I wish I knew the secret to making good chinese food. Some of the stuff though that I see in the ethnic section of grocery stores doesn't look very appealing to me.

You may want to try Asian sensations found in the local frozen food section. It's like fast food at home. not bad if you don't want to eat out. Also, Walmart carries some different frozen types of chinese/asian for when you want something really quick. I think Birdseye and (someone else) if you don't want to add fresh veggies you can always go this way.

I'll second the Asian Sensations brand. I don't know how authentic they are, but they sure taste good.

Add MSG then fry in vegetable oil, either deep-fried (egg rolls etc) or in a very hot wok (rice, noodles, etc).

You just gotta jump in and try it

Every time I grocery shop I wander down the Asian food isle and pick up something new, usually a sauce of some sort. I don't follow any recipes for my "Asian" cooking, I just randomly mix the ingredients I've found in those isles. I don't know how authentic it is, but it sure is yummy.

Chop and throw these together in a Wok with 3 Tbls. of peanut oil putting the coarsest veggies in first:

Bok Choy
Leek
red,green,yellow,orange bell peppers
celery
carrots
napa cabbage (if you like it)
China peas (snow peas)
bean sprouts
mushrooms (if you like)
squash (if you like)
egg plant chunks
water chestnuts
chunk pineapple

Season with lots Spike, add a little low sodium soy and/or teriyaki
Throw your Asian sensation cream cheese wontons in the oven. Have some rice of your choice. I prefer Uncle Ben's of any flavor. If you want homemade fried rice, just make the rice a day or two before and when you're ready, add eggs, peas whatever makes your mouth water and fry.

I these different Wok pots at least 2-3 times a week. They are so easy and low fat and healthy. they taste good because you only use what you like.
