Eggless Fried Rice
ebrian
rice I can find asks for 2-3 whole eggs, which I am allergic to.
I once went to a Chinese restaurant and asked for fried rice with no
egg, the waitress looked at me like I was from another planet. She
did write it down though, and 15 minutes later, sure enough it came.
Instead of scrambled eggs, they put roe, and it was surprisingly
delicious.

So do that. You can also just leave the egg out, and it is fine.
Paul M. Cook
I guess I'm missing something in your question, but here goes:
remove the eggs from the ingredient list
prepare as otherwise directed.

The bits of egg are little more than a garnish, simply omit. If you
like you can add something else to add interest instead, like sliced
mushrooms. I never knew there was an actual recipe for fried rice,
isn't it just a way to use up whatever left overs... I sometimes make
Chinese fried rice with no rice, I use left over pasta instead.

Based on most of the idiotic and sarcastic responses, I'm guessing
many people have never eaten real chinese fried rice, or what you
think is real chinese fried rice -- isn't.
I want to make real Chinese fried rice, not some way to "get rid of
leftovers". I feel sad for the world if that's what fried rice has
been reduced to..
Eggs are most certainly not just a garnish, but one of the main
ingredients after rice. Eggs is an *assumed* ingredient with chinese
fried rice -- upon telling my fiancee I was planning to make fried
rice tonight, she asked me what I was planning to eat for dinner.
Anyway, whoever said to put tofu instead -- thanks, I'll try that.

Not being a Biotch here but roe is fish eggs. Depending on what component of
the egg causes your allergy you might also be susceptible to an allergic
reaction from roe. Just a thought.

Ask real Chinese people what fried rice is, and they'll say it is a way
to use up leftovers. Chinese people seldom eat fried rice, and
certainly wouldn't serve it to guests. Ask Chinese restaurant workers
in the US what fried rice is, and they'll say that it is something
served to round eyes.
Having said that, I like fried rice and often order it.

Amusing.
That is the way I tend to treat Omelets. ;-)
"Leftovers" Omelets are wonderful.
Around here (south central Texas), mix with eggs and stuff into a flour
tortilla for breakfast tacos, with a bit of added salsa.
Leftovers, if treated properly, can be as big of a treat as the original
meal.
I may also use leftovers in green salads depending on what they are.

The main ingredient in fried rice is not rice, it's fat.... there are
more fat calories than from all the other ingredients combined.
The majority of Chinese restaurants in North American China Towns do
not typically include eggs in their fried rice. They prepare a huge
wokful of meatless fried rice base from the *leftover* plain rice from
the previous day, and add various meats (pork, shrimp, chicken) as
ordered. Some may include small bits of fried egg but most do not,
especially not these days with all the clamor over allergies.
Restaurants are in the business to make money by increasing sales,
they are not going to purposely prepare foods that folks will balk
at. Chinese restaurants don't automatically include nuts in their
dishes anymore either, and most all have omitted or cut way back on
msg, and virtually all prominently indicate which dishes are hot
(spicey).
Btw, I hope she's reading this, because the best thing your fiancee

Those of us that really know how to cook know better.
I rarely follow recipes. I cook mostly by what I have on hand, and to
personal tastes and adjust accordingly.
I almost never make anything the same way twice, and I rarely measure
ingredients using measuring tools. I most often make it up as I go

try to remember at least approximate amounts to scribble down.

Talkin' restaurants here... whoever told you Chinese restaurant food
ain't fattening lied.. it's about the highest caloric content food on
the planet, most of those calories from fat.

Odds are you don't have Chinese restaurants anywhere nearby... there
are none within a hundred miles of where I live now either. And those
take outs and buffets don't serve anything resembling North American
China Town restaurant food.... every one I've ever been to serves
fried rice more akin to Puerto Rican rice. Those take outs and
buffets scattered about most every neighborhood serve Chinese food
like Taco Bell serves Mexican food.

But that's exactly what it is and has been for centuries. Here's a quote
from Irene Kuo's book "The Key to Chinese Cooking:"
"Fried rice, created primarily as a way to reheat leftover cold rice, is
an incidental in the Chinese diet. It is a snack, served in the
afternoon or eaten on a train or in a restaurant; it is never served
with a regular meal."

