➡️ Recipe: Papa Tea’s Shrimp Fried Rice
Ingredients:
6 cups cold or day-old rice
1/2 cup of peas and carrots
5 Eggs
1 medium onion, small dice
1 tsp Sesame oil
Green onions, thinly sliced
Cooking oil

Shrimp & Marinade:
1lb Shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tbsp cornstarch: this is a Pro-Tip for that perfect "snap"! 🤫
2 tsp shaoxing wine
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp white pepper
1 egg

The Secret Sauce:
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp Shaoxing wine
2 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tbsp chicken bouillon
1/2 tsp White Pepper: this is the key to that restaurant taste! 🤫

Instructions:
In a bowl, marinate the shrimp with cornstarch, shaoxing wine, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, white pepper, and one egg. Mix well and set aside.
In a separate bowl, combine the soy sauce, shaoxing wine, oyster sauce, sugar, salt, chicken bouillon, and white pepper. Mix well and set aside.
Crack five eggs into a bowl and whisk to prep for cooking.
In a large pan or wok, heat a little cooking oil and sauté the shrimp until they are 80% cooked through: usually about 2-3 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Heat another 2-3 tbsp of cooking oil on high heat. Sauté the onions until they are translucent. Then scramble the eggs until they are almost cooked through: about 1 minute.

Add in the rice and use a spatula to break up any clumps. Add the peas, carrots, and the shrimp back in.
Pour in the sauce, sesame oil, and green onions. Mix everything well so every grain of rice is perfectly coated.
Garnish with extra green onions and enjoy!
