I hate that I’m addicted to this shit. It’s objectively slop, just fried meat in variations of sugar sauce with msg smothered carbs on the side. Why does it have to taste so good, be so cheap, and be so filling?
>>22207173I got a cheesesteak eggroll last time I ordered chinese and it was so disappointing. made me realize my parents are like master chefs
>>22207173it is delicious but it is not filling at all. the msg and the velveting they do of all the meat destroys the protein, so yes all the meat has the soft squishy texture of chicken skin but it provides minimal nutrition for what it should bei would punch a baby in the face for some General Gau's right now but
>>22207173>variations of sugar saucesomeone doesn't know about curry chicken, I see
>>22207189or chop suey
>>22207187>velveting lowers protein contentpeak schizoposting hours I seeI guess you think cooking food lowers the protein too? It's the same denaturing process.
>>22207193then why does the meat never fill my stomach it just turns to foam and I púpe it right out :[
>>22207212you have gut issues which are exacerbated by the other junk they put in that poisonous slop
chinese take out food sucks, I used to like it a lot but now it feels like whatever I'm eating is worse than just eating mcdonalds mcnuggets covered in sauce with a bunch of oily riceif you get chinese food from a legit place it's a lot better but it can be harder to find
The good chinese place in my town closed and the other one is bland as hell in comparison. Thank good we still have good teriyaki which also has good general tso's. Gonna miss the fried rice and chow mein, though.
>>22207238whenever you miss a chinese or indian restaurant always remember how absolutely filthy and infested their kitchens are and how abhorrent and reckless their sanitation, hygiene, and food handling practices are, and you will yearn no more
Love me a Chinese feast
>>22207189>>22207191>>22207250(You)r slop looks absolutely disgusting
>>22207173i pretty much only get roast pork and rice from chinese places now, sometimes an entree or something maybe, but not often
>>22207306mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
>>22207191Table
>>22207318man them spare ribs are the bees tits
>>22207240if you care about hygiene, then never eat out anywhere
>>22207457I care about hygiene only enough to draw the line at chinese and indian restaurants
>>22207457or anyone
>>22207173General Tso's chicken is truly the most overstimulating food I eat. You can just roast chicken and rice at home and put sweet chili sauce on it with some vegetables and it will be about half as good.
I can honestly smash some Panda Express every now and then. Of course it's American "Chinese food" but fuck it
>>22207222Yeah chinese restaurants got fucked by inflation and they can’t negotiate down the price like major corporations so they either raise the price which pisses people off, reduce portions, or swapping the ingredients out for cheaper ingredients and hoping no one notices.
>>22207250SUCCULENT
>>22207485hard agree BUT if you really want to go all out or whatever, cover the chicken (use chicken thigh) in corn starch and then deep fry it. saute veggies, add sauce, garlic/ginger and msg. do this part quick so the veggies still have a snap to them. add corn starch slurry to thicken. add fried chicken, stir, serve with a side of jasmine rice.
>>22207495i never eat the stuff but my gf got it one time, she got Cantonese beef. it was the fucking shit! ive been craving it for about a week now. give it a whirl. it was just straight up beef chunks with some sort of sauce. very tender and very good
love general tso's so FUCKING much
>>22207173This thing was the first thing I seek out when I visited the US. Was not disappointed.
>>22208685dang that looks güd
>>22207173Have you ever tried Korean?
>>22207189grim
Kung pao chicken is my favourite.
>>22208975with or without cashews
"cheap"
>>22208992cheap locations don't serve most of those things. Its always gonna be lemon chicken, sweet & sour chicken, general tso chicken, or basic fried chicken with a side of fried rice.
>>22209011who the fuck are you? you seem so arrogant smug and conceited.

>>22207173there ain't no Chinese food like St. Louis fried rice and St Paul sandwiches from Chinamens
>>22209150>St Paul sandwiches from Chinamensokay now what the fuck is this wonder of the modern world that I have not heard of? I must know more

>>22209172are you gonna make me Do My Own Research™ rather than just talk me through the Chinamens St Paul Sandwich? I would have preferred a QRD and maybe some discussion
love me some cold sesame noodles.
>>22207318is all that food for you alone?
>>22207173>objectivelyCome on now. It has "slop like" qualities but it is definitely not slop. For one, it requires more effort and equipment to prepare than a burrito bowl you get from Chipotle or the frozen food section of your grocery store.
>>22209186He gave you three links that did the research for you, you twerp.
>>22209266istg nobody knows about this appetizer
>>22209396too boring
>>22207173bro same. i made a post on here one time about only wanting to eat general tsos and people told me i was retarded but this shit is more addicting than crack. all i want to eat is fried sugary salty meat and lo mein. i bet you the chinese made it addicting on purpose to get back at the west for the whole opium thing.
>>22209500>addictingBack to school you fucking idiot
>>22209545>too retarded to punctuate his sentencesGlass houses.
>>22209545>addictingnigger what the fuck are you talking about. it is spelled correctly. if you try to correct grammar on the internet you need to be raped to death.
>>22207173We're talking Panda Express right? Does fill me up but I'm not surprised by the lack of nutrition.
>>22209569no faggot. general tso is not addicting. you're just fat and have no impulse control
Reminder Panda Express invented orange chicken
>>22207173What galls me the most is that my favorite place uses woody chicken. But I've tried every place in a reasonable distance from me and they are the only ones who get the spices and flavor right but man it's like chewing a scrub brush. Can't even imagine the hell the chickens they source must go through. I hate woody chicken so much it's unreal. It's not fucking fair, chinese food is a pain in the dick to make at home it's just not reasonable but it's impossible to get it good anywhere else. I've even thought about asking them if I could bring some good chicken and have them make it for me. I know they probably can't for legal reasons but it really galls me.
>>22207173I miss my hotel Chinese feasts.
>>22212590food looks like shit
>>22212590
>>22207173Sorry, I don't partake of Gweislop
>>22207250Bosh
>>22209011Truth. There are 3 distinct Chinese styles. Buffet slop, which is most of the thread. Americanized but proper Chinese, which is closer to >>22208992 and actual Chinese food. It's no different than Mexican food which is mostly TexMex in the states vs actual Mexican food. That middle area of Americanized Chinese is expensive these days.
>>22209894you have to be 18 to post here. OP's post calls it addicting. im agreeing with OP and you're chimping out like the less than human nigger you are. kill yourself.
>>22215038It's not addicting, so you must not know the definition of addicting, therefore ESL
