My family have been eating chinese food since i was 14, so around 30 years, that and Greek food is my favorite .

I know, purchase all the time from Asian shops but cook it my way, less way less fat and MSG.

Fried rice if done properly includes slices of roast port cooked roasted in plum style sauce or Hoisin, bits of chicken, lots of oil, eggs, peas and the taste is mmmm... But, the oil and eggs are welll very fattening.

Most of the food granted is "wok fried" but there is a fair wack of oil that goes into that.

You can do fried rice at home, with all of those ingredients but spray the pan with oil instead of saturating it, forgoe the pork and only use 1 egg. The rice needs to be cooked or should be cooked 24 hrs before and left in the fridge, over night. I add a touch of chicken stock to mine.

Also i don't know if you have Asian shops over there but i purchase beef yearling and slice thinly down on the meat. It takes seconds to cook, still don't need much oil and chose the satay sauces etc that are lower in fat to mix in. What i found interesting is that from 1 piece of meat i would end up with 6 meals of it for 2, by the time i sliced away....

Seafood is obviously lower in fat, so chilly dishes with tomato bases are not fattening bar, the oil they use.

It's mainly the sauces they are extremely tasty because they are extremely fattening, except soy of course.....
