Answers:
Stir-fry the veggies with non-stick spray instead of butter or oil!. also, look in the Asian section of the grocery store and find a stir fry mix!. Most don't have a lot of calories!. I don't know the brand name but there is one that is ginger and garlic!. It's very low and sugar and tastes great!. also, make sure to use lean means and stay away from rice and stick with the veggies and meat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Light soy sauce for regular soy sauce is the no brainer!. also, steaming your veggies with water instead of using vegetable oil will take 100 calories per serving away right off the bat!. Keep in mind it's not really the calories that matter, it's the type of food!. If you're eating a lot of steamed veggies with proteins, you're eating well and there isn't much of a need to trim off the 100 calories!. The vegetable oil will significantly effect the taste in a positive way, in my opinion!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Use half the oil, switch the oil to olive oil!. Switch the soya to half salted version!. Do not tempura anything, lot of the dishes that require wok cooking or deep frying can be steamed or sauteed in a non-stick pan without fat!. Leave out any of the sauces required, or use very little of them, lots of sugar in plum sauce, tamari, hoisin!. Flavour with garlic, ginger, green onion instead!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

-- stirfry veges with olive oil instead of lard!.!. thats the FATTIEST oil ever!.!.!.

-- use loads of asian greens and season them with soy sauce and oyster sauce instead of salt!. u get the flavour plus salt (dont add more salt unless u want heart disease)

-- dont use sugar, use honey to sweeten stuff

-- a lot of chinese fod involves steaming!. it's very healthy and tastes really yummy!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

My advice is to stick to steaming dishes and stir frying dishes with lesser oil during the cooking processes and avoid the deep frying dishes!

Do not eat Chinese dim sum because they usually contains lot of calories!Www@FoodAQ@Com
