Never mind (I mean if anyone has the answer it would be great in case it happens again) I gave the fried rice to the chickens who love it and must now find somethign else for dinner.

Think of it as the same as adding too much salt: the only thing you can really do to fix it is add lots more of the other ingredients to dilute it a bit.

I know if you over salt soup, adding a potato into it will suck up some of the extra salt. I wonder if little chunks added in and then removed when they are soft would have helped? I would have just added more of the other ingredients, though.

For future reference, fish sauce has about 3x the sodium of regular soy sauce per unit of volume... so use about 1/3 as much as you would soy if subbing it in a recipe.
