Images used edit
I know that the 3 images in the gallery weren't made in China but in Western countries. They're not very authentic and only representative of the local (exported) variants of Chinese cuisine. I also suspect that the main image is a home-made version, made by someone who is not actually Chinese at all. The presentation of the fried rice just doesn't add up and although it does its best to look Chinese-y, no Chinese would ever present it in this manner. - Takeaway (talk) 05:21, 17 June 2017 (UTC)
Although the dish in the video was made by a Chinese person, bell peppers aren't traditionally used in Chinese cuisine, and olive oil and Japanese Kikkoman sauce are never used. I suspect that the person who made it lives somewhere in North America and wanted to make a modern, health-conscious version of fried rice for a Western audience somewhere using whatever ingredients they could find locally. In other words, not authentic Chinese. - Takeaway (talk) 05:30, 17 June 2017 (UTC)
