I think reheated twice cooked pork would only become thrice cooked unless you reheated it twice then it would qualify as quadruple cooked. To avoid any confusion I like to eat my Chinese leftovers cold right out of the box, Just like pizza I think they are much better that way.

This thread makes me feel hungry immediatly. Even I've just had a breakfast. Yeh! Dim Sum is one of my fav chinese food. :p

Actualy this works best as a practical joke;

With the most intelligent look on your face you write a row of numbers (doesn't matter which numbers) like; 5 , 17, 34, 69 , 72 and say to your audience; Which number doesn't belong in this row?
They will start counting,trying to find a pattern, but no one will come up with the right answer;
number 34! (or any other number); because all the other numbers come with rice, and number 34 comes with noodles!

Aah! Now we're talkin'. Breakfast of champions (or is it breakfast of champignons?)! Cold pizza and warm, flat beer, yum!

Best Chinese leftovers are wrapped in a tortilla as a Sino-Mexican burrito.

There's actually a restaurant (the Chino Bandito - logo is a Panda with bandoleers and a sombrero) nearby that offers such things. Anyone care for a Jade Chicken chimichanga?

a lemon Chicken chimichanga would be great with a saki margarita

Mo betta you try sucking on a crack seed (li hing mui), Stev0. Take away that dim sum craving!

Meanwhile, I'm for ganpunggi, a garlicky version of General Tso Chicken that is one of the more popular Chinese dishes in Korea. Back in the 1970s, when the Boose Family traveled around the Korean back country in our ancient Toyota Land Cruiser (known to us as "Matilda" as in Waltzing, but called the sobangja [fire truck] by our Korean friends due to its red and white color scheme) we would stop at Chinese eateries in small villages (identifiable by the tiny faded red ribbons next to the door) for ganpunggi.

These little places were all very much alike -- dirt floor, rickety tables with mismatched chairs, fly-blown photo of Chiang Ching Kuo (the ROC President at the time) on the wall under crossed ROK and ROC flags. We would order ganpunggi and then sit back to nibble on pickled white radish and onions with bean sauce and wait.

The first step was for someone to be sent out to bring back a live chicken, which would disappear into the kitchen and, after the sounds of chopping and sizzling, would reemerge as a pile of delectable garlic-coated fried chicken pieces -- each with a tiny, razor-sharp sliver of bone inside.

To this day, when our youngest daughter comes to visit, she demands to go to our nearest Korean restaurant for ganpunggi -- still delicious, even though the razor-sharp slivers of bone are missing.

Now I'm going to have to convince the wife to go out for Chinese soon... (Or at least make up a nice batch of Fried Rice).

Has great food and the place a couple of doors down with a combination of Greek and Middle Eastern is pretty good also. Mousaka just popped into my head. Gotta go.
