What should I order from my local chinese restaraunt?!

I think you should order General Tso's chicken if it's available!. But it's deep-fried, and you might not like it because it's unhealthy!.

Erm, is there Chinese Corn Soup there!? I love that!. o;

EDIT: According to Wikipedia, "General Tso's chicken is a sweet and spicy deep-fried chicken dish that is popularly served in American and Canadian Chinese restaurants"!. So yes, there's some spicy taste to it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

One thing I have discovered in many Chinese restaurants is that pork fried rice is the most popular, and included in most combo meals!. For that reason alone, I always order chicken fried rice, or the more expensive shrimp fried rice!. Both of those choices will ensure you of fresh product instead of rice that has been sitting in the steam table for hours!. Fried rice is a very quick dish to prepare in a wok!. It only requires a few ingredients, including steamed rice!. Steamed rice is almost always fresh in any Chinese restaurant!. It is only the most popular dish, Pork fried rice that is mass produced, and tends to be dry and tasteless, most of the time!.

General Tso's chicken is not a spicy dish unless you ask for it that way, or add in your own red chilis!. Try a Szechwan chicken dish if you want spice!. Like Sczechwan Cheng Tu Chicken!. It is made with dried red chili peppers shredded, Ginger, peppercorn powder, hot garlic, and cayenne pepper

Ingredient list for General Tso's Chicken!. Remember to ask for extra spicy

# 1 pound chicken thighs, boneless
# 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
# 1 egg, lightly beaten
# freshly ground black or white pepper, to taste
# Cornstarch, as needed
# Sauce:
# 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
# 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
# 2 teaspoons Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
# 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
# 3 tablespoons chicken broth or water
# 1 tablespoon minced ginger
# 2 teaspoons minced garlic
# 2 teaspoons cornstarch for thickening sauce, optional
# Other:
# 3 green onions (spring onions, scallions)
# 5 to 10 small dried red chilli peppers, according to taste

Probably the closest you will find to Cheng Tu Chicken, is Kung Pao Chicken which includes peanuts, and is quite spicy, but do check around fior the Cheng Tu, it is superior in my mind!. I make the Cheng Tu Chicken myself from The Classic Chinese Cook Book by Mai LeungWww@FoodAQ@Com

General Tsao's chicken is delicious!. And yes it is cooked with red pepper I think, and it's moderately spicy, but also sweet because it has a sweet syrup on it that tastes really good!. There is also orange chicken which tastes very similar to General Tsao's but it's not spicy and it is cooked with a syrup made from orange(hence the name orange chicken)!. also get a big order of House Fried Rice!. It's fried rice with pork, shrimp, and chicken I think!. also, if you haven't tried one, get some egg rolls!. They're good and I've never had a bad one before!. Egg Drop soup is really good too!. It tastes good with those little thin curly cracker things!. But you have to eat it while it's hot!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
