Chinese Food

FutureMrsMoyer

Hey ladies,

I am having a procedure done at 5, so I won't be able to cook dinner. Fiance is craving chinese food and I said ok. Any thoughts on what is healthy from take out at a chinese restaurant?

Thanks!!!

anything breaded or with sweet sauce is out... 

i would say chicken or shrimp with steamed veggies is a good option.

I always get the shrimp and scallops with steamed veggies - no sauce. I LOVE it!

Or they have some tofu recipes usually if that's your thing.

anything steamed will do the trick - white rice is eh, but better steamed white than fried, if those are your only choices! feel better :]

I'm sure this is too late, but maybe for next time..... I get steamed chicken and broccoli and then get the sauce on the side.

I get chicken with string bean or broccoli with the sauce on the side.

Sometimes you can request no-msg. I'm not sure if it's a gimmick or not, but I always do.

I love their steamed pork/vegetable dumplings. They are pretty filling and not terribly bad for you.
