# Steps to Make This:
01 -
Dice all vegetables, whisk eggs with soy sauce, and combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil to create the sauce. Ensure shrimp is cleaned, deveined, and marinate with soy sauce, pressed garlic, and chicken broth.
02 -
Heat a wok or large non-stick pan over medium-high heat with peanut oil. Sear shrimp for approximately 2 minutes per side until opaque. Remove and set aside.
03 -
Lower heat to medium and add peanut oil. Sauté diced onions and carrots for a few minutes, then add peas and soy sauce. Cook until vegetables soften.
04 -
Push vegetables aside, add garlic and grated ginger to the center of the pan, sauté briefly until fragrant, then combine with vegetables.
05 -
Move vegetables to the side, pour whisked egg mixture into the center, cover, and cook for about one minute. Scramble eggs and mix with vegetables.
06 -
Fluff rice and add to pan, mixing thoroughly. Return shrimp to the pan and add chopped scallions. Gently combine all ingredients.
07 -
Pour prepared sauce evenly over the mixture and fold gently to ensure even coating. Sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes before serving.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
For best texture and flavor, avoid reheating shrimp fried rice in the microwave to prevent drying. Instead, reheat gently in a pan with a splash of chicken broth and soy sauce for moisture.
