have a ball.
There is nothing better! If it warm enought a little barbeque also, but usually too cold. Everyone has a special wonderful time together.
Love,
Andie|||I do! Chinese food are so DELICIOUS. Full of variety, and don't forget stir fried foods!
But the part where I love best, is when my family, and friends open up their fortune cookies, and laugh at the stupid fortunes.|||my best friend gets chinese on thanksgiving and christmas so you getting it on new years eve is not weird at all. chinese is amazing!|||Let me guess.

Don't worry.|||If your fridge remained below 45F. its fine, maybe not palatable, but definitely etable.
The ribs were about 2 inches long and the bone about the size of a small human finger (sorry it is the best I can describe)
I also bought frozen ribs from a well known supermarket and they were the same size.
Can you tell me which animal they came from?|||There pork side ribs that have been sawed in half, the long BBQ style in the UK only they cut them down, sweet and sour are generally just the bits around the sternum and plate, little meat but still useful.
My one chef mate in Liverpool uses the smaller ones for his hot pot dish with pork instead of lamb.|||Chinese restaurants sell pork ribs.
The ones you bought at the store should say on the package.
Oh yeah, you wanted to know what animal...pork comes from a pig.|||Most ribs sold are pork.|||chinese people usually make pork spare ribs...|||thatll teach you to not buy un-chinese food from chinese takeout restaurants!|||it's gotta be puddycat.|||Rat or rabit.|||a pig|||either sheep or pigs enjoy
I want to order something new, but I don't know what this is.|||I've seen this special on SO many chinese take-out menus. Usually, it is a combination of either BEEF, CHICKEN, PORK, & SHRIMP OR....LOBSTER, SHRIMP, CHICKEN, AND PORK. Either way, it's done in a tangy (spicy) chicken-broth based sauce, with GINGER, GARLIC, and ONIONS.
I've also seen it served with mixed vegetables or just snow peas and mushrooms.
Here's what a couple of the chinese restaraunts in my area say it is:
"Beef, chicken, shrimp, crabmeat, scallops and mixed vegetables stir-fried in four seasons sauce"
"Lobster, shrimp, scallops, and New Zealand Mussels w/ mixed vegetables in a delicate brown sauce"
A "delicate brown sauce" is usually a beef-based, ginger-ladened, spicy sauce - but it can also be an oyster-sauce with sezchuan spicy paste.
I hope this helps.|||it has 4 meats...chicken beef pork and maybe lobster. try it, it is good.|||mixed vegetables with 4 meats like chicken,shrimp,beef,pork|||I think it contains chicken,pork,beef, and seafood.

If not what sauce or sauce recipe is close to it?|||Most likely- yes--
but here is a bit more-- to make it home made
Put these together to make peanut flavor sauce
1/2 cup hoisin sauce
1/2 cup barbeque sauce
1 tablespoon peanut butter
1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger root|||look for ah-so sauce it is pink in the sauce or marinade section of your supermarket
I realize that every Chinese restaurant has their own recipe for this, so I am just really asking for an overview. Is the hot garlic sauce that's used on chicken or on vegetables low-fat or is it pretty high in calories? Thanks.|||Generally speaking, if it's oily it's likely fatty and not exactly diet fare.
But yes, each restaurant will have their own way of doing things, and some are certainly more health-conscious in their dishes than others.
The first link below estimates an average cup of it at 668 calories, and the fat--including saturated fat--and sodium are sky high.|||Most of them are a combination of peanut oil and soy sauce, with garlic and other spices thrown in. So it isn't fat free, but it's not bad fat either. And because of the variations, I can't give you a guess on the calories. What's the worst thing about the sauces is that they are very high in salt.
If you're concerned about fat and calories, the best thing is to order the steamed dishes.|||Most chinese restaurants use peanut oil as a base for that sauce. It has some fat, but similar to olive oil and avocados, it is a "good" fat that your body needs. A general rule of thumb is that as long as a sauce is not sweet or thick and creamy its okay. Sweet and sour sauce, red french dressing, syrups......anything cheese or cream based, mayo, gravies, etc. should be avoided. You do need to watch out for the salt and msg though which can cause water retention and is not good for your heart. Happy dieting!

My friends and relatives think I'm a weirdo for doing so.|||My 13 yr old does this, and it makes me cringe! Especially when she knows I will make her whatever she wants for breakfast. When she was young I asked her pediatrician about this and the Dr. said that as long as it is something healthy and good for them, it was OK. She even said pizza was good because it would have meat, veggies, crust and cheese...four of the food groups which is great! I think it is fine as long as you try to keep it healthy, maybe help it by eating a piece of fruit afterward. And quit worrying about "normal". How many "normal" people do you actually know?

