[QUOTE="Geocacher, post: 378879, member: 32611"] I never have any problems finding low carb dishes at my local Chinese. They offer salads, meat and veg dishes in oyster sauce or black bean sauce that are not sweet, egg foo young which is a scrambled egg with veggies in it. You should also be able to get steamed fish or chicken in a light wine and ginger marinade, hot & sour soup is always a good choice, roasted smoked chicken, szechuan squid if you like something hot. Avoid the prawn crackers, rice, and noodles but fried seaweed is fine, it's just deep fried cabbage but really tasty and low carb and a nice starter. Check the menu beforehand, you may find you are spoilt for choice, if you aren't then it might be worth trying a more traditional Chinese restaurant. Traditional Chinese foods are much healthier than the typical high street takeaway offerings and you'll usually find the typical takeaway dishes are also on the menu if that's what you wife prefers. Buffets can also be a good choice because you get a wider variety of dishes and can see what you are taking and limit the amount of sauce if you want. My local buffet offers sushi and grilled meats that they make fresh for you, and you can ask for sushi with veg rather than rice or grilled meat without sauce. Alongside the breaded and sweet sauce options they offer braised and stirfried meat and veg that are in savory sauces or dry fried with just a bit of soy, ginger and garlic. Broccoli and beef with just soy and garlic is amazing and about as low carb as you can get. [/QUOTE]
