What to serve
Since this has a protein already, you can easily skip a meat dish! We usually add steamed broccoli or snow peas when we don’t want to add another protein. When we do, I usually make teriyaki chicken or hibachi style shrimp. My kids love this dish on their own, but they do love shrimp sauce (or yum yum sauce) with it on occasion as well. No matter what you serve with this easy to make fried rice, it’s sure to be a delicious hit!
