nutritious junk

yes, but be wary, even "steamed" dishes are usually tossed in lots of grease, its a known trick of the trade because a) it makes the food look pretty and shiny, and b) hate to break it to ya, but fat tastes good, so often if a resuarant has so so quality produce, they mask the taste with grease and butter to add flavor. ask how a dish is prepared and ask for the suace on the side (this will also save you much = sodium overload as well). plain steamed spring rolls and dumplings are good too, but i am not sure thats "chinese". I am terrible at distinguishing the different asian cuisines, i always get confused with thai, korean, chinese, etc. i know they are very different but i just get them all confused. I do know that when i got out for thai, i like to get chicken satay with the peanut sauce on the side.

If you're in to watching sodium, I suggest eating half the portion that you get at the restaurant.

This is from the Nutrition Action Letter. Healthy options of course include veggies! (Yay veggies!)

I always think its a good idea to only eat half at any restaurant. Portions are so huge these days and the calories in entrees are ridiculous! Thanks seagoer, for the link!
