It Is High Time For Some Chinese Food

Tomorrow is treat night. I have been doing well since I have been back at home with my salt restriction, and I LOVE Chinese food, and so does the wife. So, tomorrow night for dinner we are ordering out for Chinese. Two orders of chicken teriyaki on a stick, 8 crab Rangoon, I will have a beef pepper steak combo with beef pepper steak, pork fried rice, and two egg rolls, and the wifey will have General Tso's chicken with two egg rolls and pork fried rice. I will also order a quart of shrimp fried rice. HERE COMES THE SALT! Every time we order up Chinese it's like $60. But you only live once, and we are due. The last time we had Chinese was in October of last year, so I think I am okay with it. It used to be a once a month kind of a thing. But since my salt restriction I spread it out a bit more. Now...to decide when I can go for a salt lick pizza!

Chinese food is the best, when we get the chance we go to hibachi grill in Springfield, it's the best. I really hope you enjoy your Chinese food!

I get Chinese from a place called China King in Belleville, and it is genuine and good. I never order from another place. Theirs is the best around here.

@hillhjill Once we find a place, we stick to it. This place is good, and so this is the place we always order from.

A salt restriction would be impossible for me! All the power to you!

A salt restriction is impossible for ME. But it is what it is. I do the best I can with it.

I love Chinese food and could eat it every day but of course, I cannot afford to do that. You just got me hungry for some. Probably will order on Saturday. Hope you enjoy your food. The best thing about Chinese is that I never have to use added salt I just use a bit of soy sauce.

I have been avoiding the added soy sauce BECAUSE of the salt. But I could eat Chinese every day as well. My wife and I still make it a point to get Chinese at least once a month.

We still have it about once every one or two months. We stagger it more now due to my salt restriction. But I LOVE IT.

It was DELICIOUS, and worth EVERY dollar and milligram of salt.

I am not a fan of tofu at all. But I do love chicken on a stick, beef pepper steak or beef broccoli, shrimp fried rice, crab Rangoon, and so much else.

It must get pretty tricky trying to work out what you can have.

When it comes to Chinese I just order what I want, and go easy the rest of the week. I will not compromise on my Chinese food.

I have to say, you have to treat yourself sometimes. I think you are doing great on the low salt diet.

We had Chinese delivery on New Year's Day. I think the last time we had it before that was in the summer. It used to be a regular thing for us too but now it is only once or twice a year. . . at least at home. I suspect my husband has it for lunch fairly often.

Wow! I havent' had Chinese in awhile, but I have had Japanese. When I do chinese it's just sesame chicken and rice. I can usually never finish the whole thing and forget about leftovers, it's way too dry to try to reheat. Happy Eating though and enjoy yourself. Have you guys thought about trying to make some of your favorites? That way you control the salt intake, the ingredients etc.

@porwest I also like Chinese food but I will wait to my birthday. A friend and I go out to eat at this food court and they have either Chinese or Japanese food and I usually like to get it.
