Shrimp Fried Rice

I always love fried rice. When I was in the Philippines, where I seldom cook because I was "spoiled", my sister always requests for me to cook garlic fried rice because that was what I was good at! I don't want to sound conceited but I can make a good fried rice.

Anyway, I seldom cook fried rice here because I don't have left over rice...lol! The secret to a very good fried rice is making sure that you use a day old left over rice. Freshly cooked rice will make the fried rice mushy.

Ingredients:
left over rice
shrimp
garlic
pepper
green onion (minced)
salt
soysauce or fish sauce
carrots
peas
oil

Directions:

• Heat oil in the wok and cook shrimp. Set aside.
• With the remaining oil cook egg. Set aside and sliced.
• Using a bigger wok, heat oil and saute garlic and green onions. Add rice. Cook until you can hear the rice sizzle.
• Season with soysauce ( I prefer fish sauce). Add carrots and peas. Cook until veggies are halfway done.
• Add shrimps and egg. Mixed well and season with pepper.
• Cook until rice is really hot and serve.

Note: Don't stir the rice too much.
