The Melting Pot
CHINESE
When ordering Chinese Food....
You don't have to be left out! Just follow a few simple rules...
- Opt for dishes with high quantities of vegetables.
- Get steamed, brown rice when available instead of fried rice.
- Reduce your sodium intake on a day that you know you are going to order Chinese food, because it is generally very high in sodium.
- Avoid fried meats, such as Kung Pao and General Tso's.
- Avoid egg rolls.
- Request that your dishes be made with a reduced amount of oil (or none at all), that your vegetables are steamed or raw, and that the dishes are light on sauces.
- Stay away from dishes with peanuts and cashews.
- Ask for no MSG if possible!
