Chicken and Shrimp Rice

This recipe is a bit of an update to the chicken fried rice previously posted. I just love the flavours of Asian cooking ingredients like soy sauce, fish oil, sesame oil, etc. With this recipe I decided to add a little more extra of these Asian cooking staples.

Shrimp brings another slight different taste to the dish. Perhaps being raised on the east coast of Canada, seafood is in my blood just a wee bit! As always, adjust the ingredients to your taste. Salt is not needed as soy sauce will introduce enough salt to the dish!

When cooking the chicken and shrimp, ensure you cook it in the pan until just done, or in the case of chicken, no pink. The chicken and shrimp will continue to cook a little when added back to the dish. Try not to overcook but ensure safe cooking habits.

Hint! Cook the rice the day before you make this recipe. The rice will be less sticky. Cook on!
