User's tip

Flickr user avlxyz, who knows his Chinese food (and his camera!), suggests adding chopped Spam to special fried rice. Sounds a good idea, I might even chop up a tin and freeze in small quantities, just for this purpose.

Variations

Pre soak some dried shrimp in just boiled water for 15 - 30 minutes to rehydrate, roughly chop and add with the vegetables for a more authentic dish.

Instead of bacon, slice up a little Chinese sausage for an interesting change.
