It is Chinese food. Stop being a snob. Reminds me of this video on YouTube where Asian people tried Panda Express for the first time. There was this younger guy who before even eating it was like ugh this is gross its not REAL Chinese food grossbut a group of older Chinese people were really open to it and were like yes its not what Im used to but I like it, its alright

Egg Foo Young is extremely Chinese. You just can't buy the Chinese version basically anywhere.

They are not. And unlike many of the other foods here they aren't even based on a Chinese dish. It's just something that someone made to seem vaguely Chinese and it got so popular that it kind of stuck

And thinking about it I definitely have to go with ketchup as the most American Chinese food. It's so American that it actually gets counted as "American."

I love egg foo young especially shrimp egg foo young. I have not had any since the first lock down in Illinois. Maybe I will buy an egg foo young kit. Any recommendations? I love bean sprouts.

So I will buy a can of stir fry vegetables and use sesame oil while frying it with eggs. I think I have (Mexican) rice flour to add as a thickener.

A chef I was watching explained it as, most traditional Chinese food is cooked in a steamer or a wok, if you stray away from that its less Chinese style and more European

But basically the takeout stuff you buy in a food court is more American style Chinese food

If a Chinese restaurant calls itself a seafood restaurant instead of Chinese its probably pretty authentic

True, but it was invented in St. Paul Minnesota.

According to the wiki page it was invented at Park Chop Suey (1321 Chouteau Ave, St. Louis, MO 63103) but the inventor was a St. Paul native who named it after his hometown.

Close enough

I buy my own MSG to put in stuff.

The MSG fear is just anti-asian racism and was never based on peer-reviewed science.

Who cares, if it tastes good, it tastes good.

It's not like people give asian countries massive amounts of shit for changing western food to cater to local tastes.
