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.
