Take Out Chinese Food

[Suezboss]

If I ask for it to be steamed, and cooked in a washed pan, would this be OK? I have the Wheat-Free soy sauce that I usually make with my home-made chinese, but was wondering if steamed would be OK? How about the white rice from a chineese take out? Fried rice?

Steamed rice is fine at an Asian restaurant. Nothing is added to it. I don't know about Fried rice though, depends on whether or not they add soy sauce to it or what kind of oil they use or if they are using a wok that is contaminated. If you are allergic to eggs, then stay a way for sure, but I would still steer clear of it, personally.

I went to Big Bowl and had Kung Pao chicken, which is gluten free with steamed rice with no ill affects.

I used to rely on the convience of carry out, but, in my town when no one speaks english, I would not even go there. I have a translation card, but even then, I can see into the kitchen............oh no.

Home made is always better.

If I get anything at a chinese place, it is steamed shrimp and vegetables. I seemed to have problems with chicken at one place, so I tend to stick with shrimp, but if you are *very* clear that you want *nothing* else on it, it *should* be fine. Someone here once noted that they knew a chinese place that cooked their rice with broth, which you'd want to be careful of, but I haven't seen that myself.

Thanks, I didn't even think to question the rice, I just assumed it was OK... ahhhhh

I usually get steamed chicken or shrimp and veggies. I take a small bottle of La Choy soy sauce with me and no longer use the dining cards at this particular resturant as they know me. I get the stamed rice and have not had a problem in the half dozen or so trips with eat in / take out.
