 Expat
Tips |
|
| |
| Chinese food has so much oil and saturated
fats and many of my friends don't realize how unhealthy
they are eating here. However, it is ok to ask for your
food NOT to be cooked in so much fat. Instead, ask the
waiter to have the cook "chow" or fry the
food in vinegar or a little bit of soup. Then you can
eliminate lots of fat in your diet and lower your cholesterol.
Chinese food can be very healthy, but it's the fat heaped
on top during much of the cooking process that hurts
the health of people.
