Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/2 lb small shrimp (cooked, peeled, deveined and tails removed)
  • 4 cups cooked white rice (that is at least one day old)
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots mix (thawed)
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 small white onion (diced)
  • 1 green onion (sliced)

  • 2 eggs
  • 1/8 teaspoon white pepper
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions

  1. Heat a wok or large pan and add a small amount of vegetable oil. In a bowl, beat 2 eggs, then pour them into the pan and scramble until fully cooked. Remove the eggs from the pan and set aside.
  2. Add a little more vegetable oil to the wok. Stir-fry the white onions, green onions, garlic, peas, and carrots until the vegetables reach your preferred tenderness. Drizzle in a bit of sesame oil, then add the cooked white rice. Stir-fry the rice for about 2 minutes.
  3. While continuing to stir-fry, add fish sauce (or oyster sauce) along with soy sauce. Season with white pepper. Return the scrambled eggs to the wok, add the shrimp, and mix everything together. Stir-fry until the shrimp and eggs are heated through.
