Zi Char, originating from Singapore, is a style of Chinese home-style cooking served in casual eateries. The name translates to "cook and fry," reflecting its flavorful, wok-based preparation. Dishes often include stir-fried noodles, rice, seafood, meats, and vegetables, flavored with soy sauce, oyster sauce, garlic, and other Asian spices. While Zi Char can provide a balance of protein, carbs, and fiber—depending on the chosen dishes—its healthiness varies based on preparation methods. Wok frying often uses oil, and some dishes may lean towards higher fat and sodium content, especially fried or heavily sauced items like salted egg prawns or sambal kangkong. However, steamed and stir-fried vegetable options, along with lean proteins like fish or chicken, offer healthier alternatives while still retaining the vibrant flavors. Moderation is key when enjoying Zi Char as part of a balanced diet.
