Most Chinese people have never even heard of a General Tsao, and are
completely befuddled by the overly sauced fried chicken dish that
Americans know as General Tsao's chicken.
In fact, authentic Chinese food almost looks nothing like American
Chinese food. It varies tremendously by region: Sichuan cuisine is
spicy, Shangdong cuisine is generally salty and crispy, and Cantonese
cuisine is sweet, for example.
Here are 8 real Chinese dishes you should order instead of the American knock-offs.
Instead of crab rangoon, order Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings):

Chinese
people would not understand the appeal of crab rangoon, deep fried
wontons filled with fake crab meat and cream cheese. If you're hankering
for a dumpling, order Xiao Long Bao instead. These Shanghai dumplings
are filled with meat—usually pork or crab—and a rich savory broth that
oozes out at the first bite.
