3. General Tso's Chicken
左宗棠雞
The deep-friend chicken dish is believed to be associated with Tsung-tang Tso, a Chinese statesman and military leader in the late 1800s. Actually, it was invented by Changkuei Peng, a Taiwanese chef who created the dish in 1955 for US Naval Admiral Arthur W. Radford.
人們以為這道炸雞料理與19世紀(jì)后期中國的一位政治家兼軍事領(lǐng)袖左宗棠有關(guān)。實(shí)際上,這道菜是由彭長貴發(fā)明的,他是一位臺灣廚師,于1955年為美國海軍上將亞瑟·W·雷德福制作了這道菜。

4. Fortune Cookies
幸運(yùn)餅
Fortune Cookies are popular in western Chinese restaurants as after-meal desserts. Despite their popularity, restaurants in China and Hong Kong certainly don't serve fortune cookies as sweets after finishing their meal.
幸運(yùn)餅被當(dāng)做餐后甜點(diǎn),在西方的中餐館里頗受歡迎。雖然這道甜點(diǎn)很受歡迎,但中國和香港的餐館卻一定不會(huì)把幸運(yùn)餅作為餐后甜點(diǎn)。

5. Chop Suey
炒雜燴
Chop Suey consists of bamboo shoots, bean
sprouts, mushrooms and cabbage with a choice of chicken, prawns or beef. Chinese takeaways created Chop Suey to make the best profit of the leftover food of the day.

6. Egg Rolls

8. Beef Broccoli
西藍(lán)花炒牛肉
This dish is Stir-fried beef with broccoli in brown sauce. Chinese people cannot find gai-lan in western countries and therefore use broccoli instead and created this dish.
這道菜是用西藍(lán)花煸炒牛肉,加燒汁烹飪而成。中國人在西方國家找不到甘藍(lán),因此就用西藍(lán)花代替甘藍(lán)作出了這道菜。
?
9. Sweet and Sour Pork
甜酸肉
The pork dish is made from ketchup, sugar, pineapple juice and soy sauce. Sweet and Sour dishes did not originate from China but were more likely created from a Cantonese dish and then adapted for westerners' taste buds.

10. Sesame Prawn Toast
芝麻蝦
Prawn toast consists of deep fried triangle toasts coated with shrimp paste and sesame on top. It is often seen on the menu as a Dim Sum dish but sesame toast has never been seen served as Dim Sum in Cantonese cuisine.
芝麻蝦是涂有蝦醬的炸三角吐司,上面還撒了芝麻。這道菜經(jīng)常會(huì)在點(diǎn)心餐單上看到,但在粵菜里,芝麻吐司從未被當(dāng)作點(diǎn)心。
