Notes
- Use rice that has been in the fridge. Don't use rice that was just cooked.
- Pork or chicken can be used instead of shrimp.
- Eliminate all meat, if you prefer a Vegetarian Fried Rice.
- Another way to cook the eggs, is to add it last over rice and mix well. I still prefer cooking the eggs separately.
