I crave chinese food

yep, I love chinese food, I just had it last nite! We just got sweet an sour chicken, egg rolls and rice last night but we usually get lots more. Healthy or not it is delicious and it doesn't make you feel so full and heavy.

As far as whether it is healthier to eat than other foods, I think it depends on how it is prepared. Unfortunately, most Chinese food available in America is Americanized and not prepared the way it is prepared in China. I know that I can't stand sweet and sour that is available in America, but when I was living in China, the food was a lot different than you can even get in an "authentic" Chinese restaurant. My sister-in-law is from Taiwan and her cooking is a lot better than any restaurant I have been to. Of course, I have also been to places in China where too much oil was used and I didn't consider those foods to be healthy but most foods I ate there were prepared in a healthy manner which is more than I can say for most fast foods in America.

I feel the same way as I love chinese food I really like the Wonton soup it tastes like chicken broth hubby likes the wontons & I like the broth. When ever he says what do you want to eat he then says forget it I already know chinese food

I dun know if they are healthier too. Since you avoid the sodium drenched ones, the deep fried ones tend to be fried in lard which is full of bad cholestorol. I saw on TV a local medical program featured a female patient who has heart attacks more than once. You wouldnt believe it if you see her, she is as skinny as a model. Her doctors advice, for her condition, she has to avoid pork altogether. But besides the pork and the lard, I notice that Chinese dishes has a lot clear soups. That is a plus plus point. In my own culture, dishes contain a lot of oil. If there is a need to saute, we like to use plenty of oil. A minus minus point in my view. On the whole take moderate amount of every foods. That is always safe.

I always get cravings for chinese food too ! I try to eat out like once a week and chinese is usually my choice. I doubt it's healthier than hamburgers and pizza but at least there is a fair amount on vegetables on the side of your order when you get chinese opposed to regular fast food. Even if it's drenched in soy sauce, it's one of my favorite foods :)

Although I share similar cravings for Chinese food, I seriously doubt that it is any bit healthier than hamburgers at all. The high sodium content in Chinese food is enough to make this food highly unhealthy. Despite this, it can certainly be said that this is one of the best types of foods to have leftovers of. It is also something that is a little bit different than the tastes that we are used to. I feel like this may be a big factor as to why we crave this kind of food so much.

I never or rarely get to have Asian food of any kind these days but I can make my own. I use basic ingredients as required and one special ingredient: a pouch of concentrated sauce mix. The brand is Lee Kum Kee. I know we are in different countries but I have a feeling that this company is big enough to be in your country too. The flavours are superb and the closest by a long way to that authentic Asian flavour that I have ever found. The flavours can be used with chicken, pork, lamb, beef and prawns. My favourite is the lemon chicken. If you cannot find the pouches in your supermarket Asian section then look up the web site and try and find who stocks their products. If you can track them down, you will be thrilled with them like I am. Good luck.

Chinese food do taste good. I wonder what could really be the secret to this. Last night my son treated me and my his Dad to a Chinese Restaurant we did enjoy the food as always. I love the sweet and sour fish fillet. I can't really imagine how they could make the sweet and sour combination as perfect as that. Hmmm, my mouth is watering just by mere mention of this. I took picture of that stuff and here I would like to share.

You are quite right.Chinese food really is healthy,because in Chinese dishes meat is usually served with vegetable and the way those dishes are done is quite different,instead of frying and roasting,most Chinese food are stewed or boiled,and they contain lower calorie.
