How to make fried rice?
Fried rice is prepared with a base of cooked white rice mixed with various kinds of meats, seafood, vegetables, scrambled eggs and soy sauce.
So we can get a perfect fried rice, the white rice we are going to use must be prepared from the previous day so it will be looser, but it is convenient to cook it without any salt and oil.
In this way, when integrating it with the rest of the ingredients, the flavor will not be altered. Remember that the other main ingredient is the soy sauce which is salty itself.

How to prepare Cuban Fried Rice
The first thing we will do is get all the ingredients ready, so we will crush the garlic cloves and chop the onion.
We are also going to fry the shrimp for only 3 minutes after peppering them and cut the ham into small cubes.
If we are going to use pork, we cut it into small pieces, season it with salt and pepper and fry it.
Beat the eggs and prepare them in a pan as scrambled eggs with a pinch of salt. Now we set aside everything for the next step.
It is time to integrate everything; we will add the 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a wide pan so that all the fried rice fits. Heat up the oil on medium heat.
When it is hot, add the crushed garlic and chopped onion, sauté for 1 minute.
Then we add half of the rest of the ingredients except the eggs, starting with the ham or the fried pork, in addition to half of the shrimp, the white rice, the corn and the peas, sauté so that they all mix and add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce; keep stirring everything to prevent it from sticking.
The moment they change color, we add the rest of the ingredients in the same order and finally the soy sauce that we had left over. We stir to integrate everything so that the rice has a loose consistency.
Finally, add the scrambled eggs, sauté once more, turn off the heat and let stand for a few minutes before serving.
