A gout-friendly dish when made simply with eggs and vegetables, but its purine and sodium content rises with rich gravy.

Added by vblinden

Good
  • Eggs and vegetables are very low in purines, making a simple version of this dish an excellent low-purine protein choice. Light soy-based sauce may even offer modest uric-acid-lowering benefits.
Bad
  • Deep-fried preparation, heavy brown gravy (may contain chicken stock, oyster sauce, or high-fructose corn syrup), and add-ins like shrimp, pork, or beef raise purine and sodium levels, increasing gout risk. Limit restaurant versions.
