Traditional food Chinese
These actually just don't exist in China.
Sweet And Sour Anything

That goes for the sauce on pork, chicken, beef, shrimp, veggies, what have you.
Chop Suey

This was apparently invented by a Chinese-American cook.
Putting Soy Sauce On Anything

Soy sauce might be essential to Chinese cooking, but adding it to already prepared Chinese food? That's like saying you don't think the cook seasoned it properly.
Deep-Fried Chicken Wings

That's all North America. Unsurprisingly.
Egg Foo Young

An omelet made with Chinese vegetables does sound delicious, but is a western creation.
Egg Drop Soup

Even this, the staple of every Chinese menu I've ever seen, you're thinking? Well, it does exist in China, but not in the same thick, gelatinous version — and with the addition of tofu, scallion and bean sprouts.
Anything With Broccoli

Yes, you, beef with broccoli. That's supposed to be bok choy or gai lan.
What The Veg?

Any dish that just comes with onions and green peppers is not for real.
Lemon Chicken

Lemon chicken, so sweet, so tasty, so not authentic.
Anything With Tomatoes

Another veggie that's not native to China, and put in as an add-on. A false add-on.
Duck, Or Red, Sauce

This goes hand-in-hand with sweet and sour sauces — and in case you were wondering, there is no duck in duck sauce.
Spring Rolls

Alright, these do exist in China. But they're for kids, not grown-ups. Basically the Chinese chicken finger.
