Ingredients
  

Group: Ingredients
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice (day-old rice works best)
  • 200 g shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • 1 medium onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 Tbsp. soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp. oyster sauce
  • 1 Tbsp. curry powder
  • 2-3 Tbsp. sesame oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • green onions for garnish
  • lime wedges for serving

Equipment

  • Large skillet

Method
 

  1. Start by ensuring your jasmine rice is cooked and cooled.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of sesame oil. Toss in the diced onion and garlic, stirring until they become fragrant and the onion is translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Mix in the red bell pepper and the frozen peas and carrots. Stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes until the veggies are tender but still vibrant.
  5. Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet. Crack the eggs into the empty space and scramble them quickly. Combine the eggs with the veggies once cooked.
  6. Add the cooled jasmine rice to the skillet. Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and curry powder, mixing everything together thoroughly.
  7. Add the cooked shrimp back into the skillet, mixing gently. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and let cook for another 2-3 minutes on medium heat until heated through.
  8. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve with lime wedges on the side.

Notes

Using day-old rice ensures a perfect texture that’s not mushy. Prep all ingredients ahead for a smooth cooking process.
