Anyone Freeze Chinese Takeout?
I would like to take some dishes with me. Will they freeze and still be good defrosted and re-heated?

I've frozen the following takeout type dishes with success:
Shanghai style roasted meats- duck and pork
dumplings and wontons w/ any sauce on the side
fried rice minus the egg (I don't like the texture of frozen scrambled egg and it's easy enough to add after)
eggplant or broccoli in garlic sauce
sauteed bok choy
Most any type of dim sum
I'd think any kind of corn starch based sauced dish would freeze well.
I'd stay away from freezing anything that's already cooked and breaded.
I cook a lot of my own Chinese food and have found this website comprehensive, funny and easy to follow:
