Preparation

  • In a bowl, season the shrimp lightly with salt and pepper.

  • Reduce the heat to medium. Push the carrots and onions to the edges of the skillet, forming a well in the center. Add sesame oil and then pour in the beaten eggs. Scramble the eggs with the carrots and onions for 1 minute.
  • Stir in the cooked white rice, season lightly with salt and pepper, then add garlic powder, soy sauce, and oyster sauce. Stir well until the rice is evenly coated and browned.

  • Add the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss everything together.

Serving

Notes

This dish pairs well with a simple side salad or can be enjoyed on its own. For best texture, use cold, leftover rice. Feel free to add any other vegetables on hand or make it spicier with red pepper flakes or hot sauce.