From cold pizza to chinese food! Who says you can only have "breakfast food" in the morning? =o)|||I think some of these things are better choices nutritionally than others but, after that, it's a personal choice. Traditional breakfast foods also offer the same good and bad choices.|||i eat pizza, pasta, salmon, sandwiches for breakfast all the time...
no weirder than eating eggs or pancakes at dinnertime.|||OH but who am? a mom, cake is good to. Not the breakfast of champions|||Hello!
To most people, it is not normal to eat such items at breakfast. However, with working two jobs, I often don't have enough time to make a half-way decent breakfast, so I wind up rewarming whatever was left over from the night before. My favorite non-traditional breakfast food is Spaghettios with Meatballs. Although such eating may not be normal, it is probably more common than most think.|||Breakfast is in the eye of the beholder.|||Yes. Breakfast is just the first meal of the day. It doesn't matter what you eat, and if you wake up around noon then it seems perfectly normal to eat whatever as breakfast.|||Well, it's definitely weird, but I do it all the time, and my friends also think I'm weird. But who cares...it's food right?|||heck yea...it's called "break the fast", not "break the cereal". You can eat whatever you want.|||I think it's normal, and I do it. Those types of foods seem to stick with me longer, leaving me less hungry until lunch time. Plus, they're loaded with protein. There's nothing wrong with it. I'd rather eat a slize of pizza which has meat, dairy, vegetables and carbohydrates on it rather than pancakes which are nothing more than carbs and some sticky syrup and relatively unhealthy.|||It is rather heavy food for the morning. I don't think it is a common habit..hmm.. want to correct my last comment- I didn't think it was common until I read the other posts lol! I don't think i could eat a heavy breakfast in the morning.|||I believe most people do, and really what is 'normal' anyway?|||Maybe unhealthy but if you like them why not?

It's not that spicy but it has a kick in it that makes it #1 Chinese dish. For a side dish, I love Chow Mein. It looks disgusting but it tastes great. For a appitizer, I love Egg Drop Soup.

YUM!|||beef and broccoli here.....hmmmm so good|||chop suey
What kind of sauce are they using? It's delicious!|||It's very simple to make.
The main ingredient is just dark soy sauce (I use the Silver Swan brand, which comes in a glass bottle), generously drizzled over the noodles while cooking. You also need a tablespoon or two of sesame oil and a handful of chopped scallions/green onions.
Add scrambled eggs, snow peas, diced carrots, shrimp (pre-cooked), to suit your taste!|||Oh yeah, chicken broth will give it a little extra flavor without too much saltiness. The tablespoon of cornstarch just thickens the sauce a bit, and oyster sauce can be added for a twist of flavor. Report Abuse

If you look at the texture of the meat on a chicken Terriyaki stick, you will notice that it is usually very stringy and in-consistent with what you will find when you order 'fried chicken' or what your mom cooks. Why is this? Is it actually chicken? I personally think they are using Rabbit or some other type of meat. What do you think?|||Dog, cat, rat, pigeon, etc.|||I'm glad I don't go to where YOU go since you are apparently getting something besides chicken. Instead of challenging those who dared responded to your question, why don't YOU have the meat from your local restaurant analyzed? If you're right, then you can go to bed knowing we were all wrong.

I really hope someone from this decent can answer these questions.|||I rarely see Asian people ordering food at the typical, popular take-out restaurants in my area.
There are a few restaurants that have a relatively high percentage of Asian diners, and I frequent those. I have never taken notice of what anyone was ordering, but I will say that most of the dishes don't come heavily sauced. I actually like the taste much better. There is one in particular I really love that says it is Cantonese cuisine yet serves sushi. The dishes are especially fresh tasting and flavorful but still simple. The steamed or stir-fried veggies as well as their soups are to die for. So while I have no idea what they order, I'm guessing General Tso's Chicken is not on the list lol.|||in north america, we eat americanized versions of chinese food. our versions are salty, starchy, sugary and full of msg... real chinese food is much simpler and isn't covered in excessive sauces. food is adapted to suit the taste in the region, and in north america we are used to a lot of sugar and salt and fat
i'm actually surprised you have seen any oriental customers period at these places!|||They don't. They make their own food at home--recipes you will never see on the menu at a restaurant.
Where I live there is a large Chinese population. You never see them in "Chinese" restaurants, though you will see them every day in the non-specific local cafes and eateries.|||I work with several chinese people who eat chinese take out that includes meat.

