I go to these restuarants all the time, but I don't know what's the healthiest things, especially entrees. So what do you guys think?

For example, ifyou go to Korean restaurants, kimchi is healthy, but kalbi isn't as healthy, right?

[hae mee]

Kalbi marinade has a lot of soy sauce so that that into consideration. Kimchi is really healthy, but it also has alot of salt.

I read in a magazine that to make a healthier (healthier, not healthy) option that food in black bean sauce is better for you than sweet and sour sauce and things like that. Usually, I try and eat all of my miso soup and salad because then that makes me eat less of my entree.

Oh and the edamame (soy beans) at Japanese restaurants (mostly sushi places) are realyl really good for you so getting thos an appetizer is good. As far for other food, I'm not sure.

OH! And the reason why Korean food is considered healthy is because they have all of those vegetable side dishes so people usually don't eat alot of their main course with the 50 bajillion side diesh hahaha

for korean place, i'd say bibimbap. if you eat meat, then any of the lean cuts of meat [unmarinated], and muli-grain rice in place of white rice.

kimchi depends on the store. some places add a lot of preservatives, and some others a ton of sweetener. real healthy kimchi doesn't taste good unless you let it ferment at home. most restaurants will add unhealthy additives so they can make it taste good within a short amount of time, which is necessary since restaurants go through tubs of kimchi everyday.

Here's what I'd recommend for Korean restaurants:
Korean restaurants:

Jjolmyun (Chewy, spicy noodles with assorted shredded veggies and no meat Korean spelling:쫄면),
Bibimnaengmyun (buckwheat noodles with spicy sauce and assorted shredded veggies Korean spelling: 비빔냉면),
Naeongmyun (iced buckwheat noodles which is very refreshing to eat during warm weather! Korean spelling: 냉면),
Bibimbap (rice mixed with assorted veggies and different variations. If you get the black stone bowl kind it comes out hot which is very tasty but if you don't want to eat a warm dish especially since the weather's getting warmer than opt for the regular kind that's just in a regular bowl. Korean spelling: 비빔밥),
Hwedupbap (rice with leafy green veggies which I'm not quite sure of what it's called as well as chunks of raw tuna. You mix it with the red pepper paste that's been mixed with vinegar and other seasons to make it a spicy, sweet, tangy sauce. Jjohlmyun used the same sauce).
Chapchae (clear, sweet potato noodles mixed with thinly sliced beef, shitake mushrooms, carrots, onions, and scallions) is pretty good too but a lot of soy sauce and sesame oil is mixed into it.

Random: Red meat takes 3-4 hours for the body to digest and tuna is low in calories but the body burns off more calories digesting it ^^!

Just make sure there's nothing fried and without a lot of sauce. For Chinese restaurants it's best to go for something that's been steamed, usually chicken and veggies. Japanese food is pretty healthy minus the tempura. Soba over udon although soba is a bit boring. Just eat sushi or order a roll that's not coated in a batter and fried and you're good to go ^^ If you get one of those lunch bento sets there's usually tempura that comes with it. You can just take off the outer batting coating and just eat the veggie or shrimp without it.

Out of the 3, Chinese food is the unhealthiest, a lot of fried foods.

Japanese, if you plan on eating sushi stick to fresh ingredients, anything fried or eel has lots of calories and fat
