Cooking steps

1

Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a large wok over medium-high heat. Scramble the eggs until just set and remove to a plate.
2

Add another 1 tbsp oil to the wok. Increase heat to high, add the cold cooked rice, breaking up any clumps. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until the rice is heated through and slightly crispy at the edges.
3

Add chopped green onions, then return the scrambled eggs to the rice, tossing to evenly distribute. Transfer the fried rice to a platter and keep warm.
4

In the cleaned wok, heat the remaining 1 tbsp oil over medium-high. Add shrimp, scallops, and chicken. Stir-fry until the proteins turn opaque, about 2–3 minutes.
5

Add snow peas, carrot, and shiitake mushrooms. Stir-fry 2 minutes until just tender.
6

Pour in chicken broth, soy sauce, oyster sauce, white pepper, and salt. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
7

Mix cornstarch with a few tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Gradually stir it into the simmering mixture and cook until the sauce thickens, about 1–2 minutes. Finish with a drizzle of sesame oil.
8

Pour the hot seafood and chicken gravy evenly over the fried rice on the platter. Serve immediately for best texture.

Personalized Q&A

Q. What's the key ingredient in this Fujian Fried Rice recipe?

The key ingredient is cold cooked white rice, which forms the golden, slightly crisp base essential to Fujian fried rice. The seafood and chicken mix adds a signature protein boost, but the rice is central to capturing the classic texture.

Q. How do I achieve the right texture for the rice and sauce?

Start by using day-old cold rice to ensure the grains stay separate when stir-fried, becoming slightly crisp on the edges. When topping with the thick seafood gravy, pour it just before serving so the rice retains its texture under the sauce.

Q. What steps help prevent overcooking the seafood?

Stir-fry shrimp, scallops, and chicken over medium-high heat only until they turn opaque—about 2–3 minutes. This keeps them tender and juicy before simmering briefly in the gravy.

Q. How many calories and how much protein are in one serving?

Each serving contains approximately 390 kcal and 21 grams of protein, making this a protein-rich option for family meals. The dish also provides 54g of carbs and 9g of fat per serving.

Q. Does this dish fit into a Mediterranean or diabetic-friendly diet?

This Fujian fried rice includes plenty of seafood, vegetables, and moderate sodium seasoning; it's tagged as 'mediterranean' and 'diabetic friendly' because per-serving carbs are under 60g and it uses low-sodium soy sauce and lean proteins.
