Hi Ash, fried rice is a very flexible dish allowing you to change out the proteins and seasonings. People in East Asia make it as a way to use up random veggies/protein and leftover rice, so there isn't one fixed way to do it. This is a basic shrimp fried rice recipe I like to use but how I season it changes based on what I have on hand and what I'm in the mood for. Soy sauce and oyster sauce are both legit ways to season it. Here are some other fried rice variations if you want some more inspiration: https://norecipes.com/#search/q=fried%20rice

Do you ever add additional sauces to the fried rice along with XO sauce - for example soy sauce and oyster sauce?

I see lots of recipes that use a combination of sauces, is there a generic 'rule' that should be followed?

Thanks,
Ash

As someone who loves spicy food, I don't think it's very spicy at all, but if you don't like things hot, you might not like it. You could use something like oyster sauce instead to get the seafood flavor without heat (you'll want to reduce the amount to maybe 1 tablespoon + salt if it needs it).

You're welcome Xiu Ying! Thank you for taking the time to drop me a note. Have a great week!
