"I like serving this under a curry, as it adds several more layers of flavor. Day-old rice makes the best fried rice, btw. This recipe is very tweakable, and I change it around often... maybe you can use a diced mango or nectarine instead of dried cranberries, or peas instead of spinach, or chopped cashews instead of slivered almonds, etc."
