Return shrimp and scallops to pan. Stir cooking sauce, pour into pan, and cook, stirring, until sauce bubbles and thickens. Turn off heat, cover and keep hot while you fry sizzling rice as recipe directs. Turn seafood mixture into a preheated bowl.

Bring hot fried rice cakes to the table on a platter and immediately pour over seafood mixture.
