Healthy Asian Dining in New Jersey

Asian dining can really be a hit or miss experience, but New Jersey provides a vast array of truly excellent, healthy Asian restaurants. Well-established joints, such as Veggie Heaven with locations in Denville, New City, Montclair, and Teaneck and Asian Garden with locations in Highland Park and Union, provide less-greasy options with a large selection of vegetable dishes.
The Asian Food Center (in Princeton) and Great Wall Supermarket (in Franklin Park) provide a wide range of affordable groceries from which you can cook up simple meals with just a handful of those fresh ingredients. With a few radishes, some salt, finely-pounded rock sugar, and a tablespoon each of chili sauce and sesame oil, you can have a light, excellently spiced appetizer. If fried rice is what you are craving, toss some cooked rice with oil, an egg, and soy sauce, then add some cooked peas and sliced spring onion, and, finally, add a dash of sesame oil and salt and pepper. While perusing the Great Wall Supermarket, if you decide to pick up a meal instead, there are plenty of fewer-calorie options at the in-store restaurant as well. You may even pick up a tip on Asian cooking from the experienced cooks there!
