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!

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?

    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.

    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

  • 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.


    (on my street... it's all wine and seafood joints... how about that one uhummm?)


    and in NOVA there's not one chili joint to salvage my rectum muscles.. then when i ask for it they go "are you from up north".


    any town that doesn't have bbq or chili... is a bankrupt town... and i hate oysters from everywhere but the Chesapeake.... sorry dears... new england isn't oyster central.. those things are microscopic!

    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. Either the website was more informational without calorie counts, or it had calorie counts but they were very few and were mostly concerned with home cooked chinese food. 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. Please let me know if you find anything. Also if anyone knows a chinese take out place that actually has their own listings, email me, and maybe you can fax me the sheet. Thanks guys.|||Panda Express has a link for nutritional info on their website. Are you sure you want to look?? I can't chow down on their Orange Chicken without thinking about the 20 miles I have to run to burn it off..|||american chinese food is very bad for u. its not what chinese people in china really eat. but maybe u can ask them for a nutritional value sheet when u order ur food|||I think you need a Chinese person to help you find what you need in China, and I know a website can provide the service , the service is called "Person to Person" http://www.knowhowing.com/persontoperson鈥?/a> 锛?through the service you just like engage a "agent" in China to help you to find what you need in China.

After all it was their satellite they destroyed and as they built it and launched it are quite in titled to destroy it if they so chose. 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.

    it would seem that the soviet union and the united states have also demonstrated the ability to kill satellites. i don't remember very many people being upset over that.|||I think it was a deliberately provocative statement! Be afraid, be very afraid!|||Well after reading several articles on the subject: The Chinese claim that they don't want space to be "Weaponized". So they are against the U.S. building of space weapons. But then they try and get away with blowing up a god damn satallite in space...

    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!




    God Bless the USA~|||It's just a new technology they've came up with, why are people so concerned? Others are just jealoused (including me!). It's just so AWESOME!!! Smart people these days!!

    Friday, February 24, 2012

    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

  • I've never ordered food to my house before, and Im usually pretty bad with tips I've been told, (like 3 o 5 bucks to the waiters at restaurants) (cuz thats what i think is ok i wasnt aware that most ppl leave like 10 to 20 bucks!!) and so now i ordered food, and the guys on its way and i dont wanna seem like an idiot so how much am i supposed to give him in cash? they already told me that they charged me an additional 1.50 for delivery.....thanks|||Those guys don't need a tip because they're ripping off the government anyway. 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.

    it says 10$ minimum order most other menus say delivery charges if they have them.

    this one didnt i was annoyed by this so the driver actually
    ended up getting less. normally i would give a minimum tip of atleast 2$ its only 3 blocks away. but because of this hidden delivery charge i'im annoyed i' haven't paid close attn in the past.

    what do u think. .is it shady?|||I always thought pizza delivery was STILL FREE but pizza hut ads on as much as 3 dollars for the delivery charge.
    You people are MISSING the point of the question its not that he didn't want to pay the extra dollar its that he didn't know it existed ..so he felt bad cause the driver didn't as much on the tip ...
    But yes I do feel as though they should advertise it..you know who else does not??
    MCDONALD'S when you go through the drive Thru here there is TAKE OUT charge....so its extra like 50 cents?why?im not using your bathroom or doing anything inside your store..?look at your receipt your state may not do it but I live in fla and they do!!
    |||Why argue the point? Pay the dollar and you won't have to argue with a Chinese guy in your foyer.

    Chinese guy: You pay nodder dorrah.
    You: What?
    C.G. - You owe nodder dorrah. Deriviry chaaage.
    You: It doesn't say that on the menu. You are only a couple of blocks away.
    C.G.: You pay extrar dorrah. No matta how crose. You pay for deriviry chaaage. Next time, you go pick up. Order pizza cheap azzhole.|||does the menu say "prices subject to change"? is it irritating you that the driver got less of a tip? it shouldn't. that delivery charge goes to pay for the cost of delivering it to you, ie: the delivery man's wages etc... |||no, it's normal. almost all places have minimum delivery, which is great. that means there is NO delivery charge if it's over that amount.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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!

