Ingredients
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 cups cooked rice (preferably cold)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 2 eggs, beaten
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 green onions, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

- In the same skillet, add the remaining vegetable oil and sauté the onion and garlic until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the peas and carrots and cook for another 2 minutes until tender.
- Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the beaten eggs. Scramble the eggs until fully cooked.
- Add the rice to the skillet and stir to combine with the vegetables and eggs.
- Pour the soy sauce, sesame oil, oyster sauce, and rice vinegar over the rice and mix well.
- Add the cooked shrimp back to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat everything through.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
Notes
- Use cold, day-old rice for the best texture.
- If you prefer, you can substitute the shrimp with chicken or beef.
- Adjust the soy sauce and sesame oil to your taste preference.
- For a spicier version, add some red pepper flakes or chili sauce.
