Chinese Food Question?

[Zekeman]

Does anyone know approx how many carbs in Chinese Spare Ribs, minus the sauce? I see they have a red tint to them even without the sauce, which Im assuming might be a coating, or the way they are "fried" in the oil....

Thanks...

Stay away from Chinese food unless you prepare it yourself. Chinese restaurant food is notorious for added sugars of all kinds. The marinades have sugar. The sauces have sugar. Even if you ask them not to add sugar while cooking your food, the sauces are all pre-made or made by doctoring up pre-made "master" sauces.

The red coloring is probably due to the pre-made "barbecue" marinade they used.

BTW, don't freak out and think your Induction is completely ruined and you'll have to start over from scratch. Just use this as a learning experience and carry on with your Induction. As long as you haven't been eating these ribs everyday, you should be fine.

the red tint is a seasoned marinade they soak them in. It does have sugar in it.

*Emma* eats Chinese food, she has mentioned in her journal that she has special relationship with a restaurant and they cook dishes for her with no sugar.

Maybe you could do the same if you talk too them and explain the diet that you are on, they might cook something just for you. If you don't ask them, then you don't know.
