Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 pound shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1 pinch salt for shrimp
  • 2 pinches white pepper divided (one for shrimp, one for sauce)
  • 3 cups overnight rice jasmine or long-grain preferred
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 3 tablespoons oil divided
  • 1/2 medium onion thinly diced
  • 1/2 cup peas
  • 1/2 cup carrots diced
  • 1/2 cup corn kernels
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 2 tablespoons scallions thinly chopped

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, season the peeled and deveined shrimp with a pinch of salt and a pinch of white pepper. Set aside.
  • In a small separate bowl, combine 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, and a pinch of white pepper. Mix well to create the stir-fry sauce.
  • Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the shrimp and sear for 1-2 minutes until pink and just cooked through. Remove shrimp from the pan and set aside.
  • Add another 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan. Pour in the beaten eggs and quickly scramble them until set. Remove eggs from the pan and set aside with the shrimp.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan. Add the diced onion, peas, carrots, and corn. Stir-fry for about 1-2 minutes until onions are translucent and veggies are tender.
  • Add the overnight rice to the pan. Break up any clumps with a spatula and toss with the vegetables.
  • Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the rice. Stir-fry constantly on high heat, ensuring the rice is evenly coated and heated through.
  • Add the cooked shrimp, scrambled eggs, and chopped scallions back into the pan. Toss everything together for another minute to combine flavors.
  • Serve immediately while hot.
