Author Notes

I love Chinese Food and adore seafood. I am always trying to come up with new variations of the two, but I always come back to my favorite, stir frying shrimp and scallops along with savory vegetables and ... oh, need I say more? This dish is so flavorful and a perfect dish when home alone and you want to cook for nobody else but yourself. —nonchefnick

If you would prepare your fried rice in a different fashion, we welcome you to submit a recipe! Until then, please respect the individuality of others' submissions -- thanks!

No. The rice needs to cool and rest after cooking and before being fried -- at least a few hours, and preferably a day or two. And where's the ginger? Plus, celery??!?
