    Like many folks, fried rice was one of the first Asian dishes I learned to love as a child. Something about the savory steaming fluffy rice, the tiny peas and carrots, the bits of egg, the meat or, my preference, the shrimp coming together to create a tasty dish that continues please me to this day.

    Like many folks, when I went gluten-free, I gave up soy sauce just to be safe. Even though much evidence suggests that soy sauce is safe for people on a gluten-free diet, I have kind of stuck to my old ways and generally avoid soy sauce unless I can be sure it is gluten-free. This means that I have occasionally had to forgo this favorite when ordering Chinese food.

    Soy sauce contains wheat, so how can this recipe be gluten-free?

    She is using gluten free soy sauce. Look for it in your health food store.

    He** (a man wrote this recipe). I use a mixture of tamari and liquid aminos in place of the soy sauce. I've cooked this recipe about 4 times, changing the meat. It's become a family staple. Very, very good!

    Use gluten-free soy sauce or tamari. I will be sure to add a note of that.

    Wheat free soy sauce like La Choy is gluten free, but in my opinion not very good. I use organic Tamari which is gluten free.

    VERY good recipe--definitely the best I've ever made at home! Even the kids gobbled it up! My ONLY complaint is that the recipe is a bit confusing--the first instruction says to melt the butter and 1 Tbsp. oil in the wok. I mistakenly thought we were talking about the sesame oil, so we had to dump the first mix out. I made a few mistakes of that same nature, because the recipe didn't specify WHICH oil to use. Also, it never says to remove the onion and garlic from the wok before adding the egg, so I left it in there WITH the egg, and found out later (when it said to add it back in) that I had obviously missed a step. I will definitely make this again!

    Ingredient list is missing an onion (not a green onion) because the instructions about cooking an onion until brown don't make any sense - you wouldn't do that to a green onion, plus the green onion is added later in the recipe. I'm guessing one small to medium onion (3/4 cup) based on the recipe I think this is based on. Otherwise this came out great, better than a lot of fried rice I have ordered at restaurants! I think it could stand a bit more garlic and the addition of maybe a half tsp of sesame oil added with the soy sauce at the end.
