table> Back when I used to live in NY, we used to order a quart of chicken and broccoli, and a quart of fried rice. I’d take it back home and dole it out among the children, and you could feed everyone for ~$12. Now that I live in Austin, while there are perfectly pleasant chinese food restaurants on practically every corner, when I ask for a quart of something, they have absolutely no idea what I’m talking about. They only seem to want to let you order single servings of food, and buying five individual servings can cost quite a bit! Even during the cheapest lunch specials. To summarize, are there any (authentic) chinese food restaurants near the 78745 area that allow you to purchase in bulk? On a related note, I’m not a transplant from NY, I’m born and raised Austin. I just spend a lot of time up there visiting my father’s side of the family. I’m not sure why, but I just felt that needed to be said!

table> I have never been to a Chinese restaurant in NYC or Austin that had quart-sized portions. I have been to Asian grocery stores like Ranch 99 that have delis where you can fill up a container of food. I don’t think there are any of those in Austin though.

table> I think what he is saying is that the restaurants he is going to give you a single meal vs. selling it to you family style. I would think that most restaurants serve family style. I dont know of any that would serve you a single meal. edit ok I reread the post. If you are going at lunch then yes you will get a single person plate. Instead, order from the dinner menu and you will be fine. Also we always still allot one dish per person which usually ends up with 2-3x too much food.

table> I don’t know about Chinese food, but you can get quarts of BBQ at places like Rudy’s and Salt Lick and quarts of Cajun food at places like Stuffed in North Austin (best Cajun food ever). Maybe try to blend in “Austin style” and go for these bulk items?

table> Entrees always seem to come in large quantities at the Chinese restaurants in town. No one refers to them as “quart” size though. One entree typically lasts me 3 meals at least. At many of the places I’ve tried in Austin, lunch portions are usually smaller (but I still wind up with leftovers) and part of a combo meal (with some soup and an eggroll usually). One of my favorite things to do long ago was order two entrees at Asia Cafe (one meat dish and one veggie dish) and then eat the leftovers for the rest of the week.

Every Chinese place in NY offers their food in either pint or quart size. Those plastic/tin trays that are used here are usually reserved for the “chefs specialties.” Since Chinatown Westlake closed I don’t eat Chinese food anymore.

table> OP I would be ordering the Ala Carte items not the meals, those should be about the “quart” size you are referring to. We always order individual items then share. We never get Chinese to go we always eat in, I love Chinese but only when its really hot, fresh with crisp veggies.

I’d take it back home and dole it out among the children, and you could feed everyone for ~$12. I think the $12 for two quarts of prepared anything might be the stumbling block here More like $20, I reckon. Dang, I’m cutting down on rice, but that sure does sound good!

A Ten-Point Checklist: 1. Acquire the Knowledge Necessary to Interpret the Menu and Search for Foods That Are: Served Steamed Jum (poached) Chu (broiled) Kow (roasted) Shu (barbecued) 2. Aim for a meal that has a greater proportion of vegetables to meat, and when ordering them, request that they be stir-fried rather than battered or deep-fried (crispy means fried).

1. There are certain vegetable recipes that do not make the cut for the “good option” category.
2. Because eggplant tends to soak up oil, one serving of eggplant in garlic sauce includes 1000 calories, 13 grams of saturated fat, and 2000 milligrams of salt.
3. Mu shu pork (without pancakes) has quite a few veggies in addition to having a calorie count of 1000 and a salt count of 2600.

A pancake that is 8 inches in diameter contributes around 90 calories, while a pancake that is 6 inches in diameter adds about 60 calories. A better option is chicken mu shu, which has around 5 grams less fat and approximately 200 less calories per dish.3.

Use chopsticks to eat rather than a fork since it slows down the eating process and prevents you from scooping up as much of the sauce or oil as you could with a fork.4. Do not let the fried noodles to get near your table or out of the takeaway bag since one serving of these noodles has around 180 calories, 8 grams of fat, and 420 milligrams of salt.5.

Soup, such as hot and sour, egg drop, or wonton soup, is a wonderful choice for a lower calorie meal (about 100 calories per cup), which can help you feel full; but, soups are typically filled with salt. There are 91 calories, 3 grams of fat, and 876 milligrams of sodium in one cup of hot and sour soup.6.

• Exercise caution while working with syrupy sweet sauces such as sweet and sour.
• Common ingredients include flour, cornstarch, sugar, and corn syrup.
• Sometimes they may include sugar.
• The hoison, oyster, and strong mustard are all excellent options to consider.7.
• Eep in mind that rice has around 200 calories per cup, regardless of whether it is white or brown.

Two glasses are frequently included in a takeaway carton. One cup of chicken fried rice has 329 calories, 11.96 grams of fat, and 598 milligrams of sodium. A cup of basic fried rice, without any additives, provides around 230 calories per cup.8. Reduce your consumption of grilled spare ribs, since four of them might contain close to 600 calories.

There are 148 calories, 9.27 grams of fat, and 447 milligrams of sodium in a half piece of fried shrimp toast.9. Instead of going for the more fatty egg rolls or fried wontons, try some steamed dumplings instead. There are 220 calories, 11 grams of fat, and 412 milligrams of salt in one egg roll. A better option is a spring roll, which has around 100 calories and 300 mg of salt but has a thinner wrapper and a more manageable portion size.

There are 54 calories, 2.52 grams of fat, and 111 milligrams of salt in one meat-filled fried wonton. With only 41 calories, 0.98 grams of fat, and 161 milligrams of salt, a steamed dumpling stuffed with meat, chicken, or shellfish is likely to be the healthiest option.10.

1. How much food are you putting on your plate, particularly if you are eating out of a takeaway container? The amount of food that is placed on your plate in a restaurant or that is sent to you when you place a takeout order is sometimes far more than what would be considered a typical portion size.
2. It’s possible that you’re racking up a lot more calories than you realize.

Bring out your measuring cup the next time you order Chinese takeout so that you may get a general idea of the size of the quantity that you have just heaped on your plate. This will serve as a reference for future ordering. It’s possible that you’ll be astonished.
