What can you eat at a Chinese restaurant on a diet?
Steamed, stir-fried or braised dishes, avoiding deep-frying and sweet-and-sour sauces. At GiaoGiao the Wellness World selection gathers 10 dishes between 150 and 450 kcal per portion: the lightest are Mixed Vegetables (~150 kcal), Shrimp Dumplings (~200 kcal), Stir-fried Tomato and Eggs (~220 kcal). Calories are approximate and refer to the portion served.
Does Chinese food make you gain weight?
It depends on what you order, not on the cuisine itself. What drives calories up is deep-frying, sweet-and-sour sauces and dishes built on fried rice or noodles. Traditional Chinese cooking methods — steaming, braising, stir-frying with little oil — sit at the opposite end: GiaoGiao's Wellness World selection runs from the 150 kcal of mixed vegetables to the 450 of the most substantial dish.
How many calories are in a Chinese dish?
It varies a lot with the cooking method. In GiaoGiao's Wellness World selection, where dishes are picked among the lightest, it ranges from 150 kcal per portion for mixed vegetables to 450 for rice with tomato and egg. These are approximate values for the portion served: GiaoGiao publishes them dish by dish so they can be compared before ordering.
Can you eat Chinese in the evening without feeling heavy?
Yes, by choosing steamed or stir-fried dishes instead of fried ones. Mixed Vegetables is around 150 kcal per portion, and several chicken, shrimp and vegetable dishes in GiaoGiao's Wellness World selection stay under 350. They can also be ordered for takeaway or delivery from all three restaurants.
Are Chinese dumplings light?
The steamed ones are: at GiaoGiao shrimp dumplings are among the lightest dishes in the Wellness World selection, around 200 kcal per portion. It is the cooking that changes, not the dumpling: steaming needs no oil, pan-frying does. GiaoGiao closes ten varieties by hand every day, steamed, boiled and pan-fried.
How are the dish calories calculated?
They are approximate values, based on the portion served and the usual ingredients of each dish. They are not a laboratory analysis and do not account for preparation differences or customisations at the time of ordering. GiaoGiao publishes them to give a comparable order of magnitude between dishes; for medical needs or allergies, please ask the staff before ordering.
