Simba Sharma replied. Just ask the chef not to add MSG and enjoy chinese Manali replied. Hi dear.The main reason why doctors advise pregnant women to avoid Chinese food is the use of ajinomoto in it which is not good for the baby.But you can always cook at home Chinese style but try and avoid the Chinese sauces.Instead make a simple stir fry with all the julienne cut veggies or prawns or chicken alongwith bell peppers or fish.Don' t use sauces,instead use plain salt and pepper or a little chilli powder too would do.Instead of vinegar use lemon juice.You can even make fried rice the same way.Use eggs and spring onions if you want.If you want you can even make simplified schezwan sauce at home just replacing vinegar with lemon juice.I think this should help.
