Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Ensure all ingredients are ready. Peel and devein the shrimp, chop the green onions, and have the cooked rice ready. It's best to use rice that has been cooked and cooled, ideally refrigerated overnight.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook until they are pink and opaque, approximately 2-3 minutes. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.

  2. 3

    Scramble the Eggs

    In the same skillet, add a little more oil if necessary. Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble until fully cooked. Remove and set aside with the shrimp.

  3. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the frozen peas and carrots, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

  4. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Return the cooked shrimp and scrambled eggs to the skillet. Add the cooked rice and mix well to combine all ingredients.

  5. 6

    Add the Sauce

    Pour in the soy sauce, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything together, ensuring the rice is evenly coated with the sauce.

  6. 7

    Finish with Green Onions

    Finally, add the chopped green onions and stir for another minute. Remove from heat.
