Yin yang fried rice (also transliterated as yuenyeung fried rice or yuanyang fried rice; Chinese: 鴛鴦炒飯; pinyin: yuānyāng chǎofàn; Jyutping: jyun1 joeng1 caau2 faan6) is a rice dish from Hong Kong, consisting of a plate of rice with béchamel sauce and tomato sauce.

The name "yuenyeung", which refers to mandarin ducks, is a symbol of conjugal love in Chinese culture, as the birds usually appear in pairs and the male and female look very different. This same connotation of a "pair" of two unlike items is used to name this rice. Due to the meaning of love, this dish often appears in the wedding dinner.