Do you steam it, or what? and if so, how? can i do it with boil-in-a-bag?|||for goodness sakes don't get boil in a bag rice....rice is a fairly simple thing to cook...this is how i do it and it was passed down from my grandmother who cooked rice all her life---take 2 cups rice and put into a pot rinse under cold water until water is clear (this gets rid of some of the extra starches) then fill pot with water until it reaches the level of the first line in your index finger (trust me i do it this way EVERY time I make rice and it works)...cook on stove on high until it just boils (make sure it doesn't boil over) turn down to med/low heat and continue cooking for about 20 mins. You can also leave rice on the lowest setting while cooking the rest of your meal. You don't need to stir it while it's cooking but you will need to fluff it with a fork before serving. Good luck!|||you're welcome! if you have any questions feel free to message me :) Report Abuse
|||Chinese rice is always steamed (unless its fried rice)... If it's gluey its means its over cooked. So if that's what you want just over cook it.|||First you have to buy the right kind of rice. Go to an international food store and tell them what you want.
Second buy a rice cooker. You can get one at target for about 15 bucks. Its a steamer but will keep you from burning the rice.|||I have cooked rice before and left it sitting out for longer than i should and it got all sticky like that. If you buy like minute rice and just follow the instructions on the box, then just leave it on the stove for like 20 minutes instead of 10 it should get all gooey.|||Sticky Rice
Servings: Serves 4.Glutinous rice is distinctively aromatic and appealingly chewy.
Before being steamed, it requires at least 3 hours of soaking (overnight is fine, too).
Ingredients:
2 cups Thai glutinous rice
Preparation:
Cover rice with plenty of water in a large bowl and soak at room temperature at least 3 hours.
Drain and put in a cheesecloth-lined steamer basket.
Steam rice, covered, over boiling water until shiny and tender, about 20 minutes.
Remove from heat and let stand, covered, 5 minutes before serving.
Note:
鈥?Lao cooks use a large, conical steamer basket for steaming the rice, but we found that a footed colander or the steamer insert of a pasta pot worked well, too.
Sticky Rice
Servings: Makes 6 servings.
Ingredients:
3 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups short-grain rice (such as sushi rice)
Preparation:
Bring water to boil in small saucepan.
Stir in salt and rice; bring to boil.
Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until water is absorbed and rice is tender, about 17 minutes.
Remove pan from heat.
hope these help. enjoy.|||You can steam it or boil it, I would boil it unless you have a steamer. DO NOT STIR a lot. Rice has starch in it, the more you stir it the more it breaks down the starch. The chinese food rice is cooked in a rice cooker (boiled) however they just scoop it out when it is done. The more you stir, the looser it gets. Hope this helps. To boil- use chicken stock/veg. stock instead of just plain water for more flavor, bring to a boil then add rice, cover with piece of alum. foil and poke a pin size hole in the top to allow steam to escape-turn heat on low....about 25-30 min should be done.|||Here's my easy method for steamed rice without a rice cooker.
1) Add 1 cup long-grain rice (I prefer Mahatma jasmine rice for it's cleanliness and aroma) to a 2-quart tight-fitting pan.
2) Rinse rice with cold water about 6 times until water runs clear.
3) Add 1-1/2 cups cold water to pan, stir, cover, but allow cover to rise up on one side a bit.
4) Bring to boil, reduce heat to low, and boil for exactly 5 minutes.
5) Cover pot tightly with lid, and allow to simmer on low for exactly 10 minutes.
6) Remove from heat, and allow to stand for 15 minutes.
7) Uncover and fluff rice with fork.

I know it depends on what food you're eating, but typically, how many servings are in typical Chinese take-out containers? (Both small and large.)
Thanks!|||Typically, both take-out containers come with an additional container with stamed white rice. assuming you'll eat the rice along with what you've ordered then a small container is for 2 people, and a large quart container is for 4. Due to our tendency to eat portions that are too large, most people think a small container is one serving.|||Actually it depends on where you go, I have often bought a small serving and it is enough for two. If you were to analyse the quantities, it wouldn't surprise me if there were two servings.|||Depends on how hungry you are. About once a week I get Yat Gaw Mein soup and bean curd with garlic sauce. This lasts me 2-3 days.|||The containers are either pint, or quart, take it from there.|||samall - one

Our Prom is themed "Shanghai Knights" and so I wanted to put some detail into asking my girlfriend to it using the Chinese Takeout Boxes.|||your best bet is to look for a trade supplier.

they may well have too many :)|||Your local party store. They're very popular around here for goodie and party gift boxes for weddings and events. You can even get them in different colors to go with the theme.|||I think that you can find a similar type box at a craft store such as Michael's Craft store.|||Try your local restaurant supplier. They will have them.|||at a chinese take out resturant|||probably a craft store like michaels :)

Thanks!|||Why don't you just go to a Chinese restaurant and see if they will sell you some. If not just go to a restaurant supply store such as "Cash and Carry". It will be cheaper than Michaels. The price markup at Michaels is terrible. They have a 40% off coupon every week and they still make 200% on the items. They have the exact same liquid potpourri at the dollar store that Michaels charges $3.98 for.|||I have a ton of them left over from my wedding--we found a place that sells them wholesale out of Pittsburgh

I know its weird, but me and my sister have always wanted to eat at one of those places that has the chinese takeout boxes. We've been to a couple chinese places, but they don't seem to have them.

