If you read the original New England Journal of Medicine article on which this is based (http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM196804042781419), you will find that is it in fact an anecdote where quite literally a physician ate Chinese food and wrote a letter about it. There is no research, no evidence, no null hypothesis.
