How to Make Green Onion Rice

  1. In a high-sided nonstick pot or wok, combine the cooked rice, shrimp, green onions, chili peppers, and water.
  2. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until heated through and most of the water is absorbed (approximately 5-7 minutes).
  3. Increase heat to high and stir for 1 minute to create a slight crispiness.
  4. Add the nuoc cham and stir vigorously to coat the rice evenly.
  5. Continue cooking over high heat, stirring constantly, until the remaining liquid evaporates and the rice is slightly caramelized (about 2-3 minutes).
  6. Remove from heat and serve immediately. Garnish with extra green onions, if desired.
