ive heard of hollandaise on eggs, but never do it myself. ketchup is just gross, my mom would do that. its like when i was in taiwan, some taiwanese would always load their fried rice down with ketchup, and turn everything red. so nasty.

how about a new topic with fried rice combos, or is that too ethnic?

How many combos of fried rice are there? Veggie, beef, chicken, pork, shrimp....

...dog, cat, rat, ferret, mongoose...

yah, too ethnic. you can put any veggie and any meat in fried rice, and most any combo will taste good. nvm.

another simple chinese dish that we eat is made by frying eggs way over easy, then dumping them on hot rice with some soy sauce and what not (wife likes bamboo shoots, nasty, i like salmon), then stirring everything together, and let the egg become a sauce that cooks into the meal. mmmmmmmm, i know what im having for dinner tonight.

like italian carbonara i guess, but with rice.

sounds like asian pasta carbonarra

beat me to it

wait. why is it weird to put ketchup in fried rice? I use ketchup if that secret 'white sauce' isn't available. That stuff is AMAZING on anything from any oriental restaurant. There are no exceptions.

to me, the overuse of ketchup shows a lack of a refined palate
