Of course it is, that is true Chinese cuisine. There is very little meat, be it beef, pork, chicken, or seafood, in most true Chinese dishes. The huge (by Chinese standards) amounts of meat in dishes one gets in American Chinese restaurants are an Americanization of the cuisine.
well considering i am paying $10 per entree, i would prefer to have more meat than vegetables. authentic or not!
xshub was supposed to travel to china for business, he flat out refused to go. i was sure i would have to pack his suitcase full of peanut butter crackers bc he could eat NOTHING there and i wouldn’t blame him in the slightest. i wouldn’t touch chinese food in china with a 10 foot pole, i don’t care how AUTHENTIC it is.
Yep! I love Bostons Chinatown, went there with my coworker who grew up in Hong Kong, he always ordered, and meat was atypical, and it was for flavor, not volume.
My dad spent a lot of time in Southeast Asia, and loved to learn how to cook new stuff there. Unless he just signed a new contract and bought a roast beef, we had asian food about half the time or better. Very little meat. very little sauce. Veggies and rice. Man, could that goofy old fart cook! I miss his cooking.
My mom made a killer Kraft Macaroni & Cheese. :)
