Description

Ingredients

• ¼ cup vegetable oil, plus 1 tablespoon
• 10 ounces shrimp, peeled and deveined (optional)
• 2 ounces ginger, minced
• 1½ heads of garlic, minced (about ¼ cup)
• 5 cups cooked white rice, cooled
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
• ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
• 4 eggs, beaten
• 3 scallions, finely chopped

Directions

• Heat your wok over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil to coat. Quickly stir-fry the shrimp until theyre just cooked. They should be pink, but ever-so slightly translucent. Avoid overcooking them (you will be adding them back to the wok later). Transfer them to a bowl and set aside.
• Add ¼ cup oil to the wok and heat over medium-high heat. Add the ginger and fry until fragrant (the color will darken, but the ginger will not necessarily become crisp). Next, add the garlic. It should be lightly toasted; if it’s still white in color, it needs more cooking time. In total, it will take about 10 minutes time to cook the ginger and garlic.
• Next, turn the heat up to high and add the rice to the wok. Stir-fry the rice so the ginger/garlic mixture is evenly distributed. Spread the rice out in one layer so it can evenly toast. Occasionally stir-fry the rice and re-spread it. Next, season the rice with the soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, and white pepper. Continue to stir-fry for another 3-5 minutes.
• Next, pour the eggs evenly over the rice, and stir-fry quickly to distribute. The egg will coat the grains of rice, and you’ll have egg throughout instead of large clumps. If you’d prefer to pre-scramble the eggs and then stir them in at this step, you can do that too.
• Add the shrimp and the scallions, stir-fry to combine, and serve!