Thanks for the help.~|||They really don't use those anymore.
I do know that if you get a to-go box at China View, and ask for more rice, it comes in a container like you describe.|||I know what you mean. I live in Houston, was born and raised here. I was going to Timmy Chan's (is that the name?), until the food got so greasy you could wipe a car with it! There are tons of Chinese places here, but I don't know of any who give you the little boxes like on television. Mostly you get just a regular doggy bag with the food in a styrafoam container, LOL. There maybe some places that give them, but so far I haven't seen it from the Chinese restaurants in Houston. Also, I think the little boxes are not what most Chinese restaurants are using anymore(old-fashioned I believe) and mostly for show on television. I haven't found them in other places either. You notice they don't offer chopsticks at most of these places either anymore?
By the way, I live on the SW side, by Almeda. That's how I got familiar with Timmy Chan's because it was the only Chinese place in this area.|||Try Auntie Chang's Dumpling House at Shepard & Westheimer. It's been awhile since I've been there but they used to have them.
At worst you could go buy the little boxes at one of the restaurant supply places off of St. Emanuel and take them with you to any Chinese restaurant.|||I can think of a couple, but you'll have to do a little driving to get to them. Flaming Wok in Pasadena has them. So does 888 in Dickinson. The other 888 in Houston may have them too, because I think they're owned by the same people (could be wrong about that though). |||I know what you mean. I loved those little boxes, also. The main reason they no longer use them is that, remember, the handles were metal. This does not make for good microwaving...|||Lawndale Fish Market has them. They serve the shrimp fried rice in them. Very unique. They are on Lawdale between Wayside and 75th.

I'm writing a historical novel, and need to know the name of the little take-out place on about 47th & Sandy in Portland. I know it was there in the early 70's but I'm not sure how long before or after. I ran across a picture of it online awhile back, and forgot to bookmark it - if you find that, I will definitely give you best answer!
Thanks so much!
Lilly|||I know exactly which restaurant you are talking about. I visited the take-out place at 4644 NE Sandy once when I lived in the area in 2001. It looked like it hadn't changed in decades when I visited. I thought it was so strange that they only had take-out. It was very old style, greasy, MSG laced Chinese take-out.

I've been to a couple indian places and enjoy the curry chicken, thinking about trying it at the chinese place. Thoughts?|||Don't bother. :(
The chinese restaurant doesn't make it like Indians. They use different spice blends and they don't roast the spices first which is crucial. I've tried it in countless places across the country thinking it was only the restaurant but they all disappointed me and tasted bland.
No offense to the Chinese I think they are some of the best chefs on earth but each peoples has their own specialty. The Indians have spice dishes and the Chinese have theirs, I've yet to taste any non-chinese that can cook chinese food as good as a seasoned chinese chef!|||Chinese place will usually give you whatever you want. I know i have asked for a few veggies above and beyond what was included in my meal and they gave them to me with no problem. I have also ask for some a different sauce than what was included and got that with no problem too.
I said all that to say that they can definitely cook and the curry chicken will probably be just fine. However, I'd probably lean towards a Thai restaurant if I wanted to have an Asian curry dish.|||Depends on the place. I've tried really great curry chicken at Chinese places but on the other hand, sometimes, it just tastes like chicken, oil, and heat. It's a hit or miss, if you're willing to take the risk.|||It's usually mild, like most mainstream Chinese dishes. If you enjoy Indian curry, you'd probably like Malaysian/Indonesian curries too.|||It would be as good as from an Italian restaurants......neither the Chinese nor the Italian knows how to make curry.

