Steps
I bought medium shrimp and peeled about 10 of them. Good frozen cocktail shrimp are readily available these days, and they work great too.
For the vegetables, I only prepared three-color chili peppers and large green onion (daepa), but you can substitute bell peppers or carrots.
To help them cook evenly, I sliced the thick shrimp in half and cut them into bite-sized pieces for a good texture.
Beat 2 eggs well and finely chop the vegetables.
Swirl the chili peppers in water so the seeds sink to the bottom, then lift them out and drain.
Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a preheated pan and stir-fry the large green onion until fragrant.
Add the shrimp and stir-fry until completely cooked and red. You can stir-fry with mirin (cooking rice wine) to remove any fishy odor from frozen shrimp.
Add the beaten eggs and all the three-color chili peppers, then mix well until the eggs and vegetables are cooked through.
Add the oyster sauce, mix well, and taste. If it needs more seasoning, adjust with salt.
Finally, add toasted sesame seeds, ground black pepper, and toasted sesame oil, mix evenly, then pack the fried rice firmly into a bowl and invert it onto a plate to serve.
Ppunwife's tips
- For a simple fried rice without many seasonings, making green onion oil first gives it much better flavor and a restaurant-quality taste.
- You can add mirin (cooking rice wine) when stir-frying frozen shrimp to help remove any fishy odor.
