Fried Rice Ingredients- 5 peeled and deveined shrimp
- 3 stalks green onions
- 1/4 carrot
- 1/4 onion
- 1/3 packet enoki mushrooms
- 2 eggs
- 2 bowls warm cooked rice
Seasoning & Others- 1 Tbsp oyster sauce
- Pinch of black garlic salt (or regular salt)
- Cooking oil, as needed
- Pinch of toasted sesame seeds (for garnish, optional)
- 1 Tbsp oyster sauce
- Pinch of black garlic salt (or regular salt)
- Cooking oil, as needed
- Pinch of toasted sesame seeds (for garnish, optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare all the ingredients for the fried rice. For the shrimp, remove the shells and devein them, then rinse and pat dry. Finely chop the green onions, carrot, and onion. Separate the enoki mushrooms by trimming the root end and pulling them apart.
Step 2
Heat about 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Add the chopped green onions and sauté until fragrant and the oil is infused with their aroma. This will form the aromatic base for your fried rice.
Step 3
Add the prepared shrimp, chopped carrots, onions, and enoki mushrooms to the pan. Stir-fry over high heat until the vegetables are slightly tender-crisp and the shrimp turn pink. It’s important to maintain a good texture for each ingredient.
Step 4
Push the cooked shrimp and vegetables to one side of the pan. Add a little more cooking oil to the empty space and pour in the beaten eggs. Let the eggs cook for about 30 seconds until they are about two-thirds set.
Step 5
When the eggs are about two-thirds cooked, gently mix them with the shrimp and vegetables. Add two bowls of warm cooked rice and 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce. Use a spatula to break up any clumps of rice and stir everything together until well combined. The oyster sauce adds a deep umami flavor. Taste and add more oyster sauce if needed, or season with black garlic salt (or regular salt) to your preference.
Step 6
Continue to stir-fry over high heat until the rice grains are separated and any excess moisture has evaporated. This helps create a fluffy, non-sticky texture. Once the fried rice is done, turn off the heat and sprinkle a pinch of black garlic salt (or regular salt) over the top.
Step 7
Serve the finished shrimp fried rice in a bowl. For an extra touch, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds if desired. Enjoy your delicious meal!
