Method

Preparation

Prepare the Shrimp

In a bowl, season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Prepare the Vegetables

Chop the green onions, dice the carrots, and set aside.

Prepare the Rice

Ensure your rice is cooked and cold (preferably day-old) to prevent clumping.

Cooking

Cook the Shrimp

In a large skillet or wok, heat a tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink and are cooked through, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Scramble the Eggs

In the same skillet, add the beaten eggs. Stir gently until fully cooked, then remove and set aside with the shrimp.

Stir-fry the Vegetables

Add another tablespoon of sesame oil if needed. Add minced garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then add the carrots and peas, stir-frying for about 3-4 minutes until softened.

Combine Ingredients

Add the cooked rice to the skillet and mix well with the vegetables. Stir in the cooked shrimp and scrambled eggs.

Add Sauce

Pour in the soy sauce and mix everything thoroughly. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

Finish with Green Onions

Finally, add the chopped green onions and give a quick stir before serving.
