Chinese dishes can be balanced

Eating at a Chinese restaurant does not necessarily mean a meal that is too fatty or excessive in sauce. It is all a matter of choice.

Expert confirms balanced options

Dietitian Vanessa Bedjaï-Haddad confirms that certain typical Chinese dishes can combine pleasure and balance, with a good balance between proteins, fibers and lipids, a moderate salt content and a digestible cooking method.

Recommended dishes for balance

According to Vanessa Bedjaï-Haddad, these 6 dishes should be prioritized to maintain a balanced plate.

Steamed fish with ginger and soy sauce

The ginger and light soy sauce steamed fish is rich in lean proteins, with a cooking method that does not use fats and a delicate flavor without excess salt.

Chicken with stir-fried vegetables

The chicken with stir-fried vegetables, for example, chicken-broccoli, mushrooms or snap peas, is a good source of lean proteins, fibers and vitamins, while noting that it is preferable to order it with little sauce, or with the sauce on the side.

Shrimp stir-fried with ginger and garlic

The shrimp stir-fried with ginger and garlic is also recommended.
