Absolutely not! In the first place, a good Chinese fish should not be oily. Perhaps the reason why some restaurant dishes are so oily is that their stoves give of a tremendous amount of heat while the dish is being cooked; extra oil is used to prevent food from sticking and burning. A great portion of the ingredients in Chinese dishes are vegetables, which are low in calories. In addition, the traditional Chinese menu does not call for too many deep-fried dishes.

Peanut oil has been used by the Chinese for hundreds of years because of its high oil content and because it can be extracted easily by a primitive process.

No. Hydrogenation is an industrial process where hydrogen molecules are introduced to the oil to make it solid at room temperatures. It chemically alters the oil and creates harmful trans fatty acids. Cooking with coconut oil does NOT introduce hydrogen into the oil or hydrogenate it.
