    The issue I have is the amount of Sodium in it.

    My left arm feels like a volcano eruption after Chinese...

    I was addicted to Chinese buffets (going almost daily) for 15 years! Finally kicking the habit.

    This is a make over for that fatty Chinese finger food we all love and you could make them even more healthy with a mix of fat free and low fat cream cheese, not a fan of many fat free foods no fat often equals no taste!
    Baked crab Rangoon
    1 (170 gram) can crabmeat
    8 oz Light Brick Cream Cheese Spread, softened
    2 green onions, thinly sliced
    1/4 cup CANOLA CHOLESTEROL FREE MAYONNAISE
    12 wonton wrappers
    Directions

    Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix crabmeat, cream cheese spread, onions and dressing.
    Spray 12 muffin cups with cooking spray. Gently place 1 won ton wrapper in each cup, allowing edges of wrappers to extend above sides of cups. Fill evenly with crabmeat mixture.
    Bake 18 to 20 min. or until edges are golden brown and filling is heated through. Serve warm. Garnish with chopped green onions, if desired.
    Footnotes

    Make Ahead: For other entertaining ideas, pre-bake won ton wrappers in muffin cups at 350 degrees F for 5 to 8 min. or until golden brown. Remove from muffin cups; cool. Store in airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week. Fill with your favourite filling just before serving.

    Luckily I'm not a fan of Chinese food! Haha. I enjoy Pei Wei on occasion but that's about it.

    I guess the fact that I still have China Garden in my phone says it all! :D

    I thought I was the only one that had resturants on speed dial. Let me get those numbers out my phone. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :bigsmile:

    My fiance LOVES the Chinese buffet, so I formulated a strategy for when I go.

    1) Eat a big salad first. Keep your dressing on the side or use vinegar instead.
    2) Look out for vegetables. Our buffet has these delicious grilled mushrooms that aren't swimming in oil or butter. They also have some dishes such as "Buddha's Delight," which is a bunch of Chinese vegetables sauteed with tofu.
    3) Use tiny portions for other things, especially anything fried or battered. Don't stack your food.
    4) If you must have dessert, steer clear of the dessert bar and head to the fruit bar instead. Most buffets have watermelon and oranges.
    5) Bring a notebook with you and write down everything you eat.

    Last time I went I did these, still ate some of my favorite dishes, and came in at 420 calories. Try this if your family/friends force you to go with them, but you still want to be able to eat something.

    I always order steamed chicken and veggies with the garlic sauce on the side. I dip my fork into the sauce before stabbing a piece of chicken and vegtable. Saves a ton of calories! Then, I go for the fruits for dessert and end with a 25 calorie fortune cookie! I avoid the rice because it's so high in calories and I'll need those extra calories for a snack in about an hour after I eat Chinese food!