    My boyf dad has offered to buy take out so i cant be rude and say no. Im going the gym before hand so im gonna feel like its a real waste if i eat something really bad so what can i have that wont make me feel too guilty? Would boiled rice and a veg curry or just curry sauce be OK? Im currently on slimmers world too and im on a green day so ideally i shouldnt have any meat but ill go with the best suggestion!|||One meal is not going to hurt your diet. 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 have been craving chinese food a lot lately (yay 'that time of the month). I'd really like to make some chinese food at home that is like the kind you get from a take-out place. That's my favorite kind, however unhealthy it is. Haha.

    My favorites are steamed dumplings (and the sauce!), pork fried rice, lo mein, general tso's chicken, seasame chicken, crab ragoon, and terriaky chicken (like you get on the stick).

    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.

  • Is Chinese Take Out alright to have occasionally? I know there's a ton of sodium, calories, and fat packed into it, so I was wondering..

    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 )

    Snack; Apple
    Dinner; Spaghetti with homemade meat and vegetable sauce, 1% milk

    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.

    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??
    You get what you pay for.|||Due to a high lead content.

  • 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.

    Also, asian markets sell them. I also have people asking to eat chinese out of those little boxes. They arent so bad, they are small enoguh to carry and eat out of, but are annoying if your sitting down and eating. |||Not around here. Some non-chinese restaurants use them for to-go boxes!

    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. The cooks just threw stuff in a pot to feed them and that was the origin of chop suey.|||Chop suey (Chinese 'mixed pieces') is an American-Chinese dish consisting of meats (often chicken, beef, shrimp or pork), cooked quickly with vegetables such as bean sprouts, cabbage, and celery and bound in a starch-thickened sauce. 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. Some may even include bell peppers and/or cauliflower.|||Its lots of veg. with a creamy white clear sauce it comes with chicken or with shrimp taste great with white rice..|||chinese mixed veggies|||Everything....

    And judging by their menu offerings, and identical taste accross restaurants, they MUST have the same supplier.

    Can anyone confirm this?

    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.

  • 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

    ...I will waste my money and not like it, don't have cash to throw away! I never tasted these other things, workers there don't speak good enough english to ask their opinions, I tried once before. Anyway, I usually have either general tso or sweet sour chicken...here's what I want to try and gimme your take on the matter, these are all same price:

    - 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. It's made with noodles.|||Don'''t waste your money on that muck just get a bacon sandwich tastes a whole lot better|||cahsew nut chicken.

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 ! :)

    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.

    I decided to buy the little chinese take out boxes to use as favors for my bridal shower. I am going to fill them with candy but should I line the box with something? The boxes are plain white....any ideas for dressing them up a little? Any ideas on candy?|||I love this idea!

    I dont know if you have them already, but I found a site that has favor boxes on sale right now and they carry the boxes you want for 1/2 pints 50 for $8.99. You can also see in the picture how they have dressed them up.
    http://www.efavormart.com/index.asp?Page鈥?/a>

    I am going to the Lindt chocolate store and buying truffles and putting them in our favor boxes, they have all different kinds and if you buy the big bags its pretty econmical. Or you could do Hershey kisses, really anything you want.

    Good luck!|||Another suggestion besides candy might be chocolate dipped fortune cookies to go along with your chinese container idea.

    If you or a friend you know is artistic you can paint or stencil a design (theme of your wedding or shower) to vibe it up a little.|||I think take-out boxes are so cute for wedding favors. 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. Keep in mind that red is considered a lucky color in Chinese culture.

    As for the candy, the sky is the limit. I know some candies like M&Ms can be ordered in custom colors to match the wedding and reception. You could line the box with something like Easter grass if the candy doesn't come in wrappers.|||You could put tissue paper in the inside. Use the colors that are used in the wedding. Mints would be a good idea or some type of chocolate in candy molds. there are wedding bell molds, etcs.. you could always write the brides name in a nice pen on the outside and the date of the shower. 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 could always place a fortune cookie in the inside with a thank you note inside the cookie! Hope this helps!|||clear cellophane decorative bags or paper. Then tie them on top with ribbon and then slide them in the bags.|||First I'd like to offer you best wishes on your up coming wedding.The take out boxes are a wonderful idea ! You can get some wedding stickers at one of the Hallmark stores and decorate them. You can sprinkle on some glitter.You can also get pretty tissue paper at the same store maybe in your wedding colors.Add bows with curly ribbon.And they are going to look great! 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.

