Ingredients

6 oz shrimp, bite sized pieces

Pinch kosher salt

3 tablespoon vegetable oil, divided

3 eggs, lightly beaten

2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated

1 clove garlic, minced

½ onion chopped

3 cups leftover cooked rice

2 teaspoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon oyster sauce

½ cup soy beans

1 teaspoon sesame oil

2 green onions, chopped

Japanese mayonnaise

Sriracha sauce (optional)

Furikake

Directions

Season shrimp with salt.

Heat a large frying pan or wok, add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Cook the eggs until almost completely cooked and remove to a bowl.

Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Add ginger, garlic and shrimp. Cook until just cooked through. Remove to a bowl with the cooked egg.

Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and onion and cook for 2 minutes until soft.

Add rice and break it down into smaller chunks. Stir fry for about 3-5 minutes until heated through and rice is no longer clumping. Stir in soy sauce and oyster sauce. ( i include fish sauce)

Add soy beans (i add peas and any other veg i might have in the fridge)and cook for about a minute. Added cabbage slaw too. Stir in eggs and shrimp. Turn off the heat.

Add sesame oil and most of the green onion, setting aside a bit for garnish.

Serve in individual bowls. Squeeze Japanese mayonnaise and Sriracha over the rice in a zigzag pattern.

Sprinkle Furikake and green onion on top.

Notes

I made this by cooking the rice the day before doing this recipe. I also cooked my pork country ribs the night before with asian flavors in the InstantPot. And then shredded it. Id do the same with chicken for chicken fried rice.
