Chicken Fried Rice Tips and Tricks

  • Besides the health benefits of eating All Whites instead of whole eggs when cooking chicken fried rice, they are also much less wasteful than separating eggs yourself and discarding the yolks.

  • So, I made this easy Chinese chicken fried rice with a shortcut: I used instant brown rice, which is ready in about 10 minutes. Using leftover rice would be great too. I don’t mind making regular brown rice sometimes, but on most days it’s hard to have 40 minutes to cook the rice!

  • One quick tip before I get to the recipe: I was a little surprised at how long it took for the All Whites to start to cook. As the recipe instructs, I pushed the rice to the sides of the pan and created a little well in the center for my egg whites. I reduced the heat to low, poured in the All Whites, and it seemed like nothing happened for quite some time. I’d say it was a good five minutes before it started to set up, but then it happened pretty quickly.

I just thought I’d pass that along in case you started to panic about having a pool of raw eggs in the middle of your rice. Be patient, and the Chinese recipe will all come together!

When I was eating eggs (before I knew I was allergic to them!), I loveddddd All Whites! It made my mornings and baking so much easier!

Oh yikes, you can’t eat eggs or wheat?! You cook such amazing things with those limitations, you talented lady! Thank you, Meg :)

I love this product! I’m a “whole egg” kinda girl, but every once in a while I want to use just whites. I try to make sure I have a recipe to go with the yolks, but sometimes I wind up wasting them, so these are a lifesaver! This fried rice sounds fantastic.

I made a recipe with egg whites a while ago and then didn’t know what to do with the yolks. I much prefer just buying the part I need, so I’ll use AllWhites next time. Thank you, Heather!

There is no quantity for the Egg Whites in the recipe… just a unit of measure of “cup”…

Andi

Hi, Glenn. I corrected the recipe, which should call for one cup of egg whites. Sorry for the mistake, and thanks for letting me know!

I love fried rice. I like the sherry added to it. Super healthy and thus guilt free fried rice—-even better. Quick & easy—even mo’ better.

I don’t normally talk about ME, but take note of the slight name change from Wild Goose Tea. New web design–whoopee and some new features.
