Chaulafan de pollo or Ecuadorian chicken fried rice

Some time ago I posted a recipe for arroz on pollo or chicken rice; while it was popular and I received good feedback on that recipe, the most common feedback was along the lines of “this is great, but where’s the other arroz con pollo or chaulafan de pollo?”. I’ve been meaning to post this for a while, sorry it’s so late for those requested it (but better late than never, right?).

Chaulafan is an Ecuadorian version of fried rice. There are many different types of chaulafan: shrimp, chicken, pork, mixed.   In most major cities in Ecuador you will find chifas or Chinese restaurants, these are usually the best places to eat chaulafan; you can either eat at the restaurant or take it to go.
