Personal Tips
My kids love the fried rice when the rice is cooked with the chicken stock.
You can substitute the seafood ingredients with anchovies and you may use peppers, baby corn or any other vegetable you prefer instead of carrots. You can also replace the seafood with other vegetables to have a pure vegetarian dish.
