For a lot of us, Chinese food is a guilty pleasure.
We may have the our favorite Chinese greasy spoon on speed dial, but we probably don’t want to talk about it in the gym.
We order takeout so no will see us gorging ourselves on General Tso’s through the restaurant window.
We may even be “good” and save it for our cheat meals but can’t help but putting down so many calories in one sitting.
Well…
What if I told you it’s possible to eat Chinese food on a regular basis without all the guilt?
It is. Just look at these 20 Chinese food recipes for proof.
All the classics are here—spicy Sichuan pork, fried rice, beef and broccoli stir fry, potstickers, fried tofu, chicken with chilies, soba noodle salad, Kung Pao shrimp, and so on.
But in each case, these recipes have been given a healthier twist—from cutting back on fat (and grease) to shave off calories, reducing sugar, and adding in extra nutrient-rich ingredients.
And don’t worry–these recipes are so satisfying, you just might delete that speed dial entry once and for all.
Enjoy!
If you love dumplings, skip dim sum at a restaurant and learn how to make your own.
The dough for the potsticker wrappers couldn’t be easier – just flour, water, and a pinch of salt. Roll it into little balls, and flatten so they’re ready to stuff with whatever filling you love.
Or skip that step, and use premade potsticker wrappers so all you have to focus on cooking is the pork and cabbage filling. That’s just some chopping for the cabbage, or quickly shredding it in a food processor, and then browning the meat.
Rather than using ground pork, the filling can have chopped shrimp instead, which will cook through when the dumplings are steamed.

Get the RecipeEveryone who loves spicy food should be familiar with kung pao chicken. While best known as popular Chinese takeout, the flavors of kung pao evolved in the Sichuan province of China, known for its red chili peppers and peppercorns.
The name might throw you off, but Sichuan peppercorns are not related to black pepper and instead have a mild heat similar to chilies. What really sets them apart as an ingredient is the mouth-numbing property, which is thought to help enjoy spiciness without sacrificing flavor.

Some popular pre-workouts are all-natural. Some contain the right mix of high-quality ingredients. Some provide clinically effective doses. But only Pulse checks each of these boxes.
Pulse doesn’t just “contain natural ingredients''—every ingredient is naturally sourced from plants and animals. Pulse contains no artificial or synthetic substances of any kind.
Every serving of Pulse contains 15.1 grams of active ingredients that have been shown to be safe and effective in peer-reviewed scientific research.
Every active ingredient in Pulse is backed by published scientific studies that show benefits in healthy humans.
Pulse contains no harsh stimulants that wind you up and burn you out. Instead, it contains a 1:1 ratio of caffeine and L-theanine, which produces a smooth energy rush and comfortable comedown.
We carefully examined 508 pages of scientific research to find out exactly what should and shouldn’t be in a pre-workout supplement.
Every bottle of Pulse is guaranteed to provide exactly what the label claims and nothing else—no heavy metals, microbes, allergens, or other contaminants.
While these types of chemicals may not be as dangerous as some people claim, studies suggest that regular consumption of them may indeed be harmful to our health. And that’s why we don’t put any of them into our products.
Before you buy a sports supplement, you should know that it's clean, safe, and transparent. And that's exactly what Labdoor's third-party testing and certification means.
