fermented tofu, marinated tofu, etc...

I love fried tofu! I've never had it stuffed, though. What are the usual
stuffings?

No you haven't. Keep up the good work.

Except for leaving the attributions alone, I agree. People that don't
trim make me crazier than usual... ;-)

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.

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

i guess i make my fried rice differently from most of the posters so
far. in mine, the eggs are not a garnish or separate ingredient, but
are mixed with the soy and other spices with a view towards coating
the rice (and meat and vegetables). it is added last.

so, little help to you, ebrian, i'm afraid.

I, OTOH, make the fried rice, then scrape a clear spot in the pan
to scramble an egg. Once it's cooked, I cut it into little pieces
with my wooden paddle and mix it into the rest of the rice. Your
way sounds interesting though...

Sorry. I've never done stuffed tofu. But if I did, I'm sure I'd
have a picture (and it would probably be stuffed with seafood,
not vegetables)

My friend is like that with shrimp. She keeps the benadryl handy and
enjoys the shrimp.

I'm allergic to shrimp, but I still eat it. As long as you eat
it once a week or so, even just a little bit, you develop an
immunity. If you go a month or more without it, then the
consequences will be worse.

So I eat a ot of shrimp - but never at a restaurant. Only in the
privacy of my own home in case something goes wrong.

I make a well in the bottom of the wok (push the rice to the
sides of the wok) and then pour in the slightly beaten egg.
Scramble it in there for 15-20 seconds then fold the rice in op
top of it and continue stir frying. The egg breaks up neatly in
chunks without getting all over every grain of rice.

Hey, do you know if that works with milk? I'm also lactose
intolerant, but only to large doses of milk. Someone told me that
their doctor said you can't 'gain' it back, but I've found that when I
have milk in moderation, I don't have any problems with it, whereas if
I stop drinking millk for a month and then have some, i get some
pretty explosive diarrhea..

You're probably right. My symptoms aren't too bad, I just prefer
avoiding them if possible. I have at times stupidly eating things I
knew had egg in them, whether it was some delicious looking dessert,
or a small piece of cake because I didn't want to be the only guy not
eating someone's b-day cake. It's never been worse than maybe 2-3
hours of sharp pain in the chest and itchy throat, usually if I take a
nap it makes it easier to ride it out.

You may already know this, but if it's a real allergy and not just a
"sensitivity" then repeatedly exposing yourself to the antigen (the
eggs) can continue to make the allergy worse. Then one day you eat some
egg and croak. Worst case scenario, to be sure, but still....

Yea I'm aware of that one.. i think we all had this discussion
before :P

It's weird because some people say that if we repeated expose
ourselves to them, we can develop an immunity, whereas others say more
exposure can kill ya.

I'll add my procedure to this particular post without snipping:

In an large electric fry pan, I fry the egg enough to push it to the side,
then I cook/fry at the same time, but keeping them in their own spaces, any
and all additions I wish add. Then, I take them all out onto a oval flat
dish. Then I put the rice in the fry pan with how ever much sesame oil and
perhaps a little soy sauce, and cook/fry it to my liking; then I add all the
ingredients back to the rice and finish it up. When I plate it, I either
plate it onto the oval flat dish, or leave it in the frypan on low in case
anyone wants more helpings.

I don't understand this either. I took shots every week for many years
to develop an immunity to certain allergies. My BIL was told that after
he suffered a bee sting, that the next one could kill him. Sure enough,
it did, despite pills and an epipen.

Do we have the same stomachs? I'm lactose intolerant, too. Still doesn't
prevent me from eating pizza although I may hate myself afterwards.

Pizza does not contain lactose.

Google "Inari sushi" for Japanese style. Typically various vegetables
are used.

My friend has a totally variable reaction. Sometimes there is barely a
reaction and sometimes quite intense.

B> Blech! Although I may like it, if I tried it.

I've tried a lot of things and I quite like ketchup on a
burger; sometimes both it and mustard together but *never* mayo!
I also like tomato and a thin slice of onion tho' I don't use
ketchup if I have a sliced tomato. Steak sauce is not bad
either!

With dogs, I go the same way, ketchup, mustard, steak sauce,
chopped onion etc. so there! Mustard and chopped onion is very
good :-) One of my favorites, when other things are not
available, is one hotdog with mustard and another with ketchup.
The only thing I don't like is sweet pickle relish.
