      Fried rice is a popular dish eaten by many individuals. It is usually paired with another side, most likely chicken but it can be paired with anything still be enjoyable and delicious for anybody to eat. While it is fried in oil, it is also mixed with a variety of vegetables including onions, peas, carrots and sometimes eggs. It also includes scallions and chopped meat. The meat options include pork, beef and usually shrimp. The meal originated from Indonesia as well. The dish is both delicious, filling and satisfying.

                                                                                                                                                                        The chef prepares it in large amounts. First the fresh vegetables are chopped and prepared to be added while another chef cooks the tender meat. Once all the individual ingredients are complete, they are placed in a large mixing bowl and stir-fried, which provides an even flavor. All components are cooked evenly.

            While the dish makes its way to the table to be served, a customer should take time to notice the unique taste and amazing flavors that the dish has. It would not even be possible to create the dish without the key ingredients. The ingredients are only made available to us by the Columbian exchange, which is the spread and exchange of plants, animals and diseases and technologies by the Americas. Rice, cows, pork and onions were all traded and transported to the Americas by Europe, Africa and Asia. The Americas also transported goods to them as well.
