Tips for Eating Chinese Food provided by the American Heart Association



Chinese food is one of America's most popular and healthy ethnic cuisines. Just ask the cook to use less oil when preparing stir-fry and other dishes and to leave out soy sauce, MSG and salt. Main dish portions are often quite large, so try ordering fewer entrees than you have dinner companions. Then divide and devour!



Tips: Choose entrees with lots of vegetables - chop suey with steamed rice is an example. Substitute chicken for duck, when possible. Skip the crispy fried noodles on the table.



Instead of...



Egg drop soup try Wonton or hot-and-sour soup



Egg rolls or fried wontons try Steamed dumplings



Fried entrees try Boiled, broiled, steamed or lightly stir-fried entrees



Dishes with fried meats try Dishes with lots of vegetables



Dishes with cashews and peanuts (not a problem if you're not overweight) try Dishes with water chestnuts



Fried rice try Steamed rice



Lobster sauce (egg yolks); oyster, bean and soy sauce try Sweet and sour sauce, plum or duck sauce (high sodium)

When I did weight watchers they said that Char Siu Pork was relatively alright with plain rice and stir fry veg. No evil greasy prawn crackers!What is a healthy option on the chinese menu ?
Stir fried vegetables with plain rice.
Stir fried vegetables with plain rice.
I always go for Beef %26amp; Broccoli w/ Steamed Rice.

Stay away from the Crab Rangoons.



Oh, and watch your portions.
Broccoli beef and rice

Spicy egg plant %26amp; pork with rice
Any kind of chow mein is your best option?
