Simple Shrimp Fried Rice

Number served:

Ingredients:

  • brown rice - 3/4 cup
  • hoison sauce - 1 tablespoon
  • soy sauce - 1 teaspoon
  • canola oil - 1 teaspoon
  • sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
  • raw shrimp - 8 medium
  • egg - 1 large
  • fresh ginger - 1 1/3 tablespoon
  • frozen peas - 1 cup
  • carrots (raw and finely chopped) - 3/4 cup
  • brown onions (finely chopped) - 1/4 cup

Directions:

This tasty and delicious recipe has two sources of protein: shrimp and egg. I vary the ratio of shrimp and egg, depending on what I feel like. You can leave out the shrimp and double the number of eggs also. The brown rice takes a while to cook so start that in your rice cooker (or in a tightly covered pan on the stove) cooking as per the package directions. Optional: when done put the rice in a large bowl to cool off. After the rice is cooked: Put about half the sesame oil in a non-stick pan, heat, beat the eggs and fry. Set aside on a plate for later. Use the rest of the sesame oil to fry the shrimp. When they are done, put them on the plate with the cooked egg. Hopefully while frying the eggs and shrimp you have already removed the skin and chopped the onion and ginger, and finely chopped the carrots - if not do that now. Add canola oil to the non-stick pan and cook the finely sliced or chopped up ginger and carrots for two minutes - then add the onions and frozen peas and continue frying for a two minutes. Add the rice, and fry everything in the pan for another minute then add the already cooked egg and shrimp and keep frying for another minute. Then turn off the heat. Mix in the hoison and soy sauces and stir well.

Serve immediately.
