Han Fried Rice

acquire 4 cups white rice (i had an idea if you do not have a rice cooker then buy some white rice at any Chinese restaurant, leave in fridge over night should be good to go)

Also I have tried different meats, ham, chicken and shrimp they are all great our family favorite is shrimp.

ingredients:

8 oz small shrimp
1/2 tsp salt (this is only for the shrimp)
pepper
1/2 tsp cornstarch (this is only for the shrimp)
2 tablespoons olive oil divided
3 eggs beaten
1 bunch green onions minced
4 cups cooked rice
3/4 cup frozen peas and carrots
1 Tablespoon soy sauce (i use more than this)
1 teaspoon sesame oil

method:

In a bowl, toss raw pealed shrimp with the salt, pepper, cornstarch, let marinate for 10 min at room temp. heat up walk or stir fry pan on high heat. when the pan is hot enough for a bead of water to instantly sizzle and evaporate and 1 tablespoon of the oil and swirl to coat.

Add the shrimp, quickly spreading out around the cooking surface area so that they are not overlapping. Let fry, untouched for 30 sec, flip over and let the other side fry for 30 sec. or until about 80 % cooked through, remove the shrimp from the pan onto a plate, leaving as much oil in the pan as possible

Turn the heat to med, let the pan heat up again, Add the eggs, stirring in a quick motion to break up and scramble the eggs. when the eggs are almost cooked through put on plate with shrimp

Use paper towel to wipe pan and return to high heat with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil swirl to cook.when the oil is hot add the onions, fry until fragrant, 30 sec Add the rice stir well to mix onions throughout. spread the rice all around the pan let rice heat up untouched about 1-2 min then toss rice again, spread out on pan.

drizzle soy sauce all around the rice and toss. Add the peas and carrots the eggs and shrimp and the sesame oil, tossing to mix the rice evenly with all the ingredients. Let everything heat up again until the rice grains are hot again taste and add more soy sauce if desired.

serves 4
I like to put 1 clove minced garlic in with the green onions, and also i like to put different veggies in like frozen broccoli
Enjoy!
