I sure don't have to ask my wait[er|ress] for those peanuts in my kung
pao chicken. And I'm speaking both in general and specifically of
today's lunch at the Joie Luck Kitchen.

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
and peppers. This morning, it showed up in breakfast burritos. Delicious!

I frequent the two in NYC and they definitely serve eggs in fried rice
and they don't omit nuts from those dishes that typically have them.

Yeah, but you seriously don't want to see it. When I make vegan

it, though, of course, or I wouldn't make it).

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

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

every Chinese place...

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
high, stupid or both.

So it's only chook eggs you're allergic to, not fish eggs?

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?

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..

I bet he has too. I find some people's food intolerances to sometimes

Hey can you share the recipe you decided on? Except for 2 times, I
never used any recipes. The second time I uesd a recipe was frn the
instruction of a seasoning package, a product of Thailand. W/o MSG.
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.
