Does anyone have a recipe for this? Seems like every recipe for fried
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.

I guess I'm missing something in your question, but here goes:

remove the eggs from the ingredient list
prepare as otherwise directed.

I need a recipe for a hamburger without the ham. I had at one time but
lost it. Can't find on google either.

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.

Just make fried rice...

and leave out the eggs!

If you are concerned about the texture issue, substitute some tofu
chunks.

Yeah, but it takes too long to scrape the cheese off.

The eggs are not essential to the dish, just leave them out...

You can also throw in some fried tofu (age, pronounced ah-***) which has
a consistency similar to eggs.

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
can do is to dump you, you are ignorant, hostile, and abusive... she
needs to literally run for her life.

You must eat at different Chinese places than I do...

Nah.

He/she probably just thinks that recipes are written in stone. :-)

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
along. If something turns out exceptionally well or I want to post it, I
try to remember at least approximate amounts to scribble down.

And I'm ok with that. :-d

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.

It's more likely that the sarcasm is engendered by the way you asked
the question. You didn't ask what could be substituted for egg, you
didn't say whether you're looking for a flavor component, or a
textural one, or a protein source. You just asked for eggless fried
rice, to which the correct answer is, make fried rice but leave out
the egg.

If you're going to try tofu, I suggest you cube it small and fry it on
at least two sides in a little quite hot oil until golden brown.
Season it as you do that, perhaps with a little soy and a little
sesame oil. Then gently stir it into the rice at the end of cooking.
Otherwise, it's just going to break up into indistinguishable mush. -

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.

Hilarious.. and let me guess, the restaurant is called Ho-Lee-Chow or
Man-Chu-Wok?

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.

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.

Yes, they do: http://www.mcdonalds.com/contact/contact_us.html

It's not exactly email, but it is a contact page.

Lots of people need recipes for very simple things. After they get more
experience, they will learn which recipes have to be followed exactly
(most baking) and which are pretty flexible (like fried rice).
