Notes
You can use shredded or diced chicken, beef, pork, or add shrimps to the rice according to your taste. These can be added to the recipe right after you add the rice to the sauté pan.
Fried rice goes well with a number of oriental chicken and vegetable recipes. But it can be enjoyed on its own as a meal because of all the vegetables and meat it packs in.
