#chinese cuisine as a whole doesn't use much dairy esp if it's traditional food and not new fusion desset stuff

[laisai]

oh right, I've heard it's not okay to eat dairy with meat together? china as a whole doesn't make much food with dairy because we don't have a tradition of keeping milk cows.... and most chinese people can't drink much milk (90%+ of chinese people are lactose intolerant haha)

i was surprised people said chinese food is kosher because we *do* have a lot of pork, but I suppose if the two main concerns are no pork and no meat with dairy, then i suppose It's not too hard to keep track of, and if you're at a cantonese restaurant (which is most chinese restaurants in the states), then there's a lot of seafood to pick from as well
