Does Chinese food have milk in?
Generally speaking, no, Chinese food does not traditionally contain milk.
Here's why:
* Cultural and Dietary Practices: Chinese cuisine historically relies on plant-based ingredients and cooking techniques. Milk and dairy products are not a staple in traditional Chinese diets.
* Lactose Intolerance: Lactose intolerance is common in East Asian populations.
* Vegetarian Options: Many Chinese dishes are naturally vegetarian or can be easily adapted to be vegetarian.
However, there are exceptions:
* Westernized Chinese Cuisine: In certain Westernized Chinese dishes, ingredients like cream, butter, or cheese may be added. This is more common in dishes like "sweet and sour pork" or "chicken chow mein" adapted to appeal to Western palates.
* Regional Variations: Some regional Chinese cuisines might incorporate milk or dairy products in specific dishes. For example, in areas near Mongolia, some dishes might use fermented milk products.
If you are concerned about milk in your Chinese food, it's always best to ask your server or check the menu for details.
