SPICY SHRIMP FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Chill the rice in the refrigerator for at least three hours, ideally overnight.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a deep-sided, non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Whisk the eggs and add it to the pan. Rotate the pan and use a spatula to lift the edges of the egg to allow the uncooked parts to spread. Once it is set on one side, give the egg a flip. Cook for another minute, then slide the egg onto a cutting board. Fold the egg in half or thirds and cut into strips. Set aside.
• Return pan to the stove and heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp, season with fish sauce (or salt) and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp is pink and just cooked (do not overcook). Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
• Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in the pan over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, broccoli, corn, and bell pepper, and sauté, stirring occasionally. Cover while it cooks to allow the broccoli to steam and turn bright green.
• When the onions are translucent and the broccoli fork tender, add the rice, soy sauce and chili garlic sauce. If the rice is too hard, you can add in a little water, a tablespoon at a time, to help soften. Stir to combine.
• Add the egg, shrimp and sesame oil to the pan. Stir to combine. Adjust the seasoning with salt and chili sauce, if necessary.
• Transfer to a serving plate and garnish with scallions. Serve immediately.

EASY HOMEMADE SHRIMP FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Heat sesame oil and olive oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook until they are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, about 3 minutes, flipping halfway through.
• Remove shrimp from the skillet using a slotted spoon, allowing oils and cooking juices to remain in the skillet. Place shrimp on a plate and set aside.
• Add peas and carrots and corn to the skillet and cook, stirring intermittently, until vegetables begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir for 1 minute. Push vegetables to the side of the skillet, pour eggs into the other side, and cook to scramble, stirring as necessary, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Stir shrimp, rice, and green onions into the skillet. Drizzle evenly with soy sauce, season with salt and pepper, and stir to combine. Cook until shrimp is reheated through, about 2 minutes.

AUTHENTIC FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Measure out cold rice into a bowl, and break up any clumps with your hands, to separate the grains.
• Mince the garlic and onions, and set aside. Beat eggs, and set aside. Combine the fish sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar in a small bowl, and set aside. Keep all of the ingredients, within reach, on a workspace, beside your wok.
• Heat wok, over medium high heat, until quite hot. Add 2 tablespoons of oil, and turn wok, to coat sides.
• Add the minced red onion and garlic, and stir-fry, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add meat, if desired, and stir-fry until color changes.
• Add eggs, and stir- fry until slightly solid, about 30 seconds.
• Add rice, and combine well, add peas and green onions, mix, then add mixture of fish sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. Mix well, and stir- fry just until rice is heated through.
• Remove from heat. Squeeze lime juice over the top, if desired.

THAI SPICY BASIL FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Whisk together oyster sauce, fish sauce, soy sauce, and sugar. Set aside.
• Spray a wok or large frying pan with olive oil spray and heat over medium-high heat.
• Add the garlic and chili (or serrano) peppers and stir fry for 30 seconds.
• Add the red pepper and onion and stir fry until the onion is translucent. If using chicken or beef, add it with the the onion and red pepper. Cook until chicken is done, or beef is about medium.
• Push ingredients in the wok/pan aside and quickly scramble the egg.
• Add the oyster sauce mixture and stir everything together.
• Raise the heat to high and add the chilled rice. Stir until blended with the sauce and other ingredients, breaking up clumps of rice with the back of a spoon.
• Add more soy, oyster, or fish sauce, if necessary (or to taste).
• When everything is blended together and rice is hot, remove from heat and stir in the basil.
• Garnish with cilantro, if desired.

CHINESE FRIED RICE WITH SHRIMP AND PEAS

Steps:

• Beat one of the eggs in a small bowl and salt lightly. Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil over medium-high heat in a small nonstick frying pan, and add the beaten egg. Swirl in the pan until the egg forms an even coat, like a thin pancake. When the egg is cooked through, roll up and slide onto a plate. Cut in thin strips (you can use a scissors or a knife). Set aside.
• Heat a wok or large, heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until a drop of water evaporates upon contact. Add the remaining oil and swirl around the pan, then add the shrimp and cook about one minute, stirring and tossing with a spatula or wok scoop until just about cooked through and pink. Add the garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the sherry, and stir everything together. When the sizzling stops, pour in the remaining beaten egg. Stir-fry until scrambled, and add the rice. Cook the rice - scooping it up, then pressing it into the pan and scooping it up again - for about two minutes. Stir in white and lighter green parts of the scallions, the peas and the soy sauce. Stir together for about half a minute, and transfer to a warm serving platter. Sprinkle the egg strips, scallion greens and cilantro over the top. Serve hot.
