Surviving chinese cuisine

[We Never Know]

That's Breaking Bad.

Its called a meme. I'm suprised you haven't heard of them.

Good Chinese food is on par with good French food in terms of technique, complexity and so on. One need not “survive” Chinese food. It can be savored and enjoyed. But, I get you had a bad experience. Unfortunate. Follow the advice you’ve been given here.

This site is well over 90% of my internet usage.
But it still stands thats not vegans or fakr eggs, its a cancer patient making meth.

I can't really cook where I am. Microwave yes, stove.... I own a metal cup and feel to unstable job wise to invest into pots and pans. So small boils of food the size of a monkey fist best I can do.

You can probably find them cheap at Goodwill or similar places.

Oh. You were trying to be a party pooper, a killjoy. That makes sense.

Rather be a party pooper than post something miles removed from what it actually is just to take a cheap stab.

You have that beautiful gas range and one crummy pan? If you want to save money get familiar with some decent brands and what makes them good and then go to some thrift stores. Learning to cook is stretches the brain. And saves a ton of money over restaurant costs. My goal used to be as good as restaurants, now I am disappointed if I am only "just as good" .

I can eat three Chinese Dishes. I used to not be able to eat any, because as a child, in San Francisco, my mom brought me to a Chinese restaurant, and the cook gave me a egg roll, and he opened it up and it had a Chinese newspaper baked into it. Then after I refused it, he gave me a purple sea urchin raw and told me to eat up. I cried. I'm still crying.

The pics are what I can eat:

What is closely related? I'm trying to increase my diet to four dishes instead of three. The above is Chinese ribs, mongolian beef, and Seseme Chicken/General Tso's Chicken (a Taiwanese dish from 1979, it is Chinese, or your a separatist, so just accept it).

I'm looking for something similar. Like, when I go to a Vietnamese restaurant, I eat the lemongrass steak or lemongrass chicken. Very similar.

I'm fortunate that I can and will eat pretty much anything that doesn't eat me first. There is a short list of things I won't eat. Nothing still living, or skinned alive, pickled duck embryos in the shell or bird's nest soup. Otherwise, I'm pretty open and often happy that to discover something new and enjoyable.

In China (and some Chinese restaurants), glutamate is just another spice and used liberally. If you're not used to it or have an intolerance it will give you a headache or upset your stomach. That's about the only "dangerous" thing in Chinese food. (And you should stay away from Szechuan food if you can't handle hot spices.)

They took down all their sign boards (think they painted over the stains) , so didn't know what to order.

Clearly, you settled on breaded meat gobs w/syrup and broccoli.
