• Whatever you have leftover in meats or steak goes great with this rice.

Add What You Like

This fried rice plain with just the egg in it is very good without any other additions.


It's the perfect side dish.


Get creative with whatever you order when at a restaurant, this will transform into your new favorite meal or side dish!

Stir Fry the Chicken and Shrimp

If you are going to add raw meats and seafood, stir fry them in garlic and olive oil until the meats and seafood are cooked through.


I prefer to cook any additions of seafood or meats in a separate pan first.


With the chicken and shrimp, I usually add bell peppers sliced and sometimes even broccoli as see in the photo and do the rice separately.


Snowpeas, shredded cabbage, water chestnuts, and shredded carrots go great as additions as well.


You can add whatever you like to this basic recipe for fried rice if the meats and seafood are cooked first.