So, I read Kate Bush ate Chinese food and like.. I like Kate Bush & Chinese food, and I wanted to know if Australian's way to Chinese food is the same/very very similar to the British way of it? Is the Aussie way more like Americans, maybe? Which one is healthier: The Australian way, or the British way?|||I think it depends who the chef is. I mean if in the UK or Australia a Chinese chef is cooking the food then to me thats 100% authentic chinese food.|||I think the only places where you can eat authentic Chinese food is at the local places of origin in China.
Be it UK or Aussie, we are all eating some kind of fusion Chinese food. The UK people have been eating Chinese food longer than the Aussies, so I guess the Chinese food in UK would be more authentic.|||Australian Chinese food is completely different to the stuff you get in the UK. It's probably more authentic (maybe due to it's closer proximity to China).
Edit: The UK eating Chinese food longer would make it less authentic. It's had far more time to adapt to the tastes of the locals.
I eat a chinese take out with my wife once a week. During the week we cook and eat well and are in fairly good shape. A friend recently said that chinese take-out is full of MSG and was really really bad for your health. Now my relaxed Sunday with a take-out and a DVD is under threat... Any one with some light on this subject? Thanks.|||MSG is actually really bad for you, but now a lot of Chinese food restaurants are MSG-free. They usually show the "No MSG" sign on the front of their menus, but if not you can always ask them if they still have it in their food. If the place you are going still has it, I would definitely recommend going to a different restaurant that no longer uses it because the toxins can be quite devistating to women who are pregnant, and to a normally healthy body.
Another thing you should probably be concerned about is the fat in these foods. They are really unhealthy, but if you only consume the take out once a week then it's up to you on what you want to go into your body.
For your question though, I would definitely make sure you are are eating from a restaurant that is "MSG-Free."|||I usually get the steamed chicken and broccoli and add a light soy sauce, that's pretty healthy.|||Indulging yourself once a week is a rather good thing. Some people choose cake, some choose mexican, and others still, like you, choose to dine on Chinese food. Instead of never allowing yourself a treat, you've mastered the idea of a balance of a good diet and being in shape-so having chinese food once a week isn't going to have a hugely negative effect on you.
Now that MSG has fallen beneath a negative limelight, more and more chinese restaurants are switching to dishes that include no MSG. MSG is a cheap way to make things taste slightly better than they did before--without the more expensive spices. It also poses a threat to nerves though, because MSG has been noted as being a potent neurotoxin. The neurons become so overly excited by MSG that they die, which is one of the reasons that people living in China have an increased rate of glaucome.
Call your favorite chinese take-out restaurant and inquire whether they do use MSG in their cooking. They'll know right away.
Be careful that when you do get chinese that you don't buy so much that you're actually eating it for lunch several days afterwards...then it's no longer a weekly treat but more of a food staple, not necessaril y a good thing unless you're only ordering steamed vegetables and grilled (not delectably fried) meats.
Happy eating!|||Any restaurant foods in general had hidden additives. I personally would say its not that great for your health. Its not just the MSG its also the added salt and sugar in your sauces as well as added fats and oils.
Home made Chinese food is much much much better for you because you can minimize your additives.
Tips for ordering (link provided below where I found this)
When ordering an appetizer, keep in mind that egg drop, wonton or hot and sour soups have less fat and calories than an egg roll, fried dumplings or spareribs.
Select foods that are steamed, broiled or roasted. Words such as coated, twice-cooked, batter-coated, marinated or crispy suggest a food is prepared in a way that increases its fat content.
Avoid crispy chow mein noodles, which are high in fat.
Good low-fat Chinese entrees include: chicken, beef, pork or shrimp chow mein, chop suey, moo goo gai pan, and stir-fried meat with vegetables.
Request dishes with as little sauce as possible or, better yet, with the sauce on the side. Sauces, seasonings, marinades and hot oil cooking can greatly increase the sodium and fat content of seemingly healthy dishes -- such as steamed vegetables and fish. Ask for reduced sodium soy sauce if you're watching your sodium intake. Duck and plum sauces are fat-free, but high in sugar.
Order steamed rice instead of fried rice. Eat more rice and less of the entree. The rice will fill you up, with less fat.
To decrease calorie intake, share large restaurant entrees with a companion or bring the leftovers home to enjoy at another meal.
For dessert, have a fortune cookie, of course!|||Well Its Not Good
But If Your In Good Shape Then Thats Ok Just Make Sure You Stay Like That
Tbh Its Not Up To Your Friend Its Up To You!|||depends on what you get, sesime chicken is like taking three big macs and putting them on rice!
try out some mushu tofu, and make sure they don't fry the tofu, great stuff and harmless!|||that's not good.i use to eat it at least once a week and i stop now i eat it 3 times a month|||most of the MSG is in the sauces they use. Ask for your meat grilled, your vegetables steamed and your sauce on the side so you can limit the amount of it you eat, if you eat any at all. Also as yummy as it is go for white rice (or brown if they have it!) instead of the friend rice, it's high in MSG and sodium too!|||Chinese Food has too much oil which will spoil your body's health. Plus the Mono Sodium Glutamate, the artificial colours in the sauce, Ajinomoto, the taste enhancer can cause cancer!!!.
If I were to order something that had more veggies than meat, and if the meat wasn't fried, would you say that's a healthier alternative than the average take-out? Is it better than, say, McDonald's or a pizza?|||Dirtiest food going. I'd say anything was more healthier than a chinese.|||It MIGHT probably be a little "healthier" than mcdonalds or pizza... here are HEALTHY recipes for pizza, stir fry, and burger (from youtube)!!

