Chinese food has gotten a bad rap in the press for its high levels of fat. American Chinese restaurants often use deep-frying, excessive amounts of meat, and plenty of oil to prepare their dishes. Compestine shows readers a more traditional way to cook Chinese--one that reduces the amount of fat yet retains all the flavor of the best dishes. 130+ recipes. 90 illustrations.
