How it's used
This dish is a staple in local cha chaan tengs and is widely considered the gold standard for testing a chef's wok skills. Unlike some other fried rice variations, it is defined by the inclusion of char siu, shrimp, and egg, providing a distinct balance of textures. It is almost exclusively ordered as a main meal rather than a side dish.
