Skirt Steak

Shrimp Fried Rice

Scallion Nuoc Cham

Method

Preparing Skirt Steak

  1. 1

    Marinate the Steak

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Rub the mixture all over the skirt steak and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Steak

    Preheat a grill or skillet over high heat. Cook the skirt steak for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Remove from heat and let it rest before slicing.

Making Shrimp Fried Rice

  1. 3

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a large pan or wok, heat some oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic and ginger, and sauté for about 30 seconds. Add the shrimp and cook until pink, about 2-3 minutes. Remove shrimp and set aside.

  2. 4

    Fry the Rice

    In the same pan, add a bit more oil if needed. Add diced carrot and cook for 2 minutes. Push the veggies to the side, add beaten eggs and scramble them. Once cooked, add the rice, green peas, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Stir well.

  3. 5

    Combine

    Add the cooked shrimp back into the rice mixture. Toss everything together and stir in chopped scallions. Cook for an additional minute.

Preparing Scallion Nuoc Cham

  1. 6

    Mix the Sauce

    In a bowl, combine fish sauce, water, lime juice, sugar, chopped scallions, and minced chili pepper. Stir until sugar is dissolved.
