man, I love general tso's chicken. since i want to live forever, i better stop eating it. wait...what? i'm gonna die anyway? sweet...pass the general tso's!
Have you ever tried General Tso Beef? I know they have it here in Brownsville...DAMN ITS GOOD!!! I think I know what I'm having for lunch or dinner!!!
i can't give up my rice. it's my ONE vice. i'm not ready to make nice. i used to have lice. i hate playing dice. i love snakes eating mice. i used to like bo bice. i've twisted my ankle thrice. hit a homer twice. i drink my tea with ice.
Real chinese food can be pretty good for you. Americanized take-out is the stuff that is deadly...that should be pretty obvious.
LOL. But it shouldn't take a "nutrition director" to figure out General Tso's is bad for you, other than sauce, it's no different than ordering a bucket of chicken at Popeyes. General Tso's is amazing though.
And the stuff that tastes the best. I love these studies. They're basically telling us not to eat Chinese take out every night. Wow, thanks for that.
I remember watching a documentary on the Chinese workers on the railroads, and it talked about how much healthier they were than the american workers because of their diet. lots of veggies
"chinese food?" not really... the somewhat chinese-flavored american food served in this country (most "take-out" places) sucks. i prefer vietnamese and thai food anyway.
My wife used to work in a takeout place. She has warned me several times to NEVER EVER order General Tsos. She says its the most disgusting thing a takeout place offers because it gets fried about 4 or 5 times. on a complete random sidenote. I once worked with this Spanish guy who loved Beef and Brocoli...without the broccoli.
Uh huh. Here come the Asian food snobs. Right on schedule. I like the chinese-flavored American food. Especially the real greasy kind served in the mall.
same here. rice is rice people. i can;t stand these fancy pansy restaurants who think that just by adding pineapple to fried rice and using salt instea dof soy sauce, they can charge 8 bux for something that a Chinese takeout place will charge only 4 bux for.
My dad owns a resteraunt who serves General Tso's and it definitely gets fried more than once, not sure about 4-5 times. But here's how it's done: 1. Dark meat is battered and deep fried in large amounts, then its set aside. 2. When ordered, the chicken goes back into the fryer to reheat and crisp. 3. The chicken then goes into a wok to be stirfried w/ sauce. I've always known how bad it's for you but I still eat it every once in a while. Anything is bad for you if you eat it too much.
Chinese takeout is good, but of course its bad for you, as its not really chinese, but more americanized... I prefer more traditional chinese meals like peking duck...mmmm...dim som...