    Where's my great American Papa John's?

    Replaced by a Chinese restaurant, that's what's happened.

    Is Chinese take-out withering away the underlying establishment of the Great American economy?

    What are some solutions?|||Great question


    Chinese restaurants should be closed down


    Do you know that they put poison in our food?

    Are you sure the owner of the new business is Chinese?

    The pizza came from Europe.

    Arrivederci.|||Okay, first, Papa John's sucks. Their sauce is too sweet and I have to say that I am not a fan of chain pizza "restaurants".

    Second, if you don't like Chinese take out, then go somewhere else.|||Next time you are in NYC try a real pizza. Papa John's isn't pizza its chain restaurant garbage.

    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.

    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

    1/4 cup tamari, dark, sweet soy sauce, eyeball the amount
    1/2 cup vegetable or chicken stock, or about half of one 14 ounce container
    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
    1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced
    5 scallions, thinly sliced on an angle
    2 cups fresh bean spouts, 4 handfuls
    3 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds or black sesame seeds, for garnish
    Put a large pot of water on to boil for pasta.
    Place sweet hot mustard in a bowl. Whisk in Tamari sauce. Add stock and sesame oil to the broth and soy. Set aside.

    Slice the pork chop very thinly against the grain.

    When water for pasta boils, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium high to high heat. To the skillet, add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, 2 turns of the pan in a slow stream. Add crushed pepper flakes to the oil, then the thinly sliced pork. Season pork with salt and pepper. Cook pork 2 minutes to caramelize the meat, then turn and stir-fry. Add salt to pasta water, then carrots. Blanch carrots for a minute, then remove with a slotted spoon. Add fresh linguini to boiling water. Transfer carrots to pork stir-fry. 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. Pour Tamari and broth mixture over the noodles and pork. Toss and allow the noodles to completely soak up the liquids, a minute or so. Remove from heat.

It looks yucky and mooshy, but it's good. Put about 1 tsp of this on 1/2 wonton wrapper (near the tofu in the supermarket) fold over and bind with egg wash. Let sit about 5 minutes.

    In a frying pan bring about 2" chicken stock in a frying pan to a simmer. Add the dumplings and let cook covered for about 10 minutes. When the stock is almost gone add about 2 tbsp. clear oil. Let brown on the bottom.|||I promise this is the easiest/tastiest recipe ever!

Any Chinese restaurant owners out there that have a perfect recipe?|||It sounds like you just take a fried rice recipe and make it all up without the egg.

    6 oz. cooked diced chicken
    1/4 c. low sodium chicken broth or bouillon
    1 1/2 tbsp. low sodium teriyaki sauce
    1 tsp. grated fresh ginger root
    Pinch white pepper
    2 tsp. vegetable oil
    1/2 c. diced onion
    1/2 c. shredded carrot
    1 1/2 c. cooked white rice
    1/2 c. frozen peas

    In small bowl, combine chicken, 2 tablespoon water, chicken broth, teriyaki sauce, ginger and pepper. Set aside. In large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil. Stir in rice and peas. Cook until rice begins to brown. Add chicken mixture. Cook 5 minutes longer until heated through. 4 servings.|||Just omit the eggs---

    INGREDIENTS
    1/2 tablespoon sesame oil
    1 onion
    1 1/2 pounds cooked, cubed chicken meat
    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
    2 eggs
    1/3 cup soy sauce

    DIRECTIONS
    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and saute until soft, then add chicken and 2 tablespoons soy sauce and stir-fry for 5 to 6 minutes.
    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.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_L3RE-NVj鈥?/a>

    also make sure to use rice that is a day old stored in the fridge (day old rice is drier, so your fried rice doesn't become mushy)

    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.

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.

