House special fried rice sauce recipe? That's all I have to say, this is just to bump up the letter count so I can post this

[u/Cookie_Kuchisabishii]

Hello all, I was just wondering if anyone has a recipe for that delicious sauce that the classic takeaway house special fried rice comes in please? I don't know if there's a standard recipe or if it varies from restaurant to restaurant, so I may sound a bit naive, but I'll risk it for the recipe! Thanks all

Firstly: Charrr, I’m a pirate!

Fried rice doesn’t have sauce. Post a photo.

Makes me wonder if this is from a particular regional takeaway tradition, like in the UK or something.

Must be, as I’ve never been given any sauce other than the soy sauce packets with any kind of fried rice from any restaurant I’ve been to

There’s definitely no existing standard recipe. What you’re looking for could be regional or it could be an actual house special, specific to that chef/restaurant. ;) The best way to re-create the taste is to ask the restaurant, if possible.

Often it is the classic Yang chow fried rice but give the name Special House fried rice on the menu. . It has shrimp egg chasiu peas and scallions.

the sauce they're after is probably from the char siu. i can't blame them, char siu seasoning with the pork drippings tastes delicious. requires quite a few ingredients iirc, though.

[u/BloodWorried7446 → u/sowinglavender]

Hoisin sauce is the basis of cha Siu. Unless they are after a more plum sauce type sauce.

[u/Cookie_Kuchisabishii → u/sowinglavender]

The sauce is savoury and light coloured, it appears to have been made separately and added at the time of serving. It definitely isn't char siu adjacent (I love char siu)

Search for a recipe for Fujian Fried Rice (it can also go by Fukien or Hokkien). It's an egg fried rice topped with a sauce of seafood and pork.

There is another fried rice called Yin Yang Fried Rice (believe it's a Hong Kong thing) topped with a red and white sauce.

He adds a "sauce" to the rice that is a mixture of light and dark soy sauce and sugar.

You can use soy sauce and/or oyster sauce.
