Ingredients for A Different Style Fried Rice
- 4 large eggs

- 1/2 pound cooked shrimp
- Chorizo Sausage
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- Cooked White Rice
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- Sherry Wine
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
How to Make A Different Style Fried Rice
- Heat a medium nonstick skillet over high heat. Coat with cooking spray.
- Crack 2 large eggs into a bowl. Pour half the eggs into the hot skillet, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook until set, about 1 minute.
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Carefully flip the eggs and cook for another minute.
- Transfer the cooked egg to a cutting board. Repeat steps 2-3 with the remaining eggs.
- Once cool, tightly roll up each egg omelet and slice crosswise into 1/4-inch thick strips.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil over high heat.
- Add 1/2 pound cooked shrimp, 4 ounces chorizo sausage (removed from casing and roughly chopped), and 1/2 cup chopped onion. Cook, stirring frequently, until shrimp is opaque and chorizo is browned, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add 2 cups cooked rice (day-old is best!), 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon dry sherry. Stir to combine.
- Cook, stirring constantly, until heated through and the rice is nicely coated with the sauce, about 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in the sliced egg strips.
- Garnish with 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