Why?
I've eaten at every China Town in the US and Canada, never seen tofo
in fried rice... in fact tofu is not a common ingredient on their
menus, very few dishes contain tofu and in those few dishes it's added
in minute quantites. In case you've never noticed very very few
Chinese people eat at the places that cater to round eyes. Few round
eyes will eat tofu, it would get scraped to the edge of the dish and
left there... they are not going to waste ingredients that round eyes
typically won't eat. If you want authentic Chinese food then
patronize those Chinese eateries where the Chinese people eat...
hopefully you are fluent in the various dialects... and be prepared to
be disgusted by a lot of the viands that arrive. Btw, they don't eat
fly lice, won't be on their menu.

I ordered 2 low carb Thickburgers with NO ketchup, NO mayo today. Why
can't they get that right? I scraped the nasty mayo (and with it, the
process cheese) off because I didn't have time to wait for them to re-
make it. I called their comments line. They're going to send me a
coupon for a free burger.

Most of that is a good idea, but not removing attributions. Obviously,
if you remove everything a person had contributed, then the attribution
line should go as well.

Thanks, I considered that as well, i'm allergic to chicken eggs.. or
probably poultry eggs. I've never had a problem with fish eggs..
probably has something to do with the make up of the protein. We had
a fairly long discussion here a few months ago about my (and others')
allergy.
ebrian
I had a craving for it. Whenever we eat out everyone orders fried
rice but I can't have any because it's got eggs in it. Some people
here say there's no egg in their fried rice, at least in their areas
of restaurants.. I dunno, I've been avoiding egg-filled fried rice
here in Toronto for the last 29 years, I don't think I've ever seen
fried rice without egg in it, unless you order specifically to which
case most often you get a funny look and the waiter/waitress has to
run to the back to ask the manager if it's even possible.

Lots of people need recipes for very simple things. After they get more

Sheldon did say "in Chinatowns". Restaurants there are different
from non-Chinatown, North-American Chinese restaurants. I'm
willing to believe egg is less common.

Growing up in Texas, the local burger places would put mustard on their
hamburgers. Whataburger, a southern chain, is still that way. It
frustrates some of my northern friends who forget this when they place
their order. Some people think mustard on a burger is disgusting. I love it.

Last night I cooked fajitas for dinner, but I had leftover meat, onions

Yeah, but you seriously don't want to see it. When I make vegan
"cheese" stuff, my partners run in the opposite direction (I like
it, though, of course, or I wouldn't make it).

Mustard on a hamburger's fine. Mayo is mandatory. Ketchup is an

Calling your local franchiser is a damned good way to make a point. My
16 y.o. daughter works at a local McD's. They are expected to get the
orders right the first time.
By contrast we stopped at a local Hardee's for breakfast recently. The
person taking orders was chattering over her headset with another
employee. There were no utensils or napkins in the bag and one of the
two orders omitted a normal component (sausage).
The issues were corrected because I checked it before leaving the
parking lot, but my daughter commented that, "Steve (the McD's manager)
would have our asses on a platter if we were
(1) Yapping over the headset instead of paying attention to the customers
-or-
(2) Prepared food items incorrectly by omitting ingredient(s)
-or-
(3) Didn't include utensils, napkins or condiments.
Let alone all three at once...

The "roe" thing is kinda wierd...sounds more Japanese to me. Never

I'm not complaining that their standard procedure is to put on
disgusting mayo, only that when I repeatedly specified not to put it
on, they did anyway. I think that the chick taking the order was

Are you so allergic to egg whites that you cannot have yolks, even if
they are carefully separated? If so, bummer, but do you know that for
sure?
--Bryan

You're probably right. My symptoms aren't too bad, I just prefer
avoiding them if possible. I have at times stupidly eating things I
knew had egg in them, whether it was some delicious looking dessert,
or a small piece of cake because I didn't want to be the only guy not
eating someone's b-day cake. It's never been worse than maybe 2-3
hours of sharp pain in the chest and itchy throat, usually if I take a
nap it makes it easier to ride it out.
..
Anyway, if anyone cares, my fried rice came out fine. My brother said
it tasted very different without eggs, but otherwise it was okay.
I cooked rice hours before, let it cool and put it in the fridge.
Boiled some frozen veggies for color, and cut thin slices of chinese
sausage [xiang chung]. Seasoned the whole thing with sesame oil,
peanut sauce [sa cha jung], soy sauce and hoisin sauce. Sorry my
pinyin is awful. To add a little kick I put some sriracha.
Two things I regret not having, some homemade bbq pork [char siu],
chinese mushrooms [dong gu] and shrimp. Maybe next time..

never used any recipes. The second time I uesd a recipe was frn the

Tasty. But, I don't want to rely on theses seasoning packages.
So, will you share if you find something that works and gives
restaurant flavor?

