Dear 18G,
Most chinesey food is not challenging. Make a stir-fry. Buy some bell peppers that are bright and nice colors - orange, red. they'll show well show nice against white rice.

i would recommend a spinach and rainbow veggie salad (with a homemade or store bought ginger dressing) and an appetizer.
if she likes tuna steaks a great easy appetizer is thinly sliced peppered and seared tuna. take a few capfulls of olive oil (more for 2 whole tuna steaks) and put it into a ziplock bag w/ lemon juice and black pepper. put tuna steak(s) in ziplock bag and massage the tuna steaks in the maranade.
then prep the steaks for cooking by covering them w/ black pepper on all sides while the pan heats up w/ olive oil. cook tuna until its evenly grey on all sides and warm and red on the inside. the cooking of each steak should take around 2-4 minutes depending on thickness (about 30 seconds on each side)
thinly slice and present in a layover circle w/ a small bowl of soy sauce (or other dipping sauce) in center of circle and garnish with small greens.
