Ingredients
Scale
Proteins
- 1/2 pound shrimp (peeled, deveined, tails removed)
- 1/2 pound steak (such as sirloin or flank, thinly sliced)
- 2 large eggs (beaten)
Rice and Vegetables
- 3 cups cooked and chilled jasmine rice
- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots (thawed)
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions
Sauces and Oils
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (divided)
Seasonings
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Red pepper flakes or sriracha (optional, for heat)
Instructions
- Prepare the Proteins: Season the shrimp and sliced steak lightly with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Sear the steak for 2–3 minutes until browned and just cooked through. Remove the steak from the pan and set aside. In the same skillet, add the shrimp and cook for 2–3 minutes until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside with the steak.
- Cook the Eggs and Aromatics: Reduce heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble them until just set. Push the eggs to one side of the skillet. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the other side and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add Rice and Vegetables: Add the chilled jasmine rice, thawed peas and carrots, and chopped green onions to the skillet. Stir-fry everything together, breaking up any clumps of rice to ensure even cooking and mixing.
- Incorporate Sauces: Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil over the rice mixture. Stir well to evenly coat all ingredients with the savory sauces.
- Combine and Heat Through: Return the cooked steak and shrimp to the skillet. Toss everything together to combine and cook for another 2–3 minutes until all ingredients are heated through. Adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes/sriracha if desired.
- Serve: Serve the shrimp and steak fried rice hot, garnished with extra chopped green onions or a drizzle of sriracha for an extra kick of spice if preferred.
Notes
- For best results, use day-old rice that has been chilled in the fridge to prevent clumping and ensure a perfect fried rice texture.
- You can substitute chicken or tofu for the steak and shrimp if preferred or to suit dietary restrictions.
- Add extra vegetables like bell peppers, broccoli, or snap peas to increase color, flavor, and nutrition.
- Adjust the level of heat with red pepper flakes or sriracha according to your preference.
