I always just fry up veggies with water instead of oil, but you would have to make sure that you drain them before you add anything to them. Cauliflower is a nice alternative to rice, and it's also a good idea to have your sauce on the side, instead of mixing it within your veggies, that way you have a better idea of how much you are using.0

Chinese food can be very healthy. Just incorporate lean meats and plenty of veggies. Also, make you own sauces rather than using botted - waaayyy fewer calories that way.0

Remember when you are stir frying or sautéing anything to measure out just a small amount of oil. When you dump oil in the pan right from its original container, you often use a lot more than is really necessary.
I usually use coconut oil for almost everything because I looooove it (and rumor has it it's pretty good for you, too) but I also use olive oil. A few days ago I needed to sauté up about 4 cups of onions, plus a little garlic, as the beginning of a soup I was making. I decided to start with just a little oil and add as necessary. So, I started with just one teaspoon (a mere 40 calories worth!) of coconut oil, and.... I didn't even have to add any more!
My experience (with self and friends) is that when pouring oil into a pan, it ends up being at least 1-2 tablespoons in there... when at least in my little example there from earlier this week, that would be 3-6 times more oil than necessary.
Sorry this is somewhat off-topic, but I think it's a really important thing to keep in mind when cooking on the stovetop in general, whether Chinese food or otherwise :-) It sure makes the calorie-counting less painful in the end!0 -
