Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked long grain white rice - I like basmati
- 3 teaspoons vegetable oil - divided use
- 3 teaspoons sesame oil - divided use
- 2 eggs - whisked vigorously
- 2 shallots (or 1/4 cup red onion) - sliced thin
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger - minced
- 1 teaspoon garlic - minced (about 3 cloves)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons ají amarillo paste - optional; add more or less to taste
- 1 sweet bell pepper - cut in strips or chopped
- 16 ounces shrimp (or other protein) - see post for more information
- 1 cup English peas
- 3 scallions - chopped
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce - I like tamari
- cilantro, scallions, sesame seeds - for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the wok or skillet to very hot. Add a bit of the oil or spray with cooking spray. Pour in the whisked eggs, and reduce the heat. Flip when the egg starts to set on top. Remove from the pan. Chop coarsely. Wipe the wok of any egg residue.
- Add a bit of the oil and sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, ginger, and cumin, optional ají amarillo paste, and shallot or onion. Stir continuously 30-60 seconds being careful to not burn the garlic.
- Add the rice and bell pepper strips to the pan. Stir-fry until bell pepper is crisp-tender (3 to 4 minutes). Remove and set aside. Wipe out the wok or pan if necessary.
- Add a little bit more oil or spray to the pan, and cook over high heat. Stir-fry your protein. The time will vary according to your chosen protein.
- Whisk the soy sauce with remaining sesame oil. Add the peas and scallions, and the rice and bell peppers. Stir in the soy sauce mixture. Lastly, add back in the shrimp (or other protein). Stir to combine, and remove from the heat.
- Plate the fried rice, garnish with additional chopped scallions, chopped cilantro, and sesame seeds as desired. Enjoy!
