Notes

You can cook the rice the previous day. This will ensure that you have separated grains and really cooled rice.
You can use grilled chicken instead of making the chicken fresh.
Add in around 12 large shrimps, nicely cleaned, if you don't have any allergy like I do! Add it at the beginning along with the carrots, mushrooms and chicken.
