Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1 cup shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn)
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 2 eggs, beaten
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the Pan: Heat the vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat to prepare for cooking the shrimp and other ingredients.
- Cook the Shrimp: Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the pan and cook until they turn pink and opaque, about 2 to 3 minutes, ensuring they are fully cooked but tender.
- Scramble the Eggs: Push the cooked shrimp to one side of the pan. Pour the beaten eggs into the empty side and scramble them until cooked through and fluffy.
- Add Mixed Vegetables: Stir in the mixed vegetables and cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow them to soften and heat evenly.
- Incorporate Rice and Soy Sauce: Add the cooked rice to the pan and pour in the soy sauce. Stir everything together well to combine flavors and evenly distribute the ingredients.
- Add Green Onions and Seasoning: Mix in the chopped green onions and season the fried rice with salt and pepper to your taste, stirring to blend all the flavors.
- Serve Hot: Once everything is heated through and seasoned to your liking, serve the shrimp fried rice hot for a delicious and satisfying meal.
Notes
- Use day-old rice for best texture as it is less sticky and fries better.
- You can substitute shrimp with chicken or tofu for variety.
- Adjust soy sauce quantity to control saltiness.
- Feel free to add garlic or ginger for extra flavor.
- Leftovers store well and can be reheated quickly in a pan or microwave.
