I'm the opposite. I don't like to have Chinese leftovers. The
vegetables are perfectly cooked for only a few minutes. I never
want more than I can eat at one sitting. That's why we like to
go out for lunch: the portions are smaller and we can make it
through the entire serving. If we have a nice, leisurely dinner,
sometimes the vegetables are overcooked from sitting in the hot
sauce right there in the restaurant.
