Shrimp Fried Rice Recipe – Two Fried Rice in One!

In the West, it is known as Shrimp Fried Rice, meanwhile, in the East, it is commonly known as Yangzhou Fried Rice. With my years of experience in the kitchen, where I will be sharing with you my pro tips on what are the key elements to take note when you fry rice!

Important Elements to Note for a Fried Rice 

Let me make this real simple, the important things to take note to make a bowl of good fried rice are;

  1. The rice must be well cooked but not too wet.
    • Hence the reason why most Chinese would say, use overnight rice to cook, they would turn out nicer.
  2. The correct amount of oil is used.
    • Under usage of oil, you fried rice end up being too dry, while over usage of oil, you end up with rice soak in excessive oil. The oil amount has to be just enough to cover the rice giving each individual rice a great shine!
  3. Usage of Egg(s).
    • The aroma from eggs does make the entire rice dish to a much better standard, I did try before cooking them without eggs, the result, not good.

Shrimp Fried Rice + Golden Fried Rice

So to elevate this rice dish, I replace the basic white rice with golden fried rice, where each individual grain of rice is covered with the egg which creates a really aromatic rice dish. Using that to cook Shrimp Fried Rice and this brings the entire rice dish to new heights!

  • Looks so good! Hmmm, I love ramen but this looks too involved for me. I’m too much of a health snob to eat packaged ramen though, although tempting – would rather save my fat for favorite treats. Thanks for helping me get hungry though! ????
