Chicken fried rice?

Question

There is a chinese place here that makes the best chicken fried rice, and I could eat it every day.
Is it a healthy dish?
It would seem that it is low in fat, and is not overly salty.
I love it!

Answer 1

I love CFR. I ate it for about a month while traveling through Asia. I can order it in 5 languages but you can't get a decent CFR where I live.



I am envious...



Sorry I don't know how healthy it is.

Answer 2

depends on how much MSG they use, or how much oil they use to fry up the thing.

Answer 3

I think they use lots of oil when cooking it.

I like pork fried rice better.

Answer 4

Anything fried is not good. Think what you eat today will effect you 10 years from now.

Answer 5

It is good, as is most fast food. But that is exactly what it is. Fast food. Chicken fried rice is REALLY greasy, so I can't see it being healthy.





CFR has 265 calories per serving, and 360mg of sodium, I don't think that is very healthy.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Answer 9

every Chinese food place makes it differently, if you want to know exactly how good it is for you you should ask what they used to cook it with. most places like that cook it with peanut oil or olive oil and both are healthy er then vegetable oil.

Answer 10

if u njoi, go ahead, but i care bout ppl and al i can say is pls stop killin animals dude! i luv them. its not a healthy food by da way!

Answer 11

Rice has a lot of carbs in it so over doing the carbs is not healthy. I'm sure the veggies, chicken and rice are fried in some kind of oil, so that isn't the healthiest either. I'm thinking it's probably one of the better dishes at the Chinese restaurant health wise, but I would still say not healthy. You should eat in moderation.

Answer 12

i know chinese people used overnight rice to make a good fried rice....this overnight rice will make the fried rice drier and fluffier.. however, it's not too good to eat a lot of overnight rice as i heard that it contains some type of chemical that's harmful to your body. this chemical is actually released from the rice ar they are left overnight or left for far too long hours.

Answer 13

yes

Answer 14

i think it is healthy, eat away

Answer 15

sure - why not..
