Method

1. 1 Use leftover rice that has been left overnight and break the grains apart.
2. 2 Sauté the shrimp for 90 seconds, then remove them to prevent them from becoming tough when fried with rice.
3. 3 Spread the egg mixture into a soft ball and push it to one side of the pan.
4. 4 Add the rice and stir over the highest heat for 4 minutes, until the rice grains jump in the pan.
5. 5 Season the rice with fish sauce around the edges of the pan, not pouring it over the rice; this allows the fish sauce to evaporate and release its aroma.
6. 6 Add the shrimp, sprinkle with chopped scallions, and serve with a lemon wedge and sliced cucumber.
