Wiktionary exampleThese source excerpts show how Chinapfanne appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
„Schweizer Soldaten, das merkt man beim Blättern, essen nicht unbedingt typische Schweizer Küche. Chinapfanne, Curry-Reissalat und Spareribs erinnern verdächtig an den internationalen Mischmasch, der in deutschen Kantinen und Kneipen aus der Tiefkühltruhe kommt. Die Armeeköche setzen dabei eher auf Deftiges.“
