Healthy Options at Asian Restaurants:

Too tired to cook? Asian food is some of the healthiest (and most delicious!) food on the planet. Unfortunately, many of the dishes we know and love are Americanized - and more fattening - versions of traditional Asian cuisine. To help you make the best choices when eating at Asian establishments, check out these recommendations before you grab those chopsticks!

Chinese

The best rule of thumb is to choose a dish that isn’t breaded and deep-fried (goodbye egg rolls!). Avoid rice and noodles and steer clear of sugary sauces like sweet and sour. Opt for kung pao chicken (go light on the peanuts), beef and broccoli dishes, shrimp and snow peas, garlic chicken, Mongolian beef steak, or dishes that have meat and a vegetable. Ask for the chef to go easy on the oil.

Thai

Any of the satay dishes (chicken, shrimp, beef, or tofu), any protein or vegetable stir-fry, steamed fish, chicken or beef lettuce rolls are delicious and nutritious! Avoid fatty coconut milk curries, noodles, and rice.

Sushi

Stick to sashimi. Order your favorite rolls as hand rolls with no rice. You can do this with almost any roll.

Indian

Best bets include chicken, lamb, beef, or shrimp tikka (grilled marinated meat skewers); any of the veggie dishes such as bhagan bharta (whipped eggplant), saag paneer (spinach with cheese), aloo gobi (marinated steamed cauliflower), vegetable jalfrezi (mixed vegetables). Avoid curries, rice, and naan bread.
