However, by attacking mentions of egg fried rice by famous chefs and other online influencers, the nationalist users have inadvertently promoted the very rumor their government is trying to quash.
Celebrity chef Wang Gang says he won't make egg fried rice again.
But can it be a coincidence every single time?” a comment said of Wang’s egg fried rice videos.
But some have also come to Wang’s defense, noting that the chef has posted egg fried rice in other months throughout the year.
“Why don’t we clearly stipulate a complete ban on eating and making egg fried rice in November, or simply retire egg fried rice from Chinese cruisine all togther,” another supporter quipped.