Pizza can be healthy too, if it's made in a healthy way. I think they're both pretty good, I'd keep my distance from McDonald's food personally.|||Not good. Possibly worse than McDonald's. There is heavy fried coating on much of it. Even if there are vegetables, they are coated in sugar sauce...and then add the rice. If you want proof you can eat fast food and actually lose weight, check out the movie "Fat Head". Funny and educational.|||the killer on any take out is the salt content. some chinese food is fried, and has more fat that you realize. i like general tao,s chicken. probably worse than chicken mcnuggets.|||Define "average"
i absolutely love pork potstickers, but i can't find a recipie that tastes like the chine take-out ones. i know i can taste scallion, ginger, sesame oil, and garlic, but i'm not sure of the other ingredients.|||Here is a recipe I use, however I use shredded cabbage in place of the spinach.
http://www.fast-and-delicious.com/chines鈥?/a>|||This is the recipe I've used - I got it from the package of potsticker wrappers:
1lb ground pork
1/2 large cabbage, shredded
3-4 green onions, sliced
1-2 tbls fresly ground ginger (yes, freshly ground)
3-4 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tbls seasame oil
1/4C soy sauce
Take a sheet pan and line it with paper towels or a clean dish towel. Spread the cabbage out on the towel, liberally sprinkle with salt, cover with a 2nd towel, a 2nd sheet pan, and put some heavy cans on top to weigh the pan down. Let sit for an hour. After an hour, briefly rinse the cabbage to remove the salt and then wring out in more dry towels. It is imperative you remove as much water as possible.
Combine all the filling ingredients in a large bowl and mix with your hands as if you're making meatloaf. If you like, you can let this sit in the fridge until you're ready to make the potstickers. I like to let the mixture sit an hour in the fridge to let the flavors mingle anyways.
To make the pot stickers, place a rounded spoonful of filling in the middle of the wrapper. Wet the edges with some water, then wrap it. You can use a variety of techniques, from crimping like you see on gyoza, or just a simple pinch like you see on pot stickers.
To cook, get a large frying pan over med-high heat. NO OIL. When the pan is hot, quickly arrange the pot stickers, flat side down, in the pan. They can touch, so get as many in there as you can. Now pour 1/4-1/3C of water over the pot stickers, and clamp on a lid. Cook covered for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and continue cooking until the water has completely evaporated. This will give the potstickers their characteristic brown bottoms. Turn off the heat and remove from pan. You can sometimes just flip the whole pan over onto a plate, and they'll come out in one large pretty bunch.
Serve with soy sauce for dipping, on the side.|||This my favorite recipe for pork potstickers. The ingredient you may be missing is the shrimp. I do not care for cabbage, so I leave that out. I also prefer them panfried versus steamed.

Can anyone offer advice on a healthy option for Chinese take-out? I'm looking for lowest fat, calories, and sodium. I'm mulling over the following choices for lunch today:
Ginger Chicken
Chicken w/Broccoli
Chicken or Pork Lo Mein
Szechuan Beef
Thanks!|||Chicken w/broccoli would be best. I would opt to not eat fried rice with it though. Instead use the white rice or brown rice if they have it. And of course water is your best option to wash it down. I had chinese yesterday. YUM|||Go for Chicken with brocolli (chicken is leaner than pork and the fact that brocolli is a veggie counts as healthy) and instead of getting the rice go for the steamed veggie, drop the lo-mein or rice and no sodas go for water!!!.. Happy Eating|||Chicken with Broccoli would be my healthy choice.|||Steamed chicken with broccoli and brown rice and brown sauce on the side.|||I would select Chicken/ Broccoli.
Reason: Ginger Chicken sounds deep-fry with a sweet glaze, Lo Mein is processed with unknown amount of sodium, szechuan beef has a higher fat content than chicken most of the time.
Enjoy!|||Well... probably chicken w/broccoli but if you want healthy asian food, see if you can find a thai food place that will deliver.|||Probably Chicken w/Broccoli ~
I got some pretty bad soggy General Tso's chicken take out last night and I am going to try to see if I can make something out of the leftovers. Is there any way to make it less soggy and have some better texture and flavor?|||Try baking the chicken in the oven.|||Unless you're adding fresh vegetables or something else that has some texture to it, there's no way to do this. Reheating it in any way will just make it more soggy and overcooked.
See if you can get some fried wonton noodles and use the Gen'l Tso's as a sauce for them. The sauce will soften the noodles a little so you don't feel like you're crunching on twigs and the noodles in turn will give it some texture.|||I'm sorry about your food..my parents own a chinese restaurant so let me tell u what we can let our customers do...well first if they don't want their food to get too soggy if they're taking stuff to go is that they can ask for the sauce on the side, and then when you go home just put how much you want on ur chicken...then you have sauce on the side and the sauce doesn't make ur chicked as soggy..you can also re-fry the chicken..but since the sauce is there you really can't do that...I would just cook it in a wok or pan to make it seem more fresh..that helps somewhat....but there's really no other way to make food fresh again...
So next time just ask the restaurant ur going to, to put the sauce on the side...or maybe make the chicken extra crispy (i mean tell the restaurant too)|||I usually reheat General Tso's in my wok. Nothing is going to compare to the fresh dish - but refrying it in the pan is worlds better than the soggy mess it becomes in the microwave.|||LAy out some foil on a cookie sheet... place the chicken spread out on it... BROIL in the oven until its sizzling.... leave the oven door open while broiling.
This always helps crisp up soggy left overs!!|||Re-fry it or put it in the oven on broil to make it crispy again.|||put more breading then deep fry it!!!|||broil it

