Where is the Best Chinese Food In America?

Monday, January 26th, 2009

Does not include South America, Central America, or Canada.

The requirements are as follows:

  1. Must be cooked when you order.
  2. Must use fresh ingredients.
  3. Must not use fried rice that has been sitting or mass produced.
  4. Must be clean!

So basically, I want Chinese food that isn’t as rich as a high class Chinese place, the General Tso, must not be too rich. I don’t want to pay more than 20 USD for it.

I think the problem with eateries is that they become bored with keeping cleanliness, which means that after a few years, you get things like corners which are dirty, floors which are dirty, and cockroaches. Well, I used to think it was the “authentic” experience, but after a while, I began to realize that really, really good Chinese food was out there.

I think I might have to break down and learn how to cook with a wok and create the sauces myself. It would just be time consuming, I don’t think it is possible to become a chef overnight, so it means many failed attempts and wasted money. I think I’m going to start “simple” and learn how to make fried rice. If I can get that down, then I can learn how to fry (or bake) pork and work my way up to dishes more complex with fried chicken.

Well, I might be better off with a home fryer, since it will cook all the way through and chicken is more difficult for me to cook, since I had a bad experience with what would have been undercooked chicken (which would have been bad, if it had been eaten). I’m a little wary of it, so I’ll more or less be more likely to overcook it, but I’ll rather have burnt chicken than chicken with blood gashing out.
