Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 1/2 pound (225 grams) shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/2 pound (225 grams) steak, thinly sliced
- 2 large eggs, beaten
Vegetables and Rice:
- 2 cups cooked jasmine or basmati rice
- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots, thawed
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 green onions, sliced
Sauces and Oils:
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Instructions
- Prep the chilled rice, ensuring grains are loose and separate. Season steak slices with salt and pepper.
- Sear steak in a hot skillet with vegetable oil at medium-high heat, cooking 3-4 minutes until browned. Transfer to a side plate.
- In the same skillet, quickly cook shrimp for 2-3 minutes until they turn vibrant pink. Remove and set aside with steak.
- Sauté diced onions and minced garlic until fragrant and translucent, approximately 1-2 minutes. Add peas and carrots, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.
- Create a cleared space in the skillet, pour beaten eggs, and scramble until fully cooked. Incorporate eggs with vegetable mixture.
- Introduce cold rice to the skillet, breaking down any remaining clusters. Mix thoroughly with vegetables and eggs.
- Reintegrate steak and shrimp into the rice mixture, stirring to distribute evenly.
- Drizzle soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil over the rice. Stir until ingredients are well-coated and heated through. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Finish by sprinkling sliced green onions on top. Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- Chill rice beforehand to prevent clumping and ensure perfect texture for authentic fried rice.
- Pat shrimp and steak dry before cooking to achieve beautiful golden-brown sear and prevent steaming.
- Use high heat when stir-frying to create delicious wok hei flavor and prevent soggy ingredients.
- Customize protein options by substituting steak and shrimp with chicken, tofu, or plant-based alternatives for dietary flexibility.
