2 tbsp neutral oil like grapeseed
03 -
1 small to medium onion, chopped finely
04 -
1 tbsp Japanese sweet rice wine (mirin)
05 -
3 cups pre-cooked white rice
06 -
2 large eggs, whisked
07 -
1/4 cup soy sauce (lower sodium)
08 -
1 tbsp oyster sauce for umami flavor
09 -
1 cup thinly shredded carrot strips
10 -
1 lb peeled and deveined jumbo shrimp (tails off)
11 -
1/3 cup finely chopped green onions (optional for topping)
12 -
2 tsp garlic powder or granules
13 -
1/2 cup each of frozen corn and peas
14 -
2 tsp toasted sesame oil
15 -
Salt and pepper to season as desired
# Steps:
01 -
Sprinkle a little bit of salt and a dash of pepper on the shrimp while in a bowl.
02 -
Warm up some oil in a big pan over medium-high heat and melt about 2 tbsp of butter into it. Toss in the shrimp and cook them about 3 minutes, flipping them as you go. Remove onto a plate for later.
03 -
Pour in the mirin to clear stuck bits from the pan.
04 -
Melt 4 tbsp of butter in the pan. Toss in diced onions and stir them around for a couple of minutes. Add the shredded carrots and keep cooking both for an extra 3 minutes.
05 -
Keep heat on medium and move the cooked veggies to the sides of the pan. Pour sesame oil into the open space and add eggs. Scramble everything together for another minute, letting veggies mix with the eggs.
06 -
Mix the cooked rice with the veggies and eggs. Sprinkle in garlic powder, a pinch of salt, and some soy sauce along with the oyster sauce. Stir it all well until the moisture is absorbed and rice is a bit golden.
07 -
Drop in the frozen peas and corn. Stir everything around until the veggies thaw and heat through.
08 -
Return your cooked shrimp to the pan. Combine it with the rice mix so everything is evenly distributed.
09 -
Sprinkle some chopped green onion on top if you'd like, and serve it hot.
# Notes and Tips:
01 -
To make rice less sticky, rinse it first to wash off surface starch.
02 -
If clam juice isn't your thing, no worries—you can replace it with water.