I'd say we average about 1 time per month. We live across the street from a really good take out place so it was getting a bit out of control.|||Depends but maybe once every two to three months.|||2x a month|||I have a 3 Chinese places within walking distance, so I get take out about 8 times a year.|||Like once a month there is not that many Chinese places except for Zuu's which is almost never open and Lamb's which is way too expensive.|||Last year 2 times. I just ordered it on the internet and got it delivered to my home.|||At Least once a week, sometimes twice but I am really tryin to cut back so I may refrain for the next two weeks.|||Not usually more than half a dozen times a year because it is too expensive for my favourite dishes.
But if I want reasonably healthy takeout for the same price as a burger and fries, I'll just get fried rice.
I think I'd get sick of it if I had it more than once a week.
I am ordering Bourbon chicken for a buffet party this weekend and also preparing lots of other foods such as home made mac & cheese, boneless pork ribs, and mashed potatoes with shallots. When I order the bourbon chicken from Chinese take out, they will give me lots of white rice with the take out order. I would like to incorporate the rice in to my buffet but do not want to serve just plain white rice. Is there anything I can do to rice after it has been cooked to alter it and bring this rice to a new and tasty side dish?|||Broccoli cheese and rice casserole would go nice with your ribs. I have an aunt that served this every holiday. We loved it, easy to make and serve. And she used cheddar, not American. I put two different ones here, so you could choose.
You might want to make a stir fry of your own with the rice, They are easy, and you do not need a wok. You could make flavored rice to go with a chinese entree like mongolian beef, or a seafood dish.

It tastes very good.
~Paige K|||make chicken fried rice...mmmm|||You can make fried rice, usually leftover rice is best for this anyway. There's lots of recipes out there, just google it. I usually put mixed frozen veggies (peas/corn/carrot), spam/ham, spring onion, scrambled egg, light soy.|||I agree with the others that you can make fried rice. However, if it were me, I would just ask the restaurant to give me fried rice instead of white.|||I usually chop up some zucchini, green peppers, mushrooms, and onions and marinate them with balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, rosemary, thyme, salt and pepper. I throw them in the oven for 30 minutes at 500 F and stir about every 10 minutes. I put the vegetables over the rice and the sauce adds a lot of flavor to the white rice.
It's so dam sweet n delicious n u only get a tiny lil cup n I wanna know how to make the same sauce you get w/ dumplings at chinese take out places...anyone work at one?|||If you want the actual sauce you can follow the recipe below. Black vinegar are available at most Asian stores. The Black vinegar is not as sour as apple cider or white vinegar. If you can't find Black vinegar, you can use sushi vinegar instead (if you can't find either - use distilled/white vinegar, but lessen the amount to taste).
Chinese Dumplings (Jiaozi or Potstickers) Dipping Sauce
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons black rice vinegar
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
optional: 1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
optional: 1 teaspoon finely grated garlic
optional: 1 teaspoon mirin (sweet rice wine) or Sugar
optional: 1 teaspoon chili sauce - not the red kind (or use Tabasco sauce)
optional: 2 -3 dashes sesame oil (to get that real Chinese flavor sauce but, if you don't have, you don't need to add)
Preparation:
Mix all black rice vinegar and light soy sauce
and add one or more of the optional ingredients.
Let the dipping sauce infuse a few minutes before serving.|||Hmmm, this could be tricky as dipping sauces vary with dumplings and the main one shouldn't really be too sweet.
Jiaozi, the standard japanese dumpling tends to be eaten with a dipping sauce made with soy and rice vinegar. I occasionally add a little sesame oil to mine...or if i'm making a batch, could bash garlic and chilli to a smooth paste with a little sugar and salt, before combining with the soy sauce and rice vinegar for a slightly hotter sauce.
In dim sum restaurants, you often get a little plate with a take on sweet chilli sauce, this is a sweeter orange coloured sauce and your best bet is to find a bottle at your local asian supermarket.

