How Does Chinese Cuisine Contributed To The American Diet?

Chinese Cuisine has infiltrated our cuisine. Take away the obvious egg roll and General Tso Chicken, which are staples of our take out diet, look at the way we cook at home.
Stir frying is a technique not known in the 50’s, now common.
Vegetables like bok choy, spices like ginger, and ra mien noodles are common in our diet.
The use of Corn Starch instead of flour to thicken sauces is a direct influence of asian cuisine

    In terms of contributions, it has nothing less than wrought the bane of the healthy American upon us, with the advent of the all-you-can-eat Chinese Buffet. Most are hardly $5.00 to get in and eating the food on a regular basis is just plain unhealthy: salt and sugar and oil in every recipe.
