If you spot these vegetables in your Chinese Food that is a clue that you are eating Americanized Chinese Food.  Did you know that Americanized Chinese Food is usually sweeter, thicker and blander than real Chinese Food. Real Chinese Dishes might be made with ingredients like , Tripe, Tendon,  and Intestine. Real Kung Pao Chicken doesn’t have sugar in it and is not thick and has real Sichuan Pepper in it.
