Liquid egg substitute - Disgusting!

Seriously, liquid egg substitute?!  Just eat real eggs, they're not bad for you!

In fact they're really good for you.

Then use real eggs! Geez, rude.

subtract the soy sauce, sugar, cornstarch, egg substitute and add real eggs, some cubed carrots and more peppers and you've got a deal.

I mix the eggs and soy sauce before I stir fry. Also, I'd have it on brown rice. Yum. Liquid egg substitute really is disgusting. I am with Martin Cross.

This sounds good, but I would totally modify it as well - no sugar or cornstarch and use real eggs. :) And I agree that serving it over brown rice sounds fab!

Egg substitutes are made up of 99% "real eggs," (egg whites) so they are "real eggs."

Really!?!? Are we two?  Egg substitute or Egg Beaters is 99% egg white.  The yolk with fat and cholesterol have just been removed.  It probably is cheaper to buy whole eggs and take the yolk out yourself; however, labeling the product "disgusting" is silly, like a child who wrinkles up their nose and won't eat vegetables unless you disguise them as something else.

Even so, the yoke is where all the nutrition is. Not to mention, it's probably more affordable to just buy the real deal, no?

To each their own, but I just personally would rather know I'm putting whole, natural foods in my body than something packaged in a bottle/carton/whatever.

split the difference?  use 2 egg whites from real eggs and 2 whole eggs.  Thats about equal to 1 1/2 cups.

cut out the sugar. Use Stevia.

add some bean sprouts.

add some orange bell pepper.

that would kick it for me!

Also try it with chicken for variety!

Why do all hungry girl recipes have such disastrous sodium counts? I mean, I understand that this is stir-fry, but every savory hungry girl recipe i've found has over 500 mg of sodium per serving.

I agree with the other comments.  More veggies, please!

really? they aren't just egg whites. A lot of them contain other chemicals to "enhance" flavor. Some of us (even the two year olds) don't want all the extra chemicals in our diets and would prefer to eat whole foods. Labeling it as disgusting isn't silly at all. And if you want your argument to have any weight to it, insulting other commenters because they have a differing opinion isn't a good way to go about it.

No need to get upset ... it's just eggs. If you like eggs, use eggs. If you prefer fake eggs, (or semi-real eggs, or otherwise modified eggs) use those. The idea is the same. The recipe can certainly be modified to anyone's taste! I'd use a leaner meat, and different or more veggies myself. I recently did a taste experiment and personally prefer real eggs. A) there are just some things I need the real thing or whole fat version of... and B) I'm trying to eat more whole foods and "cleaner" so the less processed the better. However, each to their own. I love laughing cow fake cheese wedges and those are all sorts of processed badness. :)

And some of us can't have the added fat and calories of yolks.  Split the difference.  You eat what you can and we'll eat what we can.

:) I even prefer "real egg whites" to those in a carton. I sometimes take the yolks out and give them to cat, or my husband :)

Hungry girl is all about cutting calories ...  you just need to modify to lower sodium.  I'm with you, though, I sure wish they would lower the sodium in the first place. 

I use these recipes for jumping board ideas.  I would probably cut the soy sauce to 1 tsp and totally get rid of the sugar.  If you use red or yellow bell pepper, you'll get some sweetness.

Agreed! I like to grate carrot, and cook onions low and slow (as well as peppers and summer squash - when in season) for some sweetness.

I LOVE Egg Beaters and use them in place of eggs since I have high cholesterol.  They are all protein too, which helps me not get hungry. 

I would add some fresh bean sprouts, and use green onions.  Oh, and I would add some beer or red wine to my marinade to cut the sodium down from the soy sauce.

Am actually making this tonight!

There are a lot of opinions here but has anyone actually made this recipe yet? How was it?

I made it last night and used my Egg Beaters in place of real eggs.  The dish turned out really good, but under-salted for my taste so I added more low sodium soy sauce after cooking.

Thanks. I like to keep ingredients around for emergency nights when dinner plans get changed. I think I will add this to the list :)
