Is traditional Chinese fried rice considered an entre or a side dish?

Hong Konger (technically Chinese) here. We usually consider it a dish of its own. I myself used to order a fried rice, without any other dishes, as lunch all the time.

But keep in mind Chinese cuisines are traditionally shared by many people. There is little to no concept of entree vs side dish. It's common to order many dishes, including fried rice, put on a big table and everyone get everything a little bit.