For sure, if you just head out to the mall you will find lame industrial
restaurants but there are good ones if you look. In my area there is a
small family run place a few towns over. They came here via NYC
Chinatown and do a really good job.

i guess i make my fried rice differently from most of the posters so
far. in mine, the eggs are not a garnish or separate ingredient, but
are mixed with the soy and other spices with a view towards coating
the rice (and meat and vegetables). it is added last.
so, little help to you, ebrian, i'm afraid.

I dare you to come to Zephyrhills, explore a bit, and then make that
statement. :~) Oh, we have a couple of nasty Chinese buffet restaurants
that even include pizza on the menu, but I wouldn't call them "real".
Tampa, however, I'm sure has a few authentic Asian restaurants. But, in
reality, when I'm in the mood to eat, I generally don't feel like driving an
hour or more to go get some decent grub. I'd rather make it at home.

That's how I make mine, too, Blake - eggs and shoyu at the end of the cook.
But, I, like ebrian, am allergic to eggs. Sometimes, I just have to have my
fried rice, though, and I suffer the consequences. I suffer as well when I
eat my homemade egg foo yung. I love eggs, too! <sniffle, sniffle>

You're crazy kili.. not that I don't do the same thing.
We have this promotion in the summer time called "Summerlicious",
where the top restaurants in the city (Toronto) create a 'special'
menu with a lower set price. Anyway, for dessert this one place had 3
desserts to choose from for the promotion, so I asked them which one
had eggs. The waiter said all of them. So then I asked him which one
had the *least* amount of egg...

Burgers are one of very few things I put ketchup on. I'll add some
mustard too sometimes, particularly on a cheeseburger. And if there's a
slice of tomato, some mayo on that.

You may already know this, but if it's a real allergy and not just a
"sensitivity" then repeatedly exposing yourself to the antigen (the
eggs) can continue to make the allergy worse. Then one day you eat some
egg and croak. Worst case scenario, to be sure, but still....

To be honest I rarely use recipes too, but I like to look over them to
give me ideas as to how to make what I want to make. I was hoping
someone here could give me some ideas how to replace egg, as opposed
to simply omitting them from the dish.
Based on some advice I read earlier from this newsgroup about using
day-old rice, I did that. Then I ended up just putting ingredients
I've seen in fried rice that I have seen at restaurants.
I added carrots (tiny squares), added peas and corn (peaches and
cream). For meat, I added thin slices of chinese sausage [xiang
chung] or [lap chung]. Seasoned the whole thing with sesame oil,
peanut sauce [sa cha jung], soy sauce and hoisin sauce. To add a
little kick I put some sriracha.
Two things I regret not having, some homemade bbq pork [char siu],
chinese mushrooms [dong gu] and shrimp. BBQ pork takes a bit of time
to make though, unless you go out and buy the stuff but I prefer
making it myself.
Maybe next time..

Really? You need to stop into that restaurant on Mott St where
practically every dish on the menu has tofu and tell them what they are
doing is unusual. Next stop at the restaurant around the corner
(Chrystie St?) and look at all of the pressed tofu salads they have on
the menu. Then stop over at the tofu shop around the corner where they
sell tons of it and ask everyone what they are doing with it.
Go out to Flushing and you will find the same with an added feature.
Stinky tofu (along with other versions) is quite popular in Taiwan and
The Flushing Chinatown has a high percentage of Taiwanese so there are a
number of vendors selling it.
I don't think I have ever been in a restaurant in Chinatown that didn't
have tofu on the menu.

I was trying to explain that to a friend this weekend. He has a so far
unknown
allergy. The allergist prescribed spring loaded epi pens as a precaution
but he
didn't get them. I carefully described that he may wish he had them in
his pocket someday.