1) sprinkle some chicken essence
2) stir fry with ready made chicken stock
3) just add salt and sugar
Always marinate and tenderize the beef.|||i fell on this one day for the kids
yes marinate,,, i use Whorchester and garlic in one cup of beef(i use coffee cups):

Or you could go to Subway and eat fresh. your friend could get the cheese sub and you could get whatever maybe the turkey sub or ham sub. $ 5 foot longs are cheap too.|||You shouldn't be going Chinese restaurant because of most of food is unhealthy.

The cost of renting or purchasing suitable premises will depend significantly on the location you choose. You will need to ensure the location is easily accessible for the range of customers you could attract, and that the surrounding areas have plenty of parking. It will also be necessary to budget for the renovation and refurbishment of the premises to ensure they meet with current hygiene standards.
Depending on the state of the premises you choose, you may need to fit out the kitchen with non-porous work surfaces and a range of industrial cooking equipment, such as industrial ovens (from 拢1,500 each), an extraction system (from 拢500), industrial fridges and freezers (from 拢800) and dishwashers (from 拢400). In addition you will need to invest in a number of woks, as well as general kitchen equipment such as knives, pans and chopping boards.
The restaurant will need to be welcoming and comfortable for diners, and you will need to budget for a range of tables of different sizes (from 拢50 each for a small two person table, to 拢250 for larger tables), as well as chairs (from 拢50 each). You may choose to fit out a bar area with comfortable couches where customers can wait until their table is ready. You will also need to budget for linen, crockery, cutlery, glasses and cups. The Catering Equipment Distributors Association (CEDA - www.ceda.co.uk) provides information on suppliers across the UK who will be able to provide detailed costings.
Generic expenses to budget for include utilities, a PC and printer for taking customer bookings and keeping records (from 拢400), insurance, staff uniforms, and the costs associated with advertising and marketing your restaurant.
Shop around and see who will supply cheap menus, maybe you could even design them yourselves on a computer but most printing comapanies will offer the service, just go with the cheapest|||Associations may be a good avenue to explore.

If you don't have any experience, it will be better for you to buy an existing Chinese take-out restaurant instead of setting up a new one. You can find many Chinese take-out restaurant that are on-sale in the Chinese newspaper. You don't need to pay a consultant fee, but the seller will teach you everything, or even allow you to learn with them for a few months (They teach you everything including where to get source of the food and supplies, how to prepare each dish, how to take order if your English is not good and even driving direction to local address etc.) The cost of buying one usually is cheaper than setting up a new one as you also bought all used tools (If you are counting all the cost including adveristing, lose money for first few months, license to meet different requirements etc.) The seller will give you some record of how many business the take-out will get for each month etc.
Well... I have a couple friends. Originally, they are nothing to do with Restaurant business, but they both are owners of a Chinese take-out. Both of them never enters kitchen before owning a Chinese take-out. Their Take-out still runs fine.
- Maybe you will ask why people are selling their business if they are profitable.
A Chinese take out opens every day from 11 to 11, plus 1 or 2 hours of preparation. You are going to work over 12 hours a day and at least 6 days a week. You need a partner - mostly spouse, you may have 1 day off per week. No public holiday except 1 day Thanksgiving, and no vacation. You gain money but no time to spend at all. You will know why you want to sell it even it is in good profit after 10 years or so. (There are quite some people retire at late 40 to early 50 and went back to China. Or selling their business, and take a year or two as vacation, and buy another one when the vacation is off.)

No matter where we get it at, it is always tender and has a unique texture.
Anyone know the reason behind this, or better yet worked in such a place to know the secret?|||Along with the other two answers, the meat is sliced thin, across the grain, and cooked quickly.|||perhaps it is not beef. ; )|||I'm not sure about marinating it in lime soda , but yes..they marinate it for a long time in some sort of marinade sauce which breaks down the muscle in it and makes it tender...|||Most restaurants prefer to
Quickly use fresh meat - not ---marinating-waiting for an order-let me waste a few minutes using/cleaning etc a mallet on the meat.
1) cut the meat AGAINST the grain
2) Lightly coat with corn starch
3) cook quickly in stainless steel pot/pan that has heated (very hot) peanut oil in it.
4) throw prepped veggies and condiments in.
5) Stir around to coat food with flavor
6) Serve asap nice 'n' hot! =)|||This reminds me of an experience I had one time while eating a beef dish at a Chinese restaurant. The cook came out and talked to me.
