Fried rice or Fry rice is a must in my country. A good fried rice can go down (well) with almost anything. I wanted to show you how versatile this dish can be and to also get that fear of “not knowing “how to cook seafood out of your heads. Seafood is very easy to cook it simply just needs your attention.

The seafood mix is a wonderful introduction if you are new to learning. The pieces are relatively smaller so they cook at a faster time than the regular sized seafood. Infusing local chadon beni with the seafood was just so delicious. Mixing both fried rice and seafood made a perfect match. I do hope you enjoy this one and don’t forget to be creative and have fun while you’re cooking.
