What foods goes with fried rice?
Fried rice is a complete dish in itself.
If you have fried rice left over and want to use it to accompany a main meal, you could use it with any meal you'd normally have with pasta, rice, potatoes, and so on.
But if you're making or buying fried rice for a meal, enjoy it as it is, as a main meal, entree or snack.
If you feel it needs more you can add practically any meat or vegetables to it, provided you don't overwhelm it. Cooked chicken, diced, is a great addition to cooked fried rice, as are shrimps; peas can also be added: whatever's in your fridge.
