Recipe Ingredients

You’ll need the following ingredients to make this fried rice:

Seafood and lettuce fried rice ingredients.

Seafood: You can use fresh seafood or a frozen seafood mix. I used a frozen mix with shrimp, squid, and clams in this recipe.
Lettuce: I used iceberg lettuce, the most common type in Japan. Other varieties, such as romaine, also work great for this salad.
Sesame Oil: Adds a nutty aroma and authentic flavor. You can use other cooking oils, but sesame oil is highly recommended.
Cooked Rice: Leftover rice is ideal for making fried rice. I used frozen rice and reheated it before cooking.
Soy Sauce, Salt, and Pepper to season the rice.

Recipe Tips

If using frozen seafood mix, thaw it completely and pat dry with paper towels before cooking.
Leftover rice or frozen rice works best for fried rice. Just warm it up before stir-frying.
Use a large frying pan or wok to ensure the ingredients cook evenly and stir-fry properly.

Variations

Here are more tasty fried rice ideas to try:

Vegetarian Chahan: Skip the seafood and keep it plant-based with just vegetables and seasonings.
Natto Chahan: A must-try for natto lovers! Stir in natto for extra texture and flavor.
Garlic Fried Rice with Umeboshi: Add minced garlic and chopped umeboshi (pickled plum) for a punch of flavor with a tangy twist.

What To Serve With

To complement this seafood and lettuce fried rice, I recommend serving it with okra fries with soy sauce flavor, daikon salad, and egg miso soup.
