Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 cups cooked rice
  • 1 lb shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 carrots diced
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 green onions sliced
Seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Equipment

  • large skillet
  • wok

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook until pink, about 2-3 minutes; remove and set aside.
Cooking
  1. In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed, then add the diced carrots and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  2. Push the vegetables to one side, pour the beaten eggs into the empty space, and scramble them; once cooked, break them into small pieces.
  3. Add the cooked rice and frozen peas to the skillet, breaking up any clumps of rice. Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil. Stir well to combine all ingredients and ensure even seasoning.
  4. Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet. Add salt and black pepper to taste, then stir in the sliced green onions, cooking for one more minute until heated through.

Notes

For best results, use day-old cold rice, as it will be less sticky and fry better.
