Ingredients

  • Peanut oil or any veg oil would work
  • ΒΌ lb shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup carrots diced
  • 1 cup green peas
  • 4 cups cooked white rice must be a day or two day old rice
  • 1 teaspoon garlic chilli paste
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce + 1 tablespoon water
  • chilli flakes to taste
  • green onions or scallions for garnish
  • sesame oil just a drizzle for flavor

Instructions

  • In a pan add a bit of peanut oil and cook shrimps one minute on each side until golden brown. Remove to a clean plate. (We will add the shrimps back and fully cook them with the rice.)
  • In the same pan, add about 2 tablespoon more of oil. Crack a fresh egg and scramble it.
  • Next, add in the carrots and peas and sautee for a 2-3 minutes on high heat. Add a bit more oil if necessary.
  • Next, add in the rice, along with the shrimps and stir to combine.
  • To spice up the rice, add in garlic chilli paste along with oyster sauce mixed with a tablespoon of water.
  • Stir the rice really well on high heat for a 5 mins but be sure to be gentle so as not to break up the grains.
  • Add chilli flakes if you like spicy fried rice. I DO!
  • Garnish with scallions and a drizzle of sesame oil. Sesame oil will give it that take-out flavor instantly.
  • Stir and serve!
