Key risk: Thai fried rice contains egg wok-fried directly into the rice, which cannot be separated out. Fish sauce is used as the base seasoning. Some versions also add oyster sauce for depth, adding shellfish and more gluten. The shrimp version adds visible crustacean exposure on top of the fish sauce.