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...


    another thing.. Japanese food tends to treat the stomach better than most... even raw fish has less chance of feeling meal regret than itallian or mexican...|||Indian or Ethiopian.

    I'm ordering Sesame chicken with pork fried rice and I was wondering how unhealthy are the typical dishes that people order?|||Chinese takeout is just as healthy or unhealthy as any American, Italian food because it's not the type of cuisine that matters, it's what you order that makes the difference. Sesame chicken is battered chicken deep fried and slathered with a sauce that's sweet and sour, basically the same with any chicken burger in which the chicken is deep fried and the burger comes with mayonnaise or ketchup, the Italians will add cheese on top of everything. There are many healthy choices when ordering Chinese take-out, stir fried chicken or beef with vegetables, mushroom with steam rice will cut the calories in half. It's you yourself who can make your meal healthy, not the type of food itself.

    also does anyone know any good recipes for it.|||it's oyster sauce and its easier to buy it than make it. you can find it at any grocery store|||If it's a brown colored sauce, most likely it's just soy sauce, with a little sugar and cornstarch.

    Saute the chicken with garlic, add the broccoli, add 1/4 cup water, 1/8 cup soy sauce (more if you want it more salty), and 1/2 tbsp sugar. Cover and cook about 8 minutes, longer if you want the broccoli less crunchy. Then in a bowl combine 1 teaspoon cornstarch with 1 to 2 tablespoons cold water. Mix until cornstarch is dissolved. Add to your stir fry mixture and this will thicken the sauce.|||It's some soy sauce based sauce.

    * 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.

    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!

  • bbq
  • 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.

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.

    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.

    Servings: Makes 6 servings.

    Ingredients:
    3 cups water

    Preparation:
    Bring water to boil in small saucepan.

    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.

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?

    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.

    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

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.

  • 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.

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'm just curious, I'm not planning to open a Chinese take out place or anything...|||I get it when I'm really busy with schoolwork. Sometimes, I order enough food for a week. I guess about twice a month.|||once a month|||all the time thats the way to go in my case get it for my girlfried and i and watch a movie thats always good its a great idea if you were to open a chinese take out place|||never i hate chinesse yucky|||i think my fam averages about 2 times/ month. its really hard to say. we haven't had it lately but there have been times we have it a couple times in one week!|||once every 2 of 3 months|||We have cut back at my request. 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.

Easy.|||I really dont know why they give you white rice, you can try to stir fry it with some veggies maybe, or just put it on the table for looks|||Make rice pudding as a dessert!|||No.|||Make rice pudding or a cold rice salad with mayo and diced veg.|||When I have leftover rice, I stir fry it with eggs, red pepper, garlic salt, green pepper and onion.
    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.

    My friend and i are planning on setting up a chinese take out restaurant. We really do not have money to pay a consultant to do this for us. We will appreciate any information and advise. We need advise on the business generally how best to go about it, utensils to use and menus.|||Premises will be the major start up expense associated with a Chinese restaurant. 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.)

    A friend and I are discussing chinese take out while we are eating beef & broccoli we just picked up.

    Our question is this...what makes the beef chinese food stores use so tender?

    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. He said something like, "Many people ask me how I get the beef so tender. I tell them special Chinese cow. But no, just kidding, it's marinated."|||Cats.

    Bwwhhhahahaha.|||Perhaps it is tenderized with a meat mallet.|||They marinate it in in lime Soda! like seven up, or sprite. the other day I was watching food network, and they were making this dish called bibimbop, and bulgogi, and the woman said that asian chefs (her family as well) marinate meat in lime sodas, and therefore tenderizing the meat. I thought this was different, but pretty neat. Check out this link, http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/鈥?/a> They have the recipe online. It shows the marinade. Good luck. Hope this helps|||the marinade for the beef contains baking soda, which chemically breaks down the proteins and gives the meat a tender texture|||It is tenderized, i.e. beaten with a mallet with many points. It breaks down the texture of the meat and makes it very tender. Even the cheapest cuts of meat can be tenderized in the manner! It is usually marinated as well, this help to break it down as well!|||they marinated the meat with tenderizer
