Yes, I've eat General Gao's Chicken for breakfast. Chinese food is probably my strongest kryptonite. I'd eat chinese food for every meal everyday if I could afford it.
What kingofsnake said: some chinese food is good for you; stirfried vegies, for example. But the deep-fried, richly-sauced stuff is calorie central. On average, Vietnamese food is probably a better choice.
Yah, stir fry is a regular part of my diet. I use olive oil and a little seseme oil for flavoring instead of canola. I also use a short-grain white rice thats really sticky and yummy. Sauce is usually heavy on the ginger and the soy, maybe with something spicey thown in.
But like I said to rebound, theres a big difference between asian cuisine and chinese food. I have stirfry as part of my diet, because it is healthy. But it's not the same as eating american chinese food, and that's what I really love
My family like to make stir-fry. We use small amounts of canola and/or sesame oil and fry it with that and some for of sauce, like chinese five spice. I also like duck sauce(has no ducks in it) and Hoisin sauce. I'm vegetarian, so stir-fry dinners are always pretty good for me. Oils aren't that unhealthy, depending on the kind and how much you use. You don't have to drench it like some restaurants do. You can also fry it a little, then get some soy sauce(or whatever) in water in the lid of a saucepan and cover the pan so it steams. That way it will be less crunchy, but you can use less oil. You could totally steam it, but IMO it works best in conjunction with frying. Depending on what you fry you have to be pay more attention to it, stir it more. Delicate things like tofu go in last. Sometimes i cook dinner for my chores, and whenever i do i try to cook something weird. A good use for japanese soba noodles IMO is to boil them, chill them, and dip them in a sweet-spicy sauce or something salty.
They eat a lot of stuff like this in japan, maybe that' why they're so thin. I mean, think about, red bean paste and rice for BREAKFAST?
I say 'Americanese' food because it's not really chinese, it's mostly catering to american tastes. You gotta find somewhere authentic. Like the Japanese food in "ICHIBAN"(means:first) restaurant in florida.

You can make healthy chinese food. I actually lost a lot of weight that way. Just use lean meat and chicken and avoid the oil.
