This shrimp fried rice dish is best if you use day-old rice. Cook it and spread in a single layer on a baking sheet to cool completely. Then refrigerate overnight to allow it to lose any excess moisture.
This was better than I expected. The simple sauce was tastier than I would've thought. It really seems like part stir fry and part fried rice. Subbed garlic for the ginger. Used pre-washed and chopped veggies when available.
We used this recipe as a stir fry rather than fried rice so did not bother with making rice ahead of time. Used onion, mushrooms, asparagus, red bell pepper, green onion for veges. Stir fried veges then added ginger and 2 minced garlic cloves. Removed and continued recipe as noted. Topped the rice. The sauce was tasty, used Tamari Lite rather than soy sauce (less sodium).
This was a tasty dish but the lack of adequate rice was sadly obvious (I gave extra to my daughter who doesn't like shrimp). I did slightly thicken the sauce with some cornstarch and added some minced garlic in with the ginger. Served with an asian cucumber salad. I'd make it again but my teen was not that excited by it.
Very tasty...a little bit of work in terms of prep.
My fist thought; where's the rice?! But after tasting all those veggies with the shrimp in that great sauce, you forget that there's hardly any rice in this fried rice, because it is delicious ;-).
this is a delicious meal. There is a lot of prep for all the veggies but so worth it. There is a bit of heat but all the flavors still come through. We make this dish a lot
I loved all the veggies in this recipe. I added a little more hot sauce. once I was prepped it came together quickly and easy.
Cooked brown nice the night before so definitely takes some advanced planning, otherwise very quick to assemble and a great way to get tons of veggies in!! Loved the chile paste so I added more than called for to give an even extra kick :)
We were surprised at how good this was. Excellent. It does take a little advanced planning for the rice, but it's a winner.
Very good. Mostly easy although the prep took a little time. Definitely worth the trouble. Could be made with chicken if shrimp is not your thing.
Great home-made fried rice. I added some garlic and a fried egg, and left the chili sauce out so my 6-yr-old would eat it. I forgot to buy green onions so I threw in come regular chopped onion; came out fine. Great-tasting, healthy and quick!
UMMMM!!! So good. I substituted in asparagus for the snap peas and didn't put quite so much chile sauce. So good. Even my 16 year old loved it!! Definitely on the list.
I forgot to pick up edamame so I threw in an extra bell pepper. Past that, I stuck to the recipe. The flavors were spot on, and it had a nice spice at the end (but not spicy). Check out my post with step-by-step photos at: http://www.icancookthat.org/2012/05/shrimp-fried-rice.html
BEST FRIED RICE EVER!! I added a couple cloves of garlic w ginger for 30 sec. Also we really like a little egg in our fried rice so I combined 2 egg whites, 2Tbls oyster sauce, salt & pepper and wisked together then add to pan w ginger / garlic cook 1 min or until egg is still wet looking now add rice and I cooked for just 2 more min. - Then continue w rest of recipe.
We like this very much. It had lots of vegies and a nice variety. It also had a good spicy kick to it.
