I was wonder if Chineese food is a good meal to have. Such as pork lo mein and porkfried rice. I only ask because i eat a lot of chineese food in the cafeteria at school because it is high in protien. So what do u guys think?
Thanks a million

Fried being the key word. Most Chinese food is bad, bad news. It's just so damn delicious though.

If you must, go for white rice and food that is not fried, such as chicken and broccoli.

I love Chow Mein!

but I agree with IAB, most Chinese food is shit (at least the Americanized crap we have here is), and if you have no choice eat something that's not 'fried'.

ok thanks again guys, however, they do serve white rice. So i place the meat and pepper they make on the rice. I am not sure it is fried. Its like chicken and peppers with some type of soysauce. So what about that combination?

Posted by: Fit Freak

Go for steamed white rice with a vegetable dish...maybe with chicken or something...just avoid anything fried...including vegetable dishes. Some of it is ok but you need to be VERY selective and sometimes request dishes with less salt and oil.

One of my best friends in high school was Chinese, his family opened the first chinese restaurant in town. Interested in his culture, etc. I once asked him if he and his family ate the foods they served on the buffet. His answer was basically "Hell No" with a healthy laugh. From what I understand, the stuff we consider good chinese food is the equivalent of their fast food...or worse. It tastes great, but its full of crap....and small animals. Just ask Kuso.

Well, I never saw any stray cays running around the place, if you know what I mean.

I`m glad someone mentioned that

And DM....the kittens I kill I don`t think you`d wanna eat

The rice used in Chinese food is typically very high GI. Higher than that found in most minute rice variety's...watch the serving size

Posted by: Britney

Chinese food is a NO NO. Opt for brown rice if available and Steamed chicken and brocolli. Your choices are limited. A packed meal is always best....

thanks again for the valuble information i appreciate everything. You guys rock!!

I'm gonna have to go against the grain here.......

Restaurants use sugar, cornstrach, , MSG, leftovers, and the fresh "Kill O' the Day"...the Health Inspector that inspects my store (100% btw)..tells me stories about the Chinese Restaurants in town (sliding across the floor etc)..that I should not repeat here if you ever want to eat out again (I'm sure there are exceptions) So did the guy I use to W/O with who recharged their fire supppression systems, he said you wouldn't believe what he has seen...lol

Anyway....Stirfrys, Curries, Soups...Chinese, Thai, Japanese, Indian, Indonesion....Cajun Indonesian...etc

Can ALL be BB modified by using Coconut oil to fry in, Coconut milk for Curries and as an additives to sauces......fresh veggies and lots of PROTEIN!

Hot and Sour Soup , with a shitload of egg, shrimp, chicken or whatever...only takes minutes for example.......

Saute/stir frying veggies w/meat/fish/shrimp/egg is SO easy...etc

Posted by: I Are Baboon

DP, good advice. However, you usually have little say in exactly how the food gets prepared in a Chinese food joint. And if you DO get too specific with them, they'll probably slip some special surprises in your food.

Posted by: Dr. Pain

There is a major exception...

We know of a few Teppanyaki/Mongolian style grills.....you pick your food, and watch from start to finish.....drawback is..." It's Mystery Meat"

Posted by: I Are Baboon

I have been to places like that before where they cook the food in front of you. Good stuff! Expensive as hell though.

Posted by: DaMayor

Aren't those usually Japanese?

Posted by: Dr. Pain

Kuso may know....my Impression has always been Taiwainese/Japanese

Japanese use more of a flat surface, Chinese, more of an ultra large wok

Posted by: kuso

Mongolian = Mongolia

Teppanyaki = Japan

Can you make sushi w/brown rice?

Posted by: kuso

You probably could, but it would taste very different. Sushi rice is mixed with sugar and vinegar

scratch that idea then

Good idea I think. I believe raw fish is digested extremely quickly too.

Posted by: DaMayor

I agree...sounds like it would be worth a try. You may be able to use a sugar substitute. Or hell, just eat the fish, its the best part anyway!

Posted by: P-funk

They put added sugar in sushi? I have never heard that. Is it just rolled in with the fish and rice?

Posted by: Yanick

I think thats how they make the rice sticky.

Posted by: P-funk

no they make the rice sticky with water and the pack it tight when they roll it. I know you have been to a sushi bar. I have been to many sushi bars and I have never seen them add sugar to a roll?

Posted by: Yanick

no no. My friend makes homemade sushi, and the rice comes sticky. They put water on their hands to keep the rice from sticking to their hands.

Anyone ever try dim sum? Now THAT is some scary shit!!!

Has anyone ever tried eel??

Posted by: kuso

Posted by: kuso

Anyone thats eaten a dim sum has prolly eaten cat

Posted by: Yanick

What's Dim Sum? I can't understand how a food can be scary. I've eaten some pretty wierd shit, but none of it has actually freaked me out or anything, some of it was just nasty.

Posted by: perfecto

isnt it called a dimsim?

I seriously hope not!

dim sum; dem sum

dilute

Dijon mustard

dim sum; dem sum

diples
diplomat pudding
diplomat sauce

Definition: [DIHM SUHM] Cantonese for "heart's delight," dim sum includes a variety of small, mouth-watering dishes such as steamed or fried dumplings, shrimp balls, steamed buns and Chinese pastries. Dim sum--standard fare in tea houses--can be enjoyed any time of the day. Unlike most dining establishments, servers in a dim sum eatery do not take orders, per se. Instead, they walk among the tables with carts or trays of kitchen-fresh food. Diners simply point to the item they want, which is served on small plates or in baskets. Each item usually has a set price. At the end of the meal, the check is tallied by counting the dishes on the table. Some dim sum restaurants add the price of each dish to a check that remains on the table, clearing dishes as they are emptied.

Now what's so scary about that?

Not in china

And I agree Yan.....I`ve eaten some pretty fucked up stuff so I don`t mind that much

Posted by: DaMayor

Cat's really good as long as you call it "heart's delight"....

Posted by: I Are Baboon

Dim sum was scary because I didn't actually know what the hell I was eating! It was some kind of meaty substance rolled up into a ball and stuffed into some kind of leaf.

Posted by: david

We actually have a restaurant called, "Dim sum Buffett" Excuse me while I go puke now!

Posted by: tigress

I like eel, raw fish (sashimi) and sushi. It's all delicious. I have eaten dim sum before, but only at a restaurant where I knew the owner (she knows I don't eat mammals).

However, when I do eat dim sum or sushi, I consider that a cheat meal.

Oi! (eel.... mind you... raw?)

I'll take your word for it that it is delicious, tigress!

Posted by: tigress

No, they cook the eel first. Hey, don't knock it till you have tried it

Posted by: DaMayor

Is it similar to squid? (Calamari)

Posted by: Yanick

Eel is awesome. In sushi, the dragon roll (with eel and caviar and some other crap) is my favorite roll. Fuck, i want sushi so bad.

Posted by: tigress

Originally posted by DaMayor

Not really, squid has more of a firm texture(if it's cooked properly, if not, it's just really rubbery. Eel is much more tender, and it is really good and subtle tasting. I have only had eel in or on sushi, but I get some every time I go. Every few weeks, I have a "sushi attack"that is really difficult to ignore.

Posted by: kuso

Eel and squid are both quite different as T just stated, however they both suck

lol

And incidently....in Japan, they never say a certain part of the female body smells like fish, they say it smells like squid

Not knocking it but not daring to try eel.

I like Calamari (Fried)
