Hi Ellen, For a local international food festival, I am preparing small boat sized bowls of fried rice, and foil wrapped chicken. I need to serve 300, so I took a full serving and cut it in half. This is what I figured out. Would love your advice: 100 cups cold rice 18 cups chopped pork 18 c peas 40 chopped carrots 5 cups of oil/ sesame and peanut 75 green onions 75 eggs 9 c soy sauce or oyster sauce For the Chicken, I figured I would have 600 foil wrapped chicken pieces made for 30 lbs of thigh meat. WHat do you think?? |

I think you are short of chicken, this is not even an ounce per person. 1 ounce would be 38-40 pounds, and I might even go 1 1/2 ounces. Also, suggest you look at my "practically perfect fried rice" recipe. Even assuming you made 12 small servings instead of 4 main dish servings, your amounts look short. Check it out. You can write back. |

Thanks Ellen! I recalculated that for 1 cup of fried rice each for 300 people, I would need: 160 cups cooked rice 80 c vegetables 80 eggs 40 cloves of garlic 40 cups of Chinese sausage 20 small onions 8 cups of oil 10 cups of green onion For 300 foil wrapped chicken I will figure 2 oz each, so 40 lbs. Thanks!!! |

Better. Do please read the pratically perfect fried rice recipe and hints for guidance on the technique for best results, such as the split handling of the eggs. |
