Or perhaps Asian food in general: What the hell do they put in it to make it all taste so sweet? And is that really as bad for the teeth as it feels?
Aside from sweet and sour dishes, I don't recall many asian foods being all that sweet.
Maybe he means sweet as in awesome......
Yet another thread decrypting the first poster's straight forwarding wording!

puuu puuuu plattah~@!$
MSG?
It does some weird things to the taste of things that get fried.
It's fkn disgusting in its raw form when I'm having to mix it into flour to bread up with chicken.
Dip raw chicken in a mixture of beer, flour and egg yolk and fry it. Food.
I was gonna make a Chinese Food thread but then I noticed that there was one already. =)
Yes, however - Westernized Chinese food is not quite the same as the real thing. Westernized stuff has a quite lot of sugar in it.
The six tenets of real Chinese cooking are: OIL, BIG FIRE, MORE OIL, REALLY BIG FIRE, SESAME OIL, and MSG.
Oh, and don't forget the REALLY BIG FAN, if you're cooking at home. Those wimpy fans they have in American homes? Won't do.

That giant wok burner in the middle looks impressive. Manly, even.
Some Chinese recipes do have sugar added to them, though not all do. General Tso's Chicken has lots of sugar added to the sauce, for instance. But not all do.
I like to stir-fry pork Szechwan style at home with sesame oil, those little red peppers, onions, carrots, broccoli, celery, peanuts, and soy sauce. It's very good over rice. You can also do this with beef or chicken. It's tasty. ♡

That sounds awesome but way too complicated for me. :(
It's simpler and easier than it sounds. Cut up the meat and put it in and stir-fry it until it's brown all the way around, then put in the onions and let the onions and meat cook covered ten or twenty minutes, then add everything else.

Fun fact: The real-life General Tso won some of his greatest battles while suffering from dysentary.
I work up in the suburbs and I got the lady at the local Chinese food place to make "real" General Tso's after 3 years of patronage. Real being around 30% less sugar and 150% spicer. VIP quality indeed.
You mean like sweet and sour sauce? It's the rice vinegar. Try it;pinapple juice and rice vinegar. I'm pretty sure that's the flavor you're getting at. Add a little bit of green peppers too, like at a 1/50 ratio to other flavors. cut into tiny bits and cooked until they turn to mush and release all their flavor. that'll REALLY make it taste all asian.
