Shrimp Fried Rice 虾仁炒饭
Ingredients
For the rice (makes about 4½ cups of cooked rice):
- 2 cups Uncooked jasmine rice
- 1½ cups Water or necessary water for rice cooker
- 1 tbsp Dark soy sauce
- 2 tsp Light soy sauce
- ½ tsp Turmeric
For the dish:
- 2 Eggs beaten
- 300 g Shrimp peeled and deveined
- 1 Onion diced
- ¼ tsp Sugar
- ¼ tsp Sesame oil
- Freshly ground white pepper
- 1 cup Chopped snow peas or other greens
- 1 Scallion chopped
- 1 tbsp Shaoxing wine
Instructions
- Combine the drained rice with 1 ½ cups water, the soy sauces and turmeric powder in a thick-bottomed pot or your rice cooker. Cook the rice per our instructions for perfect stovetop rice or press the button on your rice cooker!
- When the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork or rice paddle.
- Heat your wok over medium high heat. Add oil, and add the eggs, scrambling them until they’re just cooked.
- You can start scooping them up when they look like they are almost done, and put them back into the same bowl you mixed them in. Set aside.
- Heat the wok until just smoking, and spread oil around the perimeter of the wok. Spread the shrimp out in a single layer, and let them sear for 20 seconds. Stir fry the shrimp until opaque, transfer them back to their bowl, and set aside.
- With the wok over medium high heat, add oil again, and sauté the onions until translucent.
- Add the rice, using your metal spatula to flatten and break up any remaining clumps.
- Once the rice is warmed, add the sugar, sesame oil, and freshly ground white pepper, and mix with a scooping motion until the rice is evenly coated with the seasonings.
- The rice should be hot by this time. Now add the shrimp and snow peas, and stir fry for another 30 seconds.
- Add the eggs and scallions and continue stir-frying the rice for another 30 seconds. Gather all of the rice into the middle of the wok to let the sides of the wok heat up.
- After about 20 seconds, spread the Shaoxing wine around the perimeter of the wok, and stir-fry for another 20 seconds. This step gives that little extra wok hei that you taste when you get fried rice from a good Chinese restaurant!
- DONE!
