What are some healthy chinese recipes?

Question

I am a sucker for Chinese food. I could live off it, only problem is it's the unhealthy kind- Chinese Take Out! I love Lo-mein, pork fried rice, General's Chicken, and Steamed Dumpings to be exact. What are some healthy recipes to satisfy my craving?

Answer 1

define healthy...Most of the ones I know are a complete sodium overload but low in fat and such.

Answer 2

*Fried Rice with Chicken, Ham and Shrimp

2 Bowls Cooked Rice (preferably not freshly cooked)

1 tsp Sesame Oil

Dash of Pepper

1/2 tsp Salt

2 Tbsp Light Soy Sauce

2 Eggs, beaten

1 tsp Minced Garlic

100g Frozen Petit Pois (Peas)

100g chopped Chicken, Ham, Shrimps or Crabsticks

Place rice, sesame oil, pepper and salt into a large clean plastic bag.

Mix thoroughly so the rice grains are seperated and the seasoning is distributed evenly.

Microwave the peas on HIGH heat for 2 minutes until cooked.

Heat a small amount of oil in a non-stick wok.

Fry the garlic until fragrant, add the meat and fry until cooked through. Set aside.

Pour beaten egg into the center of the wok and allow to half-set (do not stir).

Add rice, peas, meat and seasoning. Stir to mix.

Serve when rice is heated through.
