How to Make Shrimp And Egg Fried Rice

  1. If using frozen shrimp, thaw under cold running water. Peel, devein, and remove tails.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add shrimp (or pork/scallops) and stir-fry until pink and cooked through. Remove from wok and set aside.
  4. Add minced garlic and chopped white onion to the wok and sauté until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Add the mixed vegetables and stir-fry until tender-crisp, about 3-5 minutes.
  6. Push the vegetables to the sides of the wok, creating a well in the center.
  7. Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble gently, breaking them into smaller pieces.
  8. Add the cooked rice to the wok and stir to combine with the eggs and vegetables.
  9. Return the cooked shrimp (or pork/scallops) to the wok.
  10. Add the sliced green onions, five-spice powder, and soy sauce. Stir to combine.
  11. Drizzle in the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  12. Add vegetable oil if needed for extra oiliness.
  13. Serve hot and enjoy!
