[quote=Anonymous]Disclaimer: not Chinese or Chinese American, but based on travels and eating in Chinese heritage households, home cooking is quite simple. Quick stir fry, lightly tossed at high heat so it's rarely greasy but simple dishes with a handful of condiments and seemingly always served with rice. If you pick up Chinese cookbooks you'll quickly see it's not a complicated cuisine. But it was a cuisine that emphasized having different textures and flavors for a balance so the ideal was multiple small dishes comprising a meal. And seafood is very important. If you eat out at restaurants in China, food can definitely be heavier and more "fried" and richer but that seems to be the pattern for restaurant food anywhere in the world. I'll be honest and say the Chinese food I enjoyed the most were the Chinese communities in Bangkok, Malaysia and Singapore rather than the Mainland, although we had an excellent food tour in Shanghai.
