Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups Cooked Jasmine Rice (preferably day-old)
  • 1 pound Shrimp, medium or large, peeled and deveined
  • 1 ½ cups Mixed Vegetables (peas, carrots, and bell peppers)
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
  • 2 Eggs, beaten
  • 2 teaspoons Sesame Oil (for drizzling)
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil (for cooking)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Chop the vegetables, mince the garlic, and ensure the shrimp are thawed if frozen.
  2. Heat Up Your Wok: In a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat, add vegetable oil. Wait until the oil shimmers.
  3. Cook the Shrimp: Add the shrimp in a single layer. Cook undisturbed for about two minutes until pink. Toss to cook evenly on both sides.
  4. Stir-Fry Vegetables: Add minced garlic and mixed vegetables to the pan. Stir-fry for about two minutes until the vegetables soften slightly but still retain crunch.
  5. Add the Rice: Break up any clumps of cooked jasmine rice as you add it to the pan. Pour in soy sauce and toss everything together until well combined.
  6. Finish It Off: Push ingredients to one side of the pan and add beaten eggs on the other side. Scramble until fully cooked before mixing everything together again. Drizzle sesame oil over the dish and serve hot.
