Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 cups cooked rice
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn)
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp sriracha sauce
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by measuring and chopping: peel and devein shrimp, slice green onions, and ensure rice is cooked and cooled.
- Heat a large wok or wide skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Ensure the pan is hot before adding ingredients.
- Add beaten eggs to the pan and quickly scramble, breaking into small pieces. Once cooked, transfer eggs to a separate plate and set aside.
- In the same pan, add remaining oil and sauté shrimp for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and are almost fully cooked. Remove shrimp and set aside.
- Add mixed vegetables to the pan and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they are slightly tender but still crisp.
- Add cooked rice to the pan, breaking up any clumps and ensuring even distribution with vegetables.
- Pour soy sauce and sriracha sauce over the rice, stirring continuously to coat all ingredients evenly.
- Return scrambled eggs and cooked shrimp to the pan, gently mixing to combine all ingredients and heat through.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more soy sauce or sriracha to preference.
- Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions.
- Serve hot and enjoy your Sriracha Shrimp Fried Rice Medley immediately.
Tips
- Use day-old rice for the best texture – freshly cooked rice can become mushy when stir-frying.
- Ensure your wok or skillet is super hot before adding ingredients to achieve that authentic wok-seared flavor.
- Cook ingredients in stages to prevent overcrowding and ensure each component is perfectly cooked.
- Don't be afraid to adjust the sriracha sauce to your personal spice tolerance – start with less and add more as needed.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of sesame oil at the end or using garlic and ginger when sautéing vegetables.
- Make sure shrimp are not overcooked – they should be pink and just firm to maintain their tender texture.
- Prep all ingredients before you start cooking, as stir-frying moves quickly and requires immediate attention.
