Healthy Chinese Recipes and Menus

Enjoy your favorite Chinese recipes guilt-free!

Take-out from your neighborhood Chinese restaurant is certainly quick and easy. But the typical sauces can be sugary-sweet or way too salty, and a lot of options come battered and deep-fried—hardly the most nutritious fare. EatingWell’s healthy Chinese recipes are makeovers of traditional favorites, such as Sweet & Sour Chicken with Brown Rice and Scallop & Shrimp Dumplings. Skip the white rice—instant brown rice is quick and more nutritious—and you’ll have a crowd-pleasing meal ready in no time. Don’t forget the chopsticks!

Many of your recipes are quite appealing. However, you never list sugar content on the list of ingredients. Since I am diabetic, this is very important to me. I hope you will remedy this situation.

I just wanted to say I love Chinese food and I think it is very healthy to eat. And I love the lo mein noodles.

Beth, Srawberry Plains, TN

The recipe's I viewed all had the Carbohydrate listed...for diabetics look under total carbs....that is the key factor...

If you could list the low salt, sugar, etc. on the recipes this would help us to keep only the recipes that are healthy for our own personal use.

What does one do when they can't have 'any' salt? I swell up like a balloon.
