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.

With an appliance

  • Air fryer 26 min

    Replace step 2: lightly spray oil on the shrimp and fry in an air fryer at 195 degrees for 5 minutes, flipping at the 3rd minute; steps 3 to 6 continue frying the eggs and rice in the pan, then add the shrimp at the end.
